A framework for extraction of journal information from scientific publishers web site

Abstract

World Wide Web is a huge repository of information and the information is presented in the disparate formats which make automated processing a cumbersome task. Search engines are used to query the WWW. Students and scholars find it difficult to determine the appropriate journals for the research article publication since performing a keyword search using search engines like Google, Yahoo etc. presents them with a list of publication site where the user need to click through a series of link to reach the journal web site and go through the details of the journals like Impact Factor, SNIP etc. manually. Suppose if a publication web site is linked to hundreds of journal web sites matching the user's topic of interest, it poses a serious problem on part of the user to manually determine the most reputed journal for the publication of his/her research article. This paper proposes a framework for extraction of Journal information in a single interaction with the system.
