Description

Device and method for managing references and inserting citation information when writing a paper {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING REFERENCES AND INSERTING CITATION INFORMATION WHEN WRITING THESIS}

The present invention relates to a device and an interface related thereto for automatically citing references when writing a document and generating a citation style so that the cited references match the style of the document being written.

When writing a paper or academic journal, it is inevitable to cite references that can support the author's claims. At this time, references cited in papers or academic papers must be accurately identified as the source. If the source of the reference is not disclosed, it may constitute a copyright infringement. For example, if an author cites a specific phrase from a specific reference, a plagiarism dispute may arise as if the author had written the specific phrase.

In order to prevent this problem, authors have the inconvenience of having to complete preliminary excerpts of the documents to be cited and the parts to be cited before writing the thesis or journal. Moreover, there is a problem in that the author must type the portion to be cited from the references and write footnotes or endnotes for the cited portion. In addition, if the reference is created as an electronic document, you can generally insert a specific part of the reference into the document you are writing through 'copy and paste'. However, due to problems with the format of the electronic document, 'copy and paste' is not possible. If not supported, the author must type it manually.

In addition, there is a lack of a platform for searching references to cite, and when there are a large number of searched references, there is no separate program or service that can perform integrated management of references, which is also a problem.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and aims to implement a platform that can insert references that can be cited when writing papers or academic journals according to the format of the document being written.

Conventional programs only provide tools for managing sources, so they provide a function that links tools for managing notes on documents (such as quotations, summaries, figures, tables, personal ideas, etc.) and tools for managing sources. The purpose is to

However, the technical challenge that this embodiment aims to achieve is not limited to the technical challenges described above, and other technical challenges may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, a method of citing a document based on the interface of a citation application, performed by a user terminal, includes: (a) at least one reference stored on an external server through the citation application; searching and receiving; (b) the citation application provides a citation button for each reference and receives an input that the citation button for a specific reference is clicked; and (c) inserting and expressing citation information of a specific reference into a document writer.

In addition, the citation application provides a citation interface to the user terminal, and the citation interface includes a main menu for managing citation information of references, a document management window for status and modification of citation information, and a group of multiple references and citation information. A hierarchical structure window for managing each may be provided.

Additionally, the main menu may provide at least one function for saving and loading citation information of references or inserting the source of citation information and citation information into the document writer.

Additionally, the document management window displays citation information corresponding to references received from an external server, and the citation information can be modified through the document management window.

Additionally, the hierarchy window can display documents created through the document writer and citation information inserted into the document in the form of hierarchical groups.

Additionally, the hierarchy window displays at least one document as a list, and when a specific document is selected, at least one or more citation information included in the specific document can be listed and displayed.

Additionally, when a document or citation information is selected in the hierarchy window, specific information about the selected document or citation information may be displayed in the document management window.

Additionally, step (c) can call references based on the Rest API protocol.

In addition, in step (c), when the citation button is clicked, the citation information of a specific reference is transmitted from the citation application to the existing document writer as either a RIS extension file or an ENW extension file, and the document writer recognizes the file and Citation information can be expressed in text form according to a preset template.

In addition, in the device for citing a document based on the interface of the citing application, a memory storing a program for citing a document based on the interface of the citing application and executing the program stored in the memory to quote the document based on the interface of the citing application It includes a processor, wherein the processor searches and receives at least one reference stored in an external server through a citation application, the citation application provides a citation button for each reference, and an input where the citation button for a specific reference is clicked. It may be a device that receives and expresses citation information of a specific reference by inserting it into a document writer.

Additionally, it may be a computer-readable storage medium on which a program for performing a method of citing a document based on the interface of the citing application according to claim 1 is recorded.

When writing papers or academic journals, it is possible to implement a platform that can insert references that can be cited according to the format of the document being written.

Specifically, it is linked to a database server where papers or academic journals are stored, and when you click the citation button for papers or academic journals on the server's homepage, you can save sources or bibliographic information according to the format of the document you are currently writing.

In addition, by linking with the document writer pre-installed on the user terminal, additional menus can be created to easily cite documents or create bibliographic information (or a list of bibliographic information).

In addition, the citation application can provide citation and management functions for sources as well as note management functions, which will be described below. Through this, source information and note information can be managed in a tree structure, and two data can be linked and citations inserted into the document at the same time.

The database 140 may store data on citations or bibliographic information of references received from the external server 200 (and, in an optional embodiment, a document being created by the user through the document writer 150) may be stored. can.).

