Design and Implementation of an Online Reference Tracking System

The World Wide Web has become a repository of up-to-date information for scientific scholars and researchers. Large number of closely relevant publications makes it desirable to cite them out for necessary references. Integration of bibliographical information of various publications available on net is an important task for researchers for which, the extraction of accurate metadata reference is essential. This paper involves aggregating and synthesizing content from various references on the Web for a given publication, thereby introducing greater efficiency and granularity to the task of finding publication information. It also involves tracking up the references required for the understanding of the journal, stores them in the databases and projects the user information as per the user´s need. With the help of specific attribute, which includes the author, title, year of publication and the like, other similar papers can also be tracked.
