DL Project Suggestion: ETDs and ResearchIndex
Title: ResearchIndex adapted for ETDs
- Number of people: 2-3
- Goal: To get ResearchIndex running at Virginia Tech, to have
our ETD collection processed with it, and to document its use in NDLTD

- Required background: interest in citation and article processing
- Description:
ResearchIndex (formerly CiteSeer)
which is described in various articles including Digital Libraries and Autonomous Citation Indexing, is
available free for
use at Virginia Tech. Dr. Lawrence would like to help
us apply it on campus, such as with electronic theses and dissertations.
It will allow building of a citation database, plagiarism
detection, and other activities in addition to search.
This could be of great benefit to Virginia Tech.