Although not shown in FIG. 2, the database for references may be stored in a physically or conceptually separate database (not shown).

In a further embodiment, the database 140 may be omitted and data associated with the reference may be stored in a database on a cloud server or a local server, etc. In this case, another user terminal with access rights to the cloud server or local server may access the cloud server or local server and be granted access to the previously stored reference literature. Through this, you can share data about references with other user terminals or perform actions such as editing.

Figures 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the process of citing references according to an embodiment of the present invention.

At this time, Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the process of installing the citation application, and Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating the process of citing a document.

First, referring to FIG. 3, the citation application 300 may be installed on the user terminal 100 (S101).

At this time, in the process of installing the citation application 300, the document writer 150 pre-installed on the user terminal 100 can be recognized, and the citation application 300 can request access to the recognized document writer 150. There is (S102).

In an optional embodiment, the citation application 300 may recognize the document writer 150 installed on the user terminal 100 after installation is completed. In another optional embodiment, even if a new document writer is installed on the user terminal 100 after the citation application 300 is installed, the citation application 300 may recognize this.

Thereafter, when access rights are provided (S103), the citation application 300 requests the document writer 150 to create an additional menu 160 (S104), and when access rights are accepted, the document writer 150 is connected to the interface. An additional menu 160 linked to the citation application 300 can be created (S105).

At this time, the created additional menu 160 may be created to correspond to the design of the basic additional menu configured in the document writer 150. For example, even if the same selection options are provided, the additional menu 160 created in the document writer 'Hangul' and the additional menu 160 created in the document writer 'MS Word' have different designs, but each It may be formed to match the design of the document writer 150. As an example, the additional menu 160 created in the document writer 'Hangul' may be implemented in the form shown in FIG. 7. Here, the additional menu 160 refers to functions that can be used when retrieving or editing citation information through the document writer 150, such as 'Add citation', 'Rearrange', 'Reformat', and 'References'. It may include buttons for executing functions such as 'create', and these functions will be described in detail later. In addition, the additional menu 160 provides the main functions of the document writer 150, which consists of the main menu (file, edit, view, input, etc.), when the document writer 150 is executed after the citation application 300 is installed. It can be implemented so that it is always displayed at the bottom of the area (meaning the listed area). Alternatively, it may be implemented to appear in the document writer 150 only when citation information is retrieved by clicking the "citation" button on a web browser.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the user terminal 100 can run the web browser 210 (S106).

Thereafter, the user terminal 100 can access the external server 200 through the web browser 210 (S107) and receive a web page from the external server 200 (S108).

At this time, the external server 200 may be a server of a thesis search site that provides a thesis or journal database so that various other people's theses can be searched, searched, and downloaded.

The user terminal 100 connected to the web page can search for references previously stored in the external server 200 through the web page (S109). In other words, users can search for papers (references) they want.

Next, the external server 200 may provide the results of a search for references stored in its database through a web page (S110). At this time, the web page provides a document capture function for at least one reference, and a plurality of references can be listed and provided to the user terminal 100 through the document capture function. This may operate similarly to a conventional shopping cart function or scrap function, and the title, author, and listing date may be displayed to make it easier for users to understand the document.

At this time, the web page provided to the user terminal 100 lists the searched references and provides them to the user terminal 100, and provides a citation button 230 for each reference in the list where the identification information of each reference is displayed. can do.

In addition, when the user terminal 100 clicks (enters) the citation button 230 of a specific reference by the user's operation (S111), the web browser 210 can call the reference based on the Rest API protocol. There is (S112).

Meanwhile, the citation application 300 may store the entire bibliographic information (citation information) of the reference called through the citation button 230 in the user terminal 100 (S113). For example, when a web page is provided to the user terminal 100, information included in the web page (citation information regarding the bibliography of each reference) may be temporarily stored in a buffer within the user terminal 100.

Specifically, in step S113, the information stored in this buffer can permanently store the bibliographic information (citation information) of the called reference in a storage area related to the citation application 300 in the memory. Through this, the citation information 170 of the reference previously stored in the user terminal 100 can be retrieved through the citation application 300 and inserted into the document writer 150.

Additionally, in another optional embodiment, the user terminal 100 may directly access the external server 200 through the citation application 300 and search for references. For example, if there is no web page linked to the external server 200 or if the user wants to work quickly, connect to the external server 200 through the citation application 300 and save the information stored in the external server 200. Searching and listing of references can be performed.

