Hi,

I am looking for a tool or method that can help us identify publication types from citations/references using scripts or AI-based tools. My colleague and I are interested in citation analysis to determine the types of sources used in a discipline, for example, journal articles, review articles, magazine articles, book chapters, books, websites, government documents (Gov Docs), and NGO documents.

One possible method I got so far was using article database APIs, like Scopus, to identify document types, but Scopus seems to track some types but not all. I also heard that a model can be trained using ChatGPT or other generative AI, but I haven't heard how effective it can be.

Any thoughts or suggestions that could lead to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
