👉 Citations computing refers to the automated process of identifying, extracting, and organizing references from various sources such as academic papers, books, websites, and other scholarly materials into structured data formats. This process typically involves Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, machine learning algorithms, and data mining to detect citations within text, recognize author names, publication dates, journal titles, and other metadata. The extracted information is then organized into a standardized citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) and often linked to the original source, enabling efficient data management, analysis, and integration into databases or knowledge graphs. This automation significantly reduces manual effort, enhances accuracy, and facilitates the creation of comprehensive bibliometric analyses, citation networks, and other research applications that rely on large-scale citation data.
