Zusammenfassung
With the rapid growth in the number of scientific publications, year after year, it is becoming increasingly
difficult to identify quality authoritative work on a single topic. Though there is an availability of scientometric
measures which promise to offer a solution to this problem, these measures are mostly quantitative and rely,
for instance, only on the number of times an article is cited. With this approach, it becomes irrelevant if an
article is cited 10 times in a positive, negative or neutral way. In this context, it is quite important to study the
qualitative aspect of a citation to understand its significance. This paper presents a novel system for sentiment
analysis of citations in scientific documents (SentiCite) and is also capable of detecting nature of citations
by targeting the motivation behind a citation, e.g., reference to a dataset, reading reference. Furthermore,
the paper also presents two datasets (SentiCiteDB and IntentCiteDB) containing about 2,600 citations with
their ground truth for sentiment and nature of citation. SentiCite along with other state-of-the-art methods for
sentiment analysis are evaluated on the presented datasets. Evaluation results reveal that SentiCite outperforms
state-of-the-art methods for sentiment analysis in scientific publications by achieving a F1-measure of 0.71.
