CRIS with in-text citations as interactive entities

Abstract

Based on current development of the Socionet CRIS (socionet.ru), we discuss in this paper a transformation of research papers’ text fragments called the in-text citations into interactive entities, which can initiate direct scholarly communications between the authors who are cited (cited authors) and those who cite (citing authors). This process, in its turn, opens up opportunities for cited and citing authors to transform their typically one-way scholarly communication into research collaboration.
