Abstract

Scholarly search systems greatly aid the deep understanding of scholarly data and facilitate the research activities of scholars for scientific studies. Though a number of such systems have been developed, most of them either support rankings of limited search of entities or provide only basic ranking metrics. These existing systems also mainly adopt RDBMSs as their storage such that the linked feature of scholarly data is not fully exploited. In this study, we design and develop a novel scholarly search system Athena. (1) It supports four types of scholarly entity searches: articles, authors, venues and affiliations, and is equipped with five ranking metrics, including three traditional metrics and two comprehensive importance ranking metrics. (2) It also provides profiling of scholarly entities. (3) It further utilizes a graph storage to directly leverage the linked feature for speeding up the processing of complex queries. We demonstrate the advantages of Athena at scholarly search, profiling, graph storage and ranking quality.
