Technology
CiteSeer is based on the [SmealSearch] engine. If offers the following functionalities:
- Search documents database with keywords. The sortable results include a title, a link, a context for the search keywords, number of citations
- Search citations with different query terms (e.g. an author name). The result will show entries with author, title, date, journal/volume etc. Details for each result can be consulted in the context page.
For details see: MEALSearch Help Page and the FAQ
Note: It is very important that teachers (or some other facilitators) explain how such an engine works or engage learners in a formal activity that makes them learn. Most people do not take time to understand how such specialized engines work.