Next, the citation application 300 may insert the citation information of the called reference into the document writer 150 (S114). For example, the citation application 300 may identify the location where the cursor is located within the document writer 150 and insert the citation information of the document in a preset format at the location identified as where the cursor is currently located (S115). . At this time, the preset form can be changed through the 'change form' function in the additional menu, which will be described later.

In addition, in order for the function to be realized, the document writer 150 must be executed in advance and activated in the foreground (displayed on the screen of the user terminal 100) or deactivated in the background (executed but not displayed on the user terminal 100). (not displayed on the screen at 100). If the document writer 150 is deactivated in the background, when the citation button 230 is clicked, the document writer 150 receives the citation information and activates it in the foreground and displays the citation information on the screen. It can be displayed.

At this time, the citation information 170 may be preset through the citation application 300. At this time, the citation information 170 is set to include at least one of the title, summary, author, and creation date of the document in the reference, and the position and paragraph format at which the citation information 170 is inserted on the document writer 150 are set to include. can be set. Additionally, for the user's convenience, the citation application 300 may provide a template for the format of the citation information 170 and a function for editing it.

Meanwhile, when a plurality of documents are being created through the document writer 150, the citation application 300 may insert citation information 170 into the last executed document. Conversely, in another optional embodiment, when a plurality of documents are being created simultaneously, the citation application 300 may insert citation information 170 into all documents at once.

Figure 5 is an example diagram of a web page provided by an external server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Before explaining FIG. 5, the web page is linked to the dictionary of the citation application 300, and various main menus may be provided for searching references such as papers or academic journals. In addition, as an optional embodiment, the functions to be described below correspond to functions added in the process of linking with the citation application 300, but in terms of service provision, the functions may be excluded rather than added.

Additionally, the 'My Library' function shown in the drawing may be an example of an interface for the document list 220 of references that the user wishes to cite or store (collect) separately among the searched references. At this time, the document list 220 has a function of providing brief information (e.g., title, year of publication, author, type of material, etc.) of the collected references, adding new references to the document list 220 or already existing references. Editing functions, such as deleting listed references, and functions to sort or filter by type of reference may be provided.

Meanwhile, a citation button 230 corresponding to each reference may be provided for each reference on the document list 220. If the user inputs the citation button 230 for a specific reference, the citation application 300 inserts the citation information 170 of the reference into the document writer 150 previously executed by the user terminal 100. do.

At this time, the citation button 230 formed in the document list 220 can be activated only when the citation application 300 is installed on the user terminal 100. In a further embodiment, when the citation button 230 is input while the citation application 300 is not installed on the user terminal 100, a warning message indicating that the citation application 300 is not installed or a warning message encouraging installation is provided. Guide messages, etc. may be provided to the user terminal 100.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, the document list 220 may be provided with a bibliographic information editing function 240 for editing citation information 170 of references.

In general, basic citation information 170 can be generated based on basic information of references, but the title, author, publication date, publication page, etc. can be modified through the bibliography editing function 240. You can. In addition, you can edit the reference type, page number, capacity, problems, RIS data, etc. of the bibliography. Based on this function, the bibliographic information editing function 240 can unify citation information 170 for references having different formats.

In a further embodiment, the citation application 300 or the bibliography editing function 240 may cite a plurality of references having different formats, such as newspapers, papers, and academic journals, in a specific document being created through the document writer 150. In this case, the citation application 300 or the bibliographic information editing function 240 can recognize the title, author, etc. from each reference and generate citation information 170 having the same format.

Additionally, the citation information 170 edited through the bibliographic information editing function 240 can be inserted into the document writer 150 through the process of step S130 described above.

Figure 6 is an example diagram showing the configuration of an additional menu 160 created in the document writer 150 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Before explaining this, the interface of the document writer 150 shown in FIG. 6 corresponds to the interface of 'Hangul', and if the document writer 150 is 'MSword', it will be provided in a different form from the interface shown in the drawing. You can. That is, the form of the additional menu 160 created on the document writer 150 through the technology of the present invention does not limit the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the additional menu 160 added to the document writer 150 through the citation application 300 may be configured to have a similar design to the original additional menu of the document writer 150.

At this time, the additional menu 160 may provide options such as 'Add citation', 'Insert citation', 'Change format', 'Citation list', and 'Create reference'.

