According to a study conducted by Kaare Jensen at the Technical University of Denmark, the most dangerous type of paper for causing paper cuts is approximately 65 micrometers thick. Jensen and his colleagues tested various types of paper, including tissue paper, print magazines, office paper, book pages, business cards, and printed photos, to determine their ability to cut human skin. They found that paper of this thickness, commonly used for dot matrix printers and printed scientific journals, is not so thin that it buckles upon contact, but not so thick that its impact is blunted. The researchers even created a recyclable knife, called the "Papermachete," with a blade made from scrap paper of this thickness. [Extracted from the article]

As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand, concerns arise about a potential surge in irrelevant scientific papers, with increasing AI-assisted writing potentially challenging citation metrics and peer review processes. This shift highlights the need to rethink evaluation methods, focusing more on impactful problem-solving rather than just publication quantity.

Extraneous growth of scientific information over the Internet makes the searching task non-trivial and as a consequence researchers are facing difficulties in finding relevant papers from the millions of research papers in digital repositories. The research paper recommendation systems have been advocated to address this problem. The existing research paper recommendation systems lack in exploiting prominent information of papers, such as relevancy with the current time, novelty, scientific contribution, writing complexity of the papers, etc. Further, the existing models emphasize only on user's preference rather than user's intention that may change with time. Furthermore, the existing models do not consider a sound ranking strategy to unleash the personalization aspect and relevancy of papers. This work aims to address the existing limitations and proposes a systematic hidden attribute-based recommendation engine (SHARE). SHARE utilizes a feature engineering technique to unfold valuable insights of papers through multiple hidden features. These features are used as a context for users as well as multiple criteria for ranking papers. Additionally, SHARE predicts a user's intention beyond the user's preference to capture the dynamic notion of a user. Finally, a novel ranking strategy is proposed to retrieve personalized and the most important papers. SHARE is flexible for recommending both old and new users. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of SHARE both user studies and system evaluations were performed. Experimental results substantiate the efficacy of the proposed approach and are comparable to the existing systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
