Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for improving the quality and durability of citations used within research documents. A method and apparatus may be sued to enhance the ability of researches to collaborate (or to simply be alerted) when the substance of a reference cited in one research document changes in a way that may conflict with how that reference is used in the citing document. For example, changes in cited reference may undermine (or enhance) the conclusions of a research paper stored in the managed repository.
