Patent number: 10990631Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to linking documents using citations. A server accesses a stored document in a data repository. The server determines a set of candidate citing documents that cite the stored document. The server obtains, for each candidate citing document from the set, first information representing an impact of the candidate citing document taken as a whole and second information representing a citation context within the candidate citing document. The server determines a subset of citing documents, from the set of candidate citing documents, based on the obtained first information and the obtained second information. The server provides a digital transmission of the stored document, including visible indicia of the subset of citing documents, for display at a client device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Vyacheslav Zholudev, Michael Häusler, Ijad Madisch, Horst Fickenscher, Darren Alvares

Patent number: 10733256Abstract: Various systems and methods for creating, storing, structuring, displaying, enhancing, and/or referencing publications and related content in an online user network are described. In some embodiments, documents are stored in the form of individually addressable document elements in conjunction with an ordered list of the document elements. Updates to a document can then be analyzed to identify omissions of document elements and/or additions of new document elements, which can be reflected in an updated list of document elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Horst Fickenscher, Niall Kelly, Vyacheslav Zholudev, Darren Alvares, Stephen Mansfield
