Submissions should discuss, but are not limited to, the following topics • Construction of scholarly information access systems for tasks such as search, recommendation, or conversational information access, e.g., • Chatting with papers via chatbots • Bibliometric-enhanced IR • Finding relevant papers/authors for a literature review • Identifying expert reviewers for a given submission • Information extraction, text mining and parsing of scholarly literature • Recommendation of citations based on the context • Discourse modelling and argument mining • Retrieval-augmented Generation for LLM-enhanced academic search and recommendation • Challenges and opportunities for scholarly information access coming from GenAI and LLMs. • Evaluation of scholarly information access systems, e.g., • Quantification of the suitability of the output produced by an LLM • Evaluation challenges of generative AI and LLMs for scholarly texts and references • Simulated users. • User Models and Collections, e.g., • Understanding information-seeking behaviour and HCI in academic search • Modelling the multifaceted nature of scientific information interaction • Building test collections. • Pre- and Post-Publication Quality Insurance and Scientific Integrity, e.g., • Filtering high-quality research papers, e.g., in preprint servers • Tracking and taming error propagation in the scientific record or scientific misbehaviour • Detecting "Fake Science", low quality or automatically generated papers • Measuring the degree of plagiarism in a paper • Flagging predatory conferences and journals. 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.
