“All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation conventions vary because of the different needs of scholarly disciplines.

“Exploiting Social Networks for Internet Search”
“This paper makes three contributions: First, we com- pare the mechanisms for content publication and loca- tion in the Web and online social networks. We argue that search techniques could benefit from integrating the different mechanisms used to find relevant content in the Web and social networks. Second, we present re- sults from an experiment in social network-based Web search to support our contention. Third, we outline the research challenges and opportunities in leveraging so- cial networks for future Internet search.” -