For example, 'add citation' may be a function for performing a reference search function performed through the existing web browser 210 on the document writer 150.

Additionally, 'rearrange' and 'change format' may be functions for rearranging citation information (170), pictures, tables, etc. inserted in the document currently being written.

Additionally, 'reformat' may be a function for reformatting the citation information 170 into a different citation style.

Additionally, 'reference creation' may be a function for finding references corresponding to the citation information 170 currently cited in the document writer 100 and creating a reference list.

Additionally, 'citation list' may be a function for creating a list of citation information 170 cited in the document being written.

Additionally, 'document for submission' may be a function for removing all special symbols related to citations provided by the citation application 300 before completing the document being written as a final document (manuscript).

Additionally, 'citation insertion' may be a function for presenting a list of bibliographic information and inserting citation information 170 selected by the user into the document being written.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the 'Create Reference List' function to recreate the list of references, the 'Manuscript Template' function to open the template of the citation information (170) to check the editing status, and the 'Manuscript Template' function to check the editing status, The 'Citation Style Creation' function allows you to cite sources according to the citation style of the document being left (this function automatically creates reference styles such as MLA, Chicago, etc., as source citation is important in Western documents). The style is standardized, so it is an essential function.), etc. may be further included.

In addition, the citation information 170 provided in the present invention is cited in accordance with the style set in advance by the user, and can be applied in the form of footnotes, inner notes, numbered notes, and reference lists. For example, in Figure 6, citation information 170a in the form of footnotes and citation information 170b in the form of a reference list are shown, respectively.

Figures 7 to 9 are exemplary diagrams showing the interface of the citation application 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The following description describes an embodiment that can be applied when the citation application 300 is operated as an independently utilized program. That is, the citation application 300 provides citation and management functions for sources and a note management function, which will be described below. Through this, source information and note information can be managed in a tree structure, and citations can be inserted into the document at the same time by linking two materials. At this time, in the following description, the document created by the user through the document writer 150 is referred to as 'project', the reference cited through the external server 200 is referred to as 'note', and the project (document being written) and note ( References) that are organized hierarchically should be named ‘library’ and explained. However, the previously specified words do not limit the functional scope of the invention.

First, FIG. 7 may correspond to an example of a citation interface for managing a project among the functions of the citation application 300.

The form of the citation interface provided by the citation application 300 may be implemented in a form similar to the interface of 'Explorer' provided in 'Windows', one of the conventional OS, and the citation interface is provided in the main menu 310 and document respectively. It may be composed of a management window 320 and a hierarchy window 330.

First, the main menu 310 is for managing cited notes through the external server 200, and stores and loads citation information 170 of references, or displays the source and citation information 170 of citation information 170. At least one function for inserting into the document writer 150 may be provided. For example, the main menu 310 may provide functions such as 'Save', 'Add', 'Source', 'Citation', 'Send', 'Word', 'New Window', and 'Exit'.

First, 'save' may be a function for saving the citation information 170 of the note currently being edited on the user terminal 100.

Second, 'Add' may be a function for adding a note to be used as citation information 170, such as a general document note, picture note, or PDF note, on the user terminal 100.

Third, 'source' may be a function for linking the source of the citation information 170 in the form of a hyperlink on the citation application 300, inserting the source on the project, or linking it as a hyperlink.

Fourth, 'citation' may be a function for inserting preset citation information 170 in the form of citation information 170 into the project currently being created.

Fifth, 'Send' may be a function for inserting an area of the note in the form of citation information 170 into the project currently being written.

Sixth, 'Word' is for executing a preset document writer (150), 'New Window' is for executing one more citation application (300), and 'Exit' is for terminating the executed citation application (300). It may be a function for

Next, the document management window 320 is a window that displays citation information 170 for notes received through the external server 200, such as sources, bibliographic information, and quotations, and the user opens the document management window 320. You can check or edit citation information through.

Next, the hierarchy window 330 is used to manage the library, and displays the documents the user has created or is writing through the document writer 150 and the citation information inserted into the document in a hierarchical structure, or displays them in a hierarchical structure. This may be a function to indicate the type of note to be inserted in the form of a group.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the hierarchy window 330 lists and displays at least one document, and when a specific document is selected, at least one or more citation information included in the specific document is listed and displayed. will be equipped with

Additionally, when a specific document or citation information 170 is selected in the hierarchy window 330, specific information about the selected document or citation information 170 may be displayed in the document management window 320.

