• Abstract: Scientific impact is multidimensional: overall influence, current popularity, early citation momentum, and field-relative performance each capture a distinct facet of a publication's impact. Yet, in practice, these dimensions are often reduced to a single metric, such as citation count. Open solutions for computing multiple complementary impact indicators at scale remain scarce, particularly for citation graphs as large as those provided by major scholarly databases. We introduce BIP! Ranker, an open-source, Spark-based library for computing citation-based impact indicators at scale, capable of processing citation networks with billions of citations among hundreds of millions of publications.

  We focus on leveraging citation graphs to improve scientific paper extractive summarization under different settings. Preliminary results demonstrate that citation graph is helpful even in a simple unsupervised framework. Motivated by this, we propose a Graph-based Supervised Summarization model (GSS) to achieve more accurate results on the task when large-scale labeled data are available.

  It's outlined that deep learning-based studies gained momentum after year 2013, and the rate of graph-based approaches in all deep learning studies increased linearly from 1% to 4% within the following 10 years. Despite their similar performance in recent years, graph-based studies show twice more citation performance as they get older, compared to traditional approaches.
