Summary:A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to provide a ranking of subjects or objects identified as results of a search, where topicality specialization and relative topicality specialization of the objects is computed and considered. The relative topicality specialization of an object is a function of the share of citations for the object matching the query term among all citations for all objects matching the query term. The computation of the topicality specialization and the relative topicality specialization for objects allow the identification of specialized objects for topics without any pre-defined categorization of topics or pre-computation of expertise.
