Summary

This paper concerns the task of determining how a scientific paper relates to previous work it describes and cites. It uses this task to evaluate summaries generated from based on the rhetorical status.

6 groups (with a total of 24 subjects) and 6 experiments were used, where each task was limited to 10 minutes to ensure completion in a 1 hour time frame.

This is part of the 'argumentation zoning' project of Simone Teufel's thesis.
