Abstract
The architecture utilizes the network effects of patents, journals, authors, institutions, and funding entities, for example, to establish an objective reputation factor. The reputation factor contributes to a higher perceived relevance as well as provides interesting new services that could be built on top. The algorithm takes into account not only the number of cited-by references for a certain paper, author, or institution, but can also generate a higher ranking for cross-disciplinary citations, citations establishing a new area of science, acknowledgement citations, and constantly-updated reputation factors of different important entities, such as co-authorship, institutional affiliation, and journal impact factor. Impact factors can be fed back into the system for consideration in generating the reputation factor.
