Discovery & tracking
What Is SEIPID Rasad (رصد)?
SEIPID Rasad (رصد) is the human- and AI-assisted citation discovery and tracking system within the SEIPID infrastructure. It examines registered records and references, integrates external scholarly data, and uses web crawling and search-assisted discovery to identify and track citation connections.
Rasad identifies citing works and connects them with the relevant registered outputs, maintaining those connections and their available source information over time. SEIPID Idraak uses this connected evidence to present scholarly metrics and analysis.

On NiD and SEIPID citation pages, source labels show whether the citing work is in the SEIPID Registry; otherwise, it is labelled SEIPID Rasad.
What Sources and Citation Evidence Does SEIPID Rasad Use?
SEIPID Rasad (رصد) draws on registered references, external scholarly data and web discovery to identify citation connections. Available bibliographic information helps connect a citing work with the registered output it references.
External Scholarly Sources and Databases
Scholarly data integration brings together available work descriptions, identifiers, references and citation relationships from external sources. These records extend discovery across scholarly collections beyond the Registry.
Web Discovery
Web crawling and search-assisted discovery locate scholarly pages, publication records and available reference information. This evidence helps Rasad identify citing works and trace their connections to registered outputs.
How Is a Citation Connection Established?
Rasad uses available identifiers and bibliographic details to identify the citing and cited works and establish the reference between them. It tracks the established connection and its available source information for analysis through SEIPID Idraak.
- Work identifiers
- SEIPIDs, DOIs and available record or source links help identify a specific scholarly work.
- Bibliographic details
- Titles, contributors and publication details help relate citation evidence to the correct record.
- Citation evidence
- Reference information connects the citing work to the registered output it cites.
Why Can Citation Counts Differ Between Services?
Different source coverage, reference matching, update timing and comparison settings can produce different citation counts for the same scholarly work.
Source Coverage
Services may include different scholarly collections, publication types and available reference lists. A citing work present in one collection may not yet appear in another.
Reference Matching
Differences in identifiers, titles or other publication details affect whether a reference can be connected to a particular work. Services may establish those matches differently.
Discovery and Update Timing
Newly discovered works, newly available references and corrected records enter services at different times. Comparing counts captured at different update points can produce different totals.
Periods and Citation Exclusions
In SEIPID Idraak, the selected date range and citation-exclusion filters affect the displayed analysis. Compare equivalent periods and settings across services.
How Does SEIPID Rasad Keep Citation Connections Up to Date?
SEIPID Rasad (رصد) discovers and tracks citation evidence as scholarly records, references and external source information become available or change. Established connections provide the evidence used in SEIPID Idraak analysis.
New Citation Evidence
Discovery identifies newly available citing works and reference information across the Registry and external scholarly sources, connecting them with the relevant registered outputs.
Updated References and Metadata
Available changes to identifiers, reference lists and publication details help maintain the identity of citing works and their connections to cited outputs.
Corrections and Feedback
Corrections to scholarly records and reports of missing or incorrect citation information support review of the evidence associated with a connection.
Tracked Source Information
Rasad maintains established citation connections with their available bibliographic and source information, supporting the citation views and analysis presented through SEIPID Idraak.
What Does Human- and AI-Assisted Discovery Mean?
SEIPID Rasad combines human contributions with automated and AI-assisted discovery to identify and track scholarly citation connections.
Scholarly Information and Feedback
People contribute registered metadata, references and citation evidence through authorised registration and management tools. Logged-in users can also report missing or incorrect information and provide supporting source links for review.
Discovery, Identification and Tracking
Scholarly data integration, web crawling and search-assisted methods support discovery across available sources. These methods help identify citing works, relate reference information to registered outputs and track established citation connections.
Rasad brings this evidence together as citation connections. SEIPID Idraak uses those connections to present scholarly metrics, analysis and insights.
