Book Chapter Description

In this paper we propose several new measures to characterize sets of scientific papers that provide an overview of a scientific topic. We present a study in which experts were asked to name such papers for one of their areas of expertise and apply the measures to characterize the paper selections. The results are compared to the measured values for random paper selections. We find that the expert selected sets of papers can be characterized to have a moderately high diversity, moderately high coverage and each paper in the set has on average a high prototypicality.
