Annotated corpora are scarce. Privacy rules such as GDPR block the sharing of real case material. Regulations like the EU AI Act constrain the use of large hosted LLMs. To address this, the authors build a synthetic… 2. **[UniCite: A Dataset and Unified Hierarchical Taxonomy for Multi-Dimensional Citation Analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mourky-2026-unicite-dataset-unified-hierarchical-taxonomy/)** *(2026)* Citation Context Analysis (CCA) is fragmented. Competing taxonomies range from three to more than twelve classes and have no mappings between them. Function, sentiment and importance are usually modelled in isolation, and most benchmarks cover papers from before 2019.
