Its goal is to help researchers in finding related works. Further, this paper seeks to explore the effect of using relational features in addition to textual features on the quality of recommended citations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>In order to propose a novel citation recommendation system, first a new relational similarity measure is proposed for calculating the relatedness of two publications. Then, a recommendation algorithm is presented that uses both relational and textual features to compute the semantic distances of publications of a bibliographic dataset from the input text.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The evaluation of the proposed system shows that combining relational features with textual features leads to better recommendations, in comparison with relying only on the textual features. It also demonstrates that citation context plays an important role among textual features. In addition, it is concluded that different relational features have different contributions to the proposed similarity measure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>A new citation recommendation system is proposed which uses a novel semantic distance measure. This measure is based on textual similarities and a new relational similarity concept. The other contribution of this paper is that it sheds more light on the importance of citation context in citation recommendation, by providing more evidences through analysis of the results. In addition, a genetic algorithm is developed for assigning weights to the relational features in the similarity measure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/00330331311296320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,31]],"date-time":"2013-01-31T13:15:03Z","timestamp":1359638103000},"page":"92-112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["SemCiR"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Fattane","family":"Zarrinkalam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mohsen","family":"Kahani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021119465223900_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adomavicius, G. and Tuzhilin, A.
