Crystal: Characterizing Relative Impact of Scholarly Publications

arXiv:2603.26791v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Assessing a cited paper's impact is typically done by analyzing its citation context in isolation within the citing paper. While this focuses on the most directly relevant text, it prevents relative comparisons across all the works a paper cites. We propose Crystal, which instead jointly ranks all cited papers within a citing paper using large language models (LLMs).
