Abstract

Citations have great potential to be a valuable resource in mining the bioscience literature (Nakov et al., 2004). The text around citations (or citances) tends to state biological facts with reference to the original papers that discovered them. The cited facts are typically stated in a more concise way in the citing papers than in the original. We hypothesize that in many cases, as time goes by, the citation sentences can more accurately indicate the most important contributions of a paper than its original abstract.
