In recent years, new digital technologies are being used to support the navigation and the analysis of scientific publications, justified by the increasing number of articles published every year. For this reason, experts make use of on-line systems to browse thousands of articles in search of relevant information. In this paper, we present a new method that automatically assigns meanings to references on the basis of the citation text through a Natural Language Processing pipeline and a slightly-supervised clustering process. The resulting network of semantically-linked articles allows an informed exploration of the research panorama through semantic paths. The proposed approach has been validated using the ACL Anthology Dataset containing several thousands of papers related to the Computational Linguistics field. A manual evaluation on the extracted citation meanings carried to very high levels of accuracy. Finally, a freely-available web-based application has been developed and published on-line.
