Abstract
Resolving correct citations can be a time-consuming task for research writers. We address local citation recommendation (LCR), where the goal is to retrieve appropriate references for a given sentence. Web tools generally depend on the existing citation graph, which may bias results toward citation count or more recent publications. LCR research using full paper texts has been limited by the lack of publicly available data. We present a new dataset, the Local Citation Recommendation Corpus (LCRC), containing 14,735 scientific statements derived from astrophysics review papers, each with one or more citation targets whose full text is accessible via API. Using this dataset we systematically compare retrieval methods and develop a citation recommendation system that avoids citation graph bias while achieving 8.0% improvement in Recall@25 and 6.9% improvement in NDCG@25 over dense retrieval baselines without model fine-tuning. To support reproducibility, we make our code and dataset publicly available.
