Abstract
The traditional process of the intrinsic evaluation of the quality of scholarly publications is peer reviewing. This is a time-consuming activity. In order to facilitate and speed up peer reviewing processes we have developed an exploratory natural language processing system implemented within the Xerox Incremental Parser for English, French, German and Swedish. The system highlights sentences that convey the most important threads of the article’s content in order to focus the reviewer’s attention on the design of the argumentation in the article. We have tested the results in several experimental settings.
This chapter contains the revised version and extension of Sándor and Vorndran (2009).
