Chang, J. C., Zhang, A. X., Bragg, J., Head, A., Lo, K., Downey, D., & Weld, D. S. (2023). CiteSee: Augmenting Citations in Scientific Papers with Persistent and Personalized Historical Context. Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 1–15
This Augmented reading project adds some special features to inline citations in papers:
inline citations for papers you’ve already saved are colored purple
a tooltip shows the citing sentence from the paper where you saved it, to help you remember why you saved it
inline citations for your own papers, and for papers you’ve cited in your own papers, are converted to special symbols
my favorite design detail: papers cited in papers you’ve recently viewed are highlighted in progressively darker shades of yellow-orange as more “encounters” accumulate—a nice continuous representation for likely relevance
