... For example, it gives information about the person who wrote this paper and that it appeared in a book called the Fourth Proceedings of IJCAI, as identified in Figure 5-2. 1 Presentation slides are available at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/brdi/PGA_064019 2 Jeff Jarvis, media company consultant and associate professor at the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism, in "The importance of provenance", on his BuzzMachine blog, June, 2010.

... Or maybe, I should follow the citation because it is at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and I happen to have background knowledge about artificial intelligence to know that this is a top conference in the field. So, again, I think I trust this piece and think it can be used in my work.
From page 33...
... I think we need to develop this platform trust metrics separately. We also need to develop scalable algorithms for calculating these trust metrics.

... ACM SIGMOD Vol 34, No 3, 2005. See also a longer version.

... DR. BOLLEN: The least we can say about usage data is that someone paid attention to a particular resource, whereas with citations, it is an explicit public statement of someone indicating that they have been influenced or impacted by someone else's work.
From page 36...
... We can get all the new developments free rather than having to reinvent the wheel. In order to get closer to what we refer to as longevity of identifiers similar to what we have in print, I am actually in favor of having an accession number that is not protocol based, like the DOI or an ARK identifier as introduced by the California Digital Library.
From page 37...
... I have a hard time accepting the concept of citable publication without some kind of quality control, either peer review or an equivalent mechanism. PARTICIPANT: When a database comes out, it is often transformed before it is published.
From page 38...
... So, from my point of view, citation means that as data centers, we are making some judgments about the technical quality of the datasets. We cannot say anything about the scientific quality of the data because that is for the domain experts and the scientific peer review process to decide.
From page 39...
... WILBANKS: I think it is also important to note that even in the big "P," traditional peer review is starting to change. Recently, we started to see articles getting published that are only reviewed for scientific validity, without attempting to judge input in advance.
From page 40...
... So, let us start with the simple task first. Finally, we may need some standard ways to make citations look nice in the back of our papers.