At this time, the citation application 300 provides a library management window 340, and notes classified into groups through the hierarchy window 330 can be managed through the library management window 340. For example, the library management window 340 may store or load the citation information 170 of the note in the database 140 of the user terminal 100.

In addition, the library management window 340 may provide a list of notes included in a specific project group, a list of citation information 170 of a specific note, or a list of notes stored in the user terminal 100 (library management window (upper region of (340)). When a user selects a specific note from the list, he or she can edit the citation information 170 of the note (lower area of the library management window 340). Parts to be modified here may include source type, author, title, journal name, publication year, publisher, publication location, etc. In addition, as an optional embodiment, the citation information 170 stored in the user terminal 100 may be exported or exchanged with another user terminal through communication through the library management window 340. For example, specific papers on different topics and references inserted into specific academic journals can be managed by grouping them into the titles of each paper and journal through the library management window 340, and references that become unnecessary within the group can be deleted. You can also do things like add other references to the group.

Next, Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of the search window 350 provided by the citation application 300.

At this time, the search window 350 may provide a function for searching projects or notes stored in the user terminal 100. For example, by entering search conditions in the upper area of the search box 350, the source type of the project or note, author, title, journal name, publication year, publisher, publication location, etc. can be used, and the library You can also search through classified groups or folder names.

Additionally, search results may be listed in the lower area of the search window 350 and provided to the user. At this time, the author, creation date, title, publication name, etc. are briefly provided in the list so that the user can find the desired result.

In other words, the process of citing a document based on the interface provided by the citing application 300 may be as follows.

First, it is possible to search and receive at least one reference stored in the external server 200 through the pre-installed citation application 300.

Next, the citation application 300 may provide a citation button 230 for each reference and receive an input where the citation button 230 of a specific reference is clicked.

Lastly, the citation application 300 inserts and expresses the citation information 170 of a specific reference into the document writer 150.

At this time, in the process of inserting the citation information 170 into the document writer 150, when the citation button 230 is clicked, the citation application 300 saves the citation information 170 of a specific reference as a file in the form of a RIS extension or It is one of the files in the ENW extension format and can be transmitted from the citation application 300 to the document writer 150.

Additionally, the document writer 150 can recognize the file and express the citation information 170 in the form of text according to a preset template.

Here, the user can selectively export items of the citation information 170 to the document writer 150 through the hierarchy window 330. At this time, options may be provided such as 'Export all', 'Export only the current project group', and 'Export only selected records'. For example, 'Export all' exports all records stored in the library of the user terminal 100 through the citation application 300 to the document writer 150, and 'Export only the current project group' exports the currently activated project group. All records belonging to the group are exported to the document writer 150. In addition, the 'Export only selected records' function exports only the citation information 170 selected by the user to the document writer 150.

Meanwhile, in another optional embodiment, the citation application may operate in conjunction with a web browser for searching the Internet. Here, the web browser may include 'Edge', 'Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari', etc., and the citation application may be added to one area of each web browser through the add menu (160) or citation button (230). can be created.

For example, when a user drags part of the searched content through a web browser and enters the citation button 230, the current user terminal 100 inserts the dragged area into the last executed document writer 150. You can. At this time, when setting up a citation application in advance, the citation area as well as the address, title, author, creation date, etc. of the cited page can be inserted into the document writer 150. Here, quotes and sources that are cited and left through a web browser are cited with the citation application 300 coupled to a repository in which the source material is coded, such as an electronic library or web database. For example, since the source information of a paper is coded in advance on the paper DB site, it is not possible to leave a source using the general 'copy and paste' function. However, if a citation application is installed, for the coded source information of the paper, enter the 'citation button (or the conventional copy function)' for the 'citation' generated in the web browser and paste it into MS Word. When inserting is performed, the pre-installed citation application operates, obtains the source information of the paper from the code information of the paper DB site, and copies it as a citation. At this time, the quoted phrase is saved to the PC's clipboard through the copy function, and then the details are retrieved and 'pasted' into MS Word.

Additionally, in another optional embodiment, the citing application may perform citing from a document file, such as a PDF, or an image program. This can be operated in conjunction with a program that can execute document files or image files, and can operate in the same manner as the process described above.

One embodiment of the present invention may also be implemented in the form of a recording medium containing instructions executable by a computer, such as program modules executed by a computer. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer and includes both volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. Additionally, computer-readable media may include computer storage media.
