Abstract

Search engines and social bookmarking systems are important tools for web resource discovery. The performance and capabilities of web search engines are vital. This paper proposes CiteRank, a combination of a similarity ranking with a static ranking. Similarity ranking measures the match between a query and a research paper index; while a static ranking, or a query independent ranking, measures the quality of a research paper. For this particular study, a group of factors containing: number of groups contained the posted paper, year of publication, research paper posted time, and priority of a research paper was used to determine a static ranking score. The NDCG was used as an evaluation metric. CiteRank was compared with SimRank and StaticRank. The results of the experiment showed that CiteRank produces a better ranking than the other methods. This implies that CiteRank can improve the effectiveness of research paper searching on social bookmarking websites.
