CiteSeerX Beta

Today's reference site is CiteSeerX, a scientific (primarily computer and information science) digital library and search engine from Penn State University. In addition to over one million articles in its database of articles, CiteSeerX provides a suite of discovery tools to assist researchers in finding the most relevant literature, including citation rankings and impact ratings.

Advanced search provides a variety of search fields and sorting criteria. Results can be sorted by number of citations, recency, relevance and date order.

CiteSeerX provides a number of search and discovery features beyond just indexed content: autonomous citation indexing, reference linking, citation context, related content and query-sensistive summaries are only some of the advantages of the CiteSeerX interface.
