An Article Revising Support System for Facilitating Research Activities

Abstract

Graduate and undergraduate students in the laboratory usually deal with not only formal information such as research articles and presentation documents but also informal information which represents a process of research activities. However, it is difficult for new students belonging to the laboratory to acquire such informal information from researchers and other students through the laboratory life. In order to resolve this issue, we have developed an article revising support system called CommentManager that facilitates the process of article revising and extracts the knowledge for revising from the informal information accumulated from the article revising processes of the laboratory members.
