We propose a new method to find related papers using an input paper and its hyperlinked citation relationships rather than keywords. Such related papers are especially useful as background reading for researchers new to a research field. In this paper we introduce the background reading paper extractor (BPE), and show various properties of academic paper references. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.3.7 [Information Storage and Retrieval]: Digital Libraries collection; H.5.4 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Hypertext/Hypermedia - navigation. General Terms Algorithms, Measurement, Experimentation Keywords Hyperlink, Paper References
