Abstract

Researchers are required to find previous literature which is related to their research and has a scientific impact efficiently from a large number of publications. The target problem of this paper is predicting the citation count of each scholarly paper, that is, the number of citations from other scholarly papers, as the scientific impact. The authors tried to detect the high and low of the citation count of scholarly papers using only their abstracts, especially, non-technical terms used in them. They conducted a classification of abstracts of scholarly papers with high and low citation counts, and applied the classification also to the abstracts modified by deleting technical terms from them. The results of their experiments indicate that the scientific impact of a scholarly paper can be detected from information which is written in its abstract and is not related to the trend of research topics. The classification accuracy for detecting scholarly papers with the top or bottom 1% citation counts was 0.93, and that using the abstracts without technical terms was 0.90.
