Web pages have a great importance, especially today with the rise of technology. This paper describes the PageRank method, used for rating web pages, basically measuring the human relevance of the web page for the content it contains. We use PageRank to rank the 10 most important citations found in 20 Software Testing research papers. We show how to get the citation text you need and use PageRank to rank the citation titles by occurrence.
The Internet creates lots of difficulty and challenges for retrieving information from web pages. It is huge, containing over 200 million web pages with many more appearing every day. Compounding the matter is the fact that web pages are very distinct in content, ranging from puppies to scientific papers

From there, I will sort the Hash Map count values in decreasing order, and print only the 10 most common values, with their corresponding title.
To create the program, written in Java, I followed a list of steps to read the citations for all 20 of the research papers. First, I downloaded all 20 of the Software Testing research papers as PDFs, and saved them in my program’s local directory. Then, using Apache PDFBox library, I read each of the papers as a string. We’re only focused on the paper citations, so I took a substring of the paper string, which only included citation text found after the “References” keyword.
To get each citation title, I had to create a unique String Regex, based on the paper’s citation format, that only contained text found between 2 characters. This was hard to accomplish for all 20 research papers, due to each paper having varying citation formats. For some papers, the citation titles were enclosed in double quotes, and the rest had different formats which made capturing the citation title text very difficult. For the research paper’s where I was able to extract the citation title text, I counted all the occurrences of each title string and saved the titles and occurrence counts in a Hash Map. From there, I sorted the Hash Map by occurrence values in decreasing order, printing only the 10 most frequent. Due to not
Launched on 15 January 2001, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that uses the web platform for online users to access. Boasting with over 26 million pieces of writing in 285 languages, Wikipedia has transformed to be a giant in the field of search engines optimization technology. The open source concept that it rides have made it cheap to access and a better choice for many online users. This is especially among the users who find it cumbersome to follow prolonged registration processes to access information on the internet. Any search term queried on the Google™ home page search engine will definitely give a hit from the Wikipedia site, and if not present, a prompt will request the user to create a page for such a term. In this way,
The Case of Expatriate Failure Rates” by Anne-Wil Harzing, and it was published by the Journal of Organizational Behavior in February 2002. This paper focuses on utilizing the case of expatriate failure rates to demonstrate how erroneous references are prevalent, and how they affect the credibility of the academic world. The second article I chose is “How citation distortions create unfounded authority: analysis of citation network” by Steven Greenberg. It was published by BMJ: British Medical Journal in July 2009. The main point of this study is to “understand how a belief system shared by the scientific community evolves from data across papers”(210). Greenberg accomplished this by analyzing how citations are used to distort the actual results. The last article I looked at was “The Psychology of Regering in Psychology Journal Articles” by Martin Safer and Rong Tang, and it was published by Perspectives on Psychological Sciences in January 2009. This article is studying the amount of importance that psychologists place on each citation, and it suggests more effective citation techniques. Overall, these articles are considered to be part of the psychology and biology
The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive
Use EasyBib or Son of Citation Machine to create MLA citations for each of your sources from Gathering Information Worksheet: Part One.
Where do you find scholarly articles that you read on a regular basis? Search a scholarly database such as CINAHL, which is available in the CCN online library.
I could have use some of other site that google would have shown me. Most sites though don’t have the source citation at the bottom of the page or article. This site I used was a database from my school so I would believe they would give us the best sites but next time I should use other sites to find information that the site might not have. This site has credibility, and tells you where it came from, when it was published, and who’s it from .
For this assignment, I was allowed to improvise on a provided base code to develop a functioning web crawler. The web crawler needed to accept a starting URL and then develop a URL frontier queue of “out links” to be further explored. The crawler needed to track the number of URLs and stop adding them once the queue had reached 500 links. The crawler needed to also extract text and remove HTML tags and formatting. The assignment instructions offered using the BeautifulSoup module to achieve those goals, which I chose to do. Finally, the web crawler program needed to report metrics including the number of documents (web pages), the number of tokens extracted and processed, and the number of unique terms added to the term dictionary.
Train your eye to notice where periods, commas, and semicolons are used in citations. For example, do not use semicolons between parallel citations (B18.1.2).
Include at least one in-text citation (Simon, Melanie, Josh Finebit, and Jason Hanson, Nov 29, 2017)
These articles can be accessed through your library’s database and some can even be found online. These sources typically conduct a research experiment with a pronounced thesis typically at the bottom of the introduction paragraph that explains the research experiment. Various subheadings exist to help transition from ideas including: methods, procedure, results, discussion, etc. Not all scholarly articles do conduct research but even still, I have observed many will still use subheadings to format. When incorporating sources, I have noticed that scholarly articles tend to include many sources and include a works cited list. When dissecting the works cited list, I was able to find from the many scholarly articles I have read in this field that many sources will come from

The DeVry book entitled, Rules of Thumb – A Guide for Writers, should be consulted for information on using APA style to cite references and sources of research information. A sample shell script project paper for you to use as a guide can be found in the “Doc Sharing” tab of iOptimize.
The Internet is vast. To the casual user, the Internet represents the collection of those websites accessible via search engines such as Google or Bing. Search engines function by utilization of a web crawler which locates and indexes linked pages that are then provided as search results when it meets a particular search’s criteria. But, those web crawlers are only able to identify static pages, leaving out the dynamic pages of the deep web. Imagine a commercial fishing trawler on the open ocean pulling in its catch. The trawler only gathers fish from just barely below the surface and misses the massive
