Critical evaluation of in-text citations is a substitute qualitative measurement method to determine the quality of scientific publications. Unfortunately, the development of tools to facilitate the measurement process has not received attention from academics. This study aims to develop a system to analyze the qualitative quality of publications in Indonesian-language or Indonesian written works.
The prototyping approach is used to develop applications with requirements gathered from previous research analysis and focus group discussions.
This research outcome, a Web-based system contains five methods for measuring publications based on in-text citations, namely, the location of citations (introduction, literature review, methods, result, results and discussion, discussion); frequency of citations, sentiment (positive, negative and neutral); function (utilization, introduction, comparison, explanation and links); and role of sources (data, supplements, methods and results).
This tool has limitations that have the potential to be developed in further research. The notes given for each publication are made manually. In the future, this annotation process needs to be developed automatically and proposed to apply the Natural Language Processing methods. Thus, the analysis results will be faster and more accurate.
This paper contributes to the development of a system to analyze the citation quality of an Indonesian scientific paper. The system can be developed in the future to automatically detect the required attributes.
