Modify or adapt eyecite to detect antique citations, etc. #35

Closed lmullen closed 2 years ago

lmullen commented 2 years ago

eyecite is very promising for detecting citations. However, it has at least two problems for historical research.

  1. Antique reporters (e.g., 1 Kelly = 1 Ga.) are not detected.
  2. Variations in abbreviations (e.g. Oreg. = Or.) are not always detected.

We need to propose changes to eyecite.
