BIBEX is a bibliographic search tool that allows users to perform advanced searches on large publication datasets. It features searches for quality articles, relevant articles, article recommendations, reviser recommendations, and social networks. These searches help researchers find important publications, related keywords, unbiased revisers, and collaborators. BIBEX visualizes results and publication networks to help navigate large amounts of literature.

15. Searches Quality articles ¿What are we looking for? A researcher may need to discover, for a certain theme, articles worth reading. When it’s a narrow area the job may be quite straightforward, but what happens when that search is for subjects like “software engineering” or “databases” with millions of related results? SOLUTION “Quality articles” with BIBEX gives for a certain area the articles whose authors have very appreciated work in the scientific community.

Searches Quality Articles example Keywords (mandatory): Expression of keywords to define a certain subject for publications recommender AND collaborative AND filtering Threshold (mandatory): Total number (maximum) of referred researchers to visualize 10 Time interval (optional): From and to when publications are taken into account Additional filters: A more restrictive interval time, included inside the already established, can be created Resolve

21. Searches Relevant articles ¿What are we looking for? The most relevant articles on a certain subject are frequently the most referred by articles of a similar subject (or the same one). The number of references for an article is a very appreciated indicator in the scientific community in order to establish the relevance of an article. SOLUTION “Relevant articles” with BIBEX gives, for some keywords, the most referred articles on that subject.

25. Searches Articles recommendation ¿What are we looking for? An unsuccessful search is sometimes the result of not knowing which keywords fit best. Researchers wish to improve their searches to retrieve more accurate results or to widen the results to similar areas of interest. SOLUTION “Articles recommendation” with BIBEX uses alternative words for the given keywords to find a new group of articles in the same area.

28. Searches Revisers recommendation ¿What are we looking for? When an article is sent to a congress or a magazine for publication it’s mandatory to have some revisers assigned who guarantee its quality. Revisers should be impartial, so it’s crucial to find those that for a certain area share the minimum social links with the author of the article to be revised. SOLUTION “Revisers recommendation” with BIBEX makes that selection easy returning for some keywords those revisers with less links in the social network of their authors.

32. Searches Social Network ¿What are we looking for? Researches with mixed groups are considered a good practice in the scientific community. From those collaborations social links are created between investigators. Visualizing those relations may allow meeting new investigators or groups to establish new relations. SOLUTION “Social Network” with BIBEX returns for an author its social network of co authority or references.
