The workshop is planned as an onsite event. We encourage all speakers to join 
us in Glasgow (UK).

 

=== Important Dates ===
All dates are in Anywhere on Earth – AoE Time Zone

=== tl;dr ===

The Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR) workshop series at ECIR 
tackles issues related to academic search, at the intersection between 
Information Retrieval and Bibliometrics. BIR is a hot topic investigated by 
both academia and industry (e.g., Dimensions, Lens, Google Scholar, scite.ai, 
Semantic Scholar). The BIR workshop at ECIR is a full-day workshop.

 

An overview of the BIR/BIRNDL workshop series can be found at: 
https://sites.google.com/view/bir-ws/home. Past BIR proceedings are available 
online at https://dblp.org/search?q=BIR.ECIR as open access.

 

=== Keywords ===

Academic Search • Information Retrieval • Digital Libraries • Bibliometrics • 
Scientometrics

 

=== Workshop Topics ===

During BIR 2024, we address, but are not limited to, the following current 
research topics regarding 4 aspects of the academic search and recommendation 
process:

 
User needs and behaviour regarding scientific information, such as:

        Finding relevant papers/authors for a literature review.

        Identifying expert reviewers for a given submission.

        Understanding information-seeking behaviour and HCI in academic search.

        Filtering high-quality research papers, e.g., in preprint servers.

        Measuring the degree of plagiarism in a paper.

        Flagging predatory conferences and journals, or other forms of 
scientific misbehaviour.


Mining the scientific literature, such as:

        Information extraction, text mining and parsing of scholarly literature.

        Natural language processing of scientific papers (e.g., citation 
contexts).

        Discourse modelling and argument mining.


Academic search/recommendation systems, such as:

        Modelling the multifaceted nature of scientific information.

        Building test collections for reproducible BIR.

        System support for literature search and recommendation.

        Computational methods for systematic reviewing.


Generative AI and Large Language Models with bibliometric-enhanced IR, such as:

        Retrieval-augmented LLMs for academic search and recommendation.

        LM-enhanced retrieval and recommendation in scholarly settings.

        Challenges with generative LLMs for scholarly texts and references.

 

We especially invite descriptions of running projects and ongoing work as well 
as contributions from industry. Papers that investigate multiple themes 
directly are especially welcome.

 

=== Submission Details ===

All submissions must be written in English following the CEURART 1-column paper 
style (6 pages (short paper), 12 pages (full paper)/, please see below) and 
should be submitted as PDF files to EasyChair. All submissions will be reviewed
