1. A system configured to perform analytics to facilitate determining documents comprising: at least one computer-readable storage medium on which a database management system is stored and configured to access an index of metadata corresponding to a set of content items in a corpora of electronically stored content; at least one sub-system configured to generate at least one interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on a computer-based visual sub-system; at least one sub-system configured to receive a query request entered by a user in said interactive GUI; and a computer machine configured to receive said query as computer machine input; automatically determine at least one concept contained within said query; automatically normalize said at least one concept contained within said query thus creating at least one normalized concept; automatically compare said at least one normalized concept to a set of document centric concept profiles associated with said set of content items in said corpora, wherein each document centric concept profile of said plurality of document centric concept profiles comprises a plurality of normalized concepts, and for each concept, at least one reference value corresponding to said plurality of normalized concepts; and automatically surface a set of documents, comprising at least one first document, matching at least one normalized concept of an individual document centric concept profile of said plurality of document centric concept profiles to said at least one normalized concept of said query via said GUI wherein said set of documents are ranked according to a reference value assigned to each document for a normalized concept.

A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said reference value associated with said first document, for said normalized concept, is calculated by counting how many times a second document cited to said first document for a reason for citation matching said normalized concept.
