Welcome to the second edition of the 3C Citation Context Classification shared task based on Influence. This year, we organise this competition as part of the
[Second Workshop on Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) @ NAACL 2021](https://sdproc.org/2021/index.html)
.
The subtask B of the 3C Shared task aims at classifying citations based on their influence. This binary classification problem has the following classes:
INCIDENTAL
INFLUENTIAL
