SmealSearch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SmealSearch is a web portal, search engine and digital library for academic business documents hosted at the eBusiness Research Center at the Pennsylvania State University that was initially based on the CiteSeer digital library and search engine technology (see CiteSeer for more details). It has been enhanced and modified by Lee Giles (project director), Yang Sun (current technical lead), Sandip Debnath, Isaac Councill, Arvind Rangaswamy, Nirmal Pal, Yves Petinot and Pradeep Teregowda.
SmealSearch intelligently crawls and harvests academic business documents on the web and uses autonomous citation indexing to permit querying by citation or by document. Currently, it is publicly available on the World Wide Web at the Smeal College of Business, Pennsylvania State University, and has over 150,000 documents, primarily in the fields of business, e-business and related areas. The goal is to have the document collection continuously grow. SmealSearch also harvests business school information from the web and is currently creating a large database of business schools from around the world. SmealSearch's goals are to assist students, professors, researchers and others with business related research and other information needs.
SmealSearch grew from and consumed a similar search engine, eBizSearch, designed to harvest and index academic documents related to e-business.
