1. A method performed by one or more server devices, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor of the one or more server devices, committee members of a committee associated with an event based on data stored within a digital memory device;
obtaining, by a processor of the one or more server devices, metrics associated with the committee members who are authors or contributors of first documents;
receiving, by a processor of the one or more server devices, a search query related to the event;
identifying, by a processor of the one or more server devices, a set of documents based on the search query; and
ranking, by a processor of the one or more server devices and based on the metrics associated with the committee members, documents in the set of documents, based on receiving the search query, where the set of documents does not include the first documents.

Abstract
A system receives a search query related to an academic event of multiple academic events, the academic event having a committee with one or more members. The system searches a corpus of documents associated with the multiple academic events based on the search query to produce a set of search result documents. The system ranks the set of search result documents based on metrics associated with the one or more committee members of the academic event.
