When reading a scholarly article, inline citations help researchers contextualize the current article and discover relevant prior work. However, it can be challenging to prioritize and make sense of the hundreds of citations encountered during literature reviews. This paper introduces CiteSee, a paper reading tool that leverages a user's publishing, reading, and saving activities to provide personalized visual augmentations and context around citations. First, CiteSee connects the current paper to familiar contexts by surfacing known citations a user had cited or opened. Second, CiteSee helps users prioritize their exploration by highlighting relevant but unknown citations based on saving and reading history. We conducted a lab study that suggests CiteSee is significantly more effective for paper discovery than three baselines. A field deployment study shows CiteSee helps participants keep track of their explorations and leads to better situational awareness and increased paper discovery via inline citation when conducting real-world literature reviews.

翻译：在阅读学术文章时，行内引文有助于研究者将当前文章置于已有研究脉络中，并发现相关的前期工作。然而，在文献综述过程中，面对成百上千条引文，研究者往往难以对其进行优先级排序和有效理解。本文介绍CiteSee——一款论文阅读工具，它利用用户的发表、阅读和保存行为，围绕引文提供个性化的视觉增强与上下文信息。首先，CiteSee通过展示用户曾引用或打开过的已知引文，将当前论文与熟悉的上下文联系起来。其次，CiteSee基于用户的保存和阅读历史，高亮显示相关但未知的引文，从而帮助用户优先探索未读文献。我们开展的实验室研究表明，CiteSee在论文发现方面的效果显著优于三种基线方法。实地部署研究则显示，在进行真实的文献综述时，CiteSee能帮助参与者追踪其探索路径，提升情境感知能力，并通过行内引文实现更高的论文发现率。
