The tool not only provides state-of-the-art coverage of freely available content, it is the only discovery service which:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>delivers state-of-the-art performance compared to other discovery tools in terms of both content coverage (finding a freely available copy when it is available) and precision (reliably delivering a free copy of the paper on success);</li><li>is run by researchers for researchers (as opposed to companies);</li><li>has the best grip on content from the global network of open repositories;</li><li>can deliver to readers other relevant freely available research papers even in situations where a freely available version is not available from anywhere on the web.</li></ul> <p>To satisfy the needs of CORE users, the world’s largest global aggregator of open access research papers now helps users access articles of their interest. Generally, discovery tools can find typically free copies of papers for about <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/petrknoth/analysing-the-performance-of-open-access-papers-discovery-tools">15%-30% of published documents</a> (slide 11).

CORE Discovery can offer the user relevant documents even in situations where other discovery tools are not successful.

The CORE Recommender plugin can be installed on repositories and journal systems to recommend similar scholarly content. On <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/10/04/core-recommender/">this very blog</a>, Nancy Pontika, Lucas Anastasiou and Petr Knoth, announced the release of the Recommender as a:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>…great opportunity to improve the functionality of repositories by unleashing the power of recommendation over a huge collection of open-access documents, currently 37 million metadata records and more than 4 million full-text, available in CORE*.<br /> <small>(* Note from CORE Team: the up-to-date numbers are 80,097,014 metadata and 8,586,179 full-text records.)</small>.</em></p> <p>When the CORE Recommender is deployed a repository user will find that as they are viewing an article or abstract page within the repository, they will be presented with recommendations for other related research outputs, all mined from CORE. The Recommender sends data about the item the user is visiting to CORE. Such data include any identifiers and, where possible, accompanying metadata. The CORE response to the repository then delivers CORE’s content recommendations and a list of suggested related outputs are presented to the user in the repository user interface. The algorithm used to compute these recommendations is described in <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/10/04/core-recommender/">the original CORE Recommender blog post</a> but is ultimately based on content-based filtering, citation graph analysis and analysis of the semantic relatedness between the articles in the CORE aggregation. It is therefore unlike most standard recommender engines and is an innovative application of open science in repositories.</p> <p>Needless to say, we were among the first institutions to proudly implement the CORE Recommender on our EPrints repository. The implementation was on <a href="https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/">Strathprints</a>, the University of Strathclyde’s institutional repository, and was rolled out as part of some wider work to improve repository visibility and web impact. The detail of this other work can be found <a href="https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/61333/">in a poster presented at the 2017 Repository Fringe Conference</a> and </p> <p>a recent blog post<span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2017/10/31/implementing-the-core-recommender-in-strathprints-a-whitehat-improvement-to-promote-user-interaction/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p> </div> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2017/10/31/implementing-the-core-recommender-in-strathprints-a-whitehat-improvement-to-promote-user-interaction/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2017-10-31T11:43:53+00:00">31st October 2017</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/recommender/" rel="category tag">recommender</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/repositories/" rel="category tag">repositories</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/open-access/" rel="tag">open access</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/recommendation-systems/" rel="tag">recommendation systems</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/recommender/" rel="tag">recommender</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/statistics/" rel="tag">statistics</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/strathclyde-university/" rel="tag">strathclyde university</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/strathprints/" rel="tag">strathprints</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/tdm/" rel="tag">tdm</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/text-and-data-mining/" rel="tag">text and data mining</a></span> </footer> </article> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts pagination"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts pagination</h2> <div class="nav-links"><span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/recommender/page/2/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>2</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/recommender/page/2/">Next page</a></div> </nav> </main> </section> </div> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="site-info"> <div class="license"> <p> <a rel="license" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" title="Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license"><img class="lazy" style="float:right;" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="//i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" alt="License"></a> </p> <div style="display: inline;" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" about="http://creativecommons.org"> <p> <small> Except where otherwise noted, content on <span href="http://blog.core.ac.uk" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">this site</span> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" class="subfoot"> Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license </a>. </small> </p> </div> </div> <a href="https://wordpress.org/">Proudly powered by WordPress</a> </div> </footer> </div> <script type='text/javascript'> /* <![CDATA[ */ r3f5x9JS=escape(document['referrer']);
