New Algorithm for Ranking Research Papers based on Citation Network and Performance

Abstract

In this paper we propose an efficient method to rank the research papers from various fields of research published in various conferences over the years. This ranking method is based on citation network. The importance of a research paper is captured well by the peer vote, which in this case is the research paper being cited in other research papers. Using a modified version of the PageRank algorithm, we rank the research papers, assigning each of them an authoritative score. Using the scores of the research papers calculated by above mentioned method, we formulate scores for conferences and authors and rank them as well. We have introduced a new metric in the algorithm which takes into account the time factor in ranking the research papers to reduce the bias against the recent papers which get less time for being studied and consequently cited by the researchers as compared to the older papers. Often a researcher is more interested in finding the top conferences in a particular year rather than the overall conference ranking. Considering the year of publication of the papers, in addition to the paper scores we also calculated the year wise score of each conference by slight improvisation of the above mentioned algorithm.
