| Summary: | Literature Review (LR) and Manuscript Preparatory (MP) tasks are
two key activities for researchers. While process-based and technologicaloriented
interventions have been introduced to bridge the apparent gap between
novices and experts for LR tasks, there are very few approaches for MP tasks.
In this paper, we introduce a novel task of shortlisting important papers from
the reading list of researchers, meant for citation in a manuscript. The technique
helps in identifying the important and unique papers in the reading list. Based
on a user evaluation study conducted with 116 participants, the effectiveness
and usefulness of the task is shown using multiple evaluation metrics. Results
show that research students prefer this task more than research and academic
staff. Qualitative feedback of the participants including the preferred aspects
along with critical comments is presented in this paper. |
