Computer Science Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Citation Network Exploration Tool

This Computer Science final year project investigates exploring links among openly available academic references, with an explicit prototype scope and a reproducible evaluation plan.

Why choose this project topic?

The practical value of this topic lies in exploring links among openly available academic references. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with link accuracy, query response and task completion providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.

Which graph views help users trace related papers without confusing citation count with quality?

Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt exploring links among openly available academic references to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for exploring links among openly available academic references.
  2. 02Use a small open citation dataset, implement neighbourhood and path views and evaluate graph correctness plus consented information-finding tasks.
  3. 03Evaluate link accuracy, query response and task completion against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.

A suggested research approach

Use a small open citation dataset, implement neighbourhood and path views and evaluate graph correctness plus consented information-finding tasks. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing link accuracy, query response and task completion. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.

What you will need

  • Open citation dataset with licence
  • Graph processing library
  • Defined exploration tasks

Keep your project scope clear

Citation coverage is incomplete and centrality must not be reported as a measure of research truth. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
