Background of the Study
The exponential growth in academic research outputs has made the classification and organization of research papers increasingly complex. At the University of Abuja, FCT, traditional methods of classifying research papers, which rely on manual categorization and keyword searches, are often inefficient and prone to error. Machine learning-based classification systems offer a promising solution by automating the categorization process through advanced algorithms that analyze textual content, metadata, and citation networks (Ibrahim, 2023). These systems utilize techniques such as natural language processing and supervised learning to accurately assign research papers to predefined categories based on their content and context (Chinwe, 2024). By streamlining the classification process, such systems not only improve the efficiency of information retrieval but also facilitate better organization of research repositories, making it easier for scholars to locate relevant literature. Furthermore, automated classification can adapt over time as new research trends emerge, ensuring that the system remains current and relevant (Adebayo, 2023). Despite these benefits, the implementation of machine learning-based classification systems faces challenges including the need for high-quality training data, issues related to algorithmic transparency, and the potential for misclassification due to ambiguous or interdisciplinary research content. This study aims to develop a robust research paper classification system tailored for the University of Abuja, comparing its performance with traditional methods and offering recommendations to improve accuracy and user accessibility (Chinwe, 2024; Adebayo, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
The University of Abuja currently struggles with organizing its ever-growing repository of research papers using traditional classification methods that are labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracies. Manual classification methods lead to inconsistencies and delays in categorizing new research, thereby hindering efficient retrieval of scholarly works (Ibrahim, 2023). Although machine learning-based classification systems provide a potential solution by automating the process, their implementation is challenged by several factors. High-quality, annotated datasets are required to train these systems effectively, and the absence of such data can result in poor performance and misclassification (Chinwe, 2024). Additionally, the complexity of academic language and the interdisciplinary nature of many research papers further complicate the classification process. There is also a concern regarding the transparency of machine learning models, as stakeholders demand clear explanations for how papers are categorized. Without addressing these challenges, the university may not fully benefit from the efficiencies offered by automated systems, leaving the current manual system in place despite its limitations. This study seeks to address these issues by developing a machine learning-based research paper classification system, evaluating its accuracy, and identifying strategies to mitigate misclassification and improve model transparency (Adebayo, 2023).
Objectives of the Study:
• To develop a machine learning-based system for classifying research papers.
• To evaluate its accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional classification methods.
• To recommend strategies for improving data quality and model transparency.
Research Questions:
• How effective is the machine learning-based system in accurately classifying research papers?
• What are the limitations of traditional classification methods?
• How can data quality and model transparency be improved in automated classification?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it investigates the potential of machine learning to automate and enhance research paper classification at the University of Abuja. The findings will inform strategies for improving research organization, accessibility, and retrieval, ultimately contributing to more efficient academic research practices (Ibrahim, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study is limited to research paper classification at the University of Abuja, FCT.
