THE PROGRAMME COMMITTEE cordially invites all researchers (European and non-European) to submit their papers in all areas related to the above for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2018 . Papers must be submitted in PDF format, using the LNCS style (available at ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip) and should have a maximum of 10 pages, including references but excluding a possible appendix in which one can make available proofs and other additional material. Papers building bridges between different parts of the research community are particularly welcome. The CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS will be published by LNCS, Springer Verlag. INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS: ======================= Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, in addition to the formal presentations based on the LNCS proceedings volume, CiE 2018 will host a track of informal presentations, that are prepared very shortly before the conference and inform the participants about current research and work in progress. The deadline for the submission of abstracts for informal presentations is April 20, 2018. WOMEN IN COMPUTABILITY: ======================= We are very happy to announce that within the framework of the Women in Computability programme, sponsored by ACM-Women, we are able to offer four grants of up to 250 EUR for junior female researchers who want to participate in CiE 2018. Applications for this grant should be sent to Liesbeth De Mol, liesbeth.demol at univ-lille3.fr, before 15 May 2018 and include a short cv (at most 2 pages) and contact information for an academic reference.

Bibliometric techniques are not yet widely used to enhance retrieval processes, yet they offer value-added effects for users. Our interests include information retrieval, information seeking, science modelling, network analysis, and natural language processing. The goal is to apply insights from bibliometrics, scientometrics, and informetrics to concrete practical problems of information retrieval and browsing. See proceedings of the former BIR workshops at ECIR 2014 , ECIR 2015 , ECIR 2016 , ECIR 2017 , JCDL 2016 and SIGIR 2017 . Retrieval evaluations have shown that simple text-based retrieval methods scale up well but do not progress. Traditional retrieval has reached a high level in terms of measures like precision and recall, but scientists and scholars still face challenges present since the early days of digital libraries: mismatches between search terms and indexing terms, overload from result sets that are too large and complex, and the drawbacks of text-based relevance rankings. Therefore we will focus on statistical modelling and corresponding visualizations of the evolving science system. Such analyses have revealed not only the fundamental laws of Bradford and Lotka, but also network structures and dynamic mechanisms in scientific production. Statistical models of scholarly activities are increasingly used to evaluate specialties, to forecast and discover research trends, and to shape science policy. Their use as tools in navigating scientific information in search systems is a promising but still relatively new development. We will explore how statistical modelling of scholarship can improve retrieval services for specific communities, as well as for large, cross-domain collections. Some of these techniques are already used in working systems but not well integrated in larger scholarly IR environments. The availability of new IR test collections that contain citation and bibliographic information like the iSearch collection or the ACL collection could deliver enough ground to interest (again) the IR community in these kind of bibliographic systems. The long-term research goal is to develop and evaluate new approaches based on informetrics and bibliometrics. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different domains, such as information retrieval, information seeking, science modelling, bibliometrics, scientometrics, network analysis, natural language processing, digital libraries, and approaches to visualize search and retrieval to move toward a deeper understanding of this research challenge. === Workshop Topics === To support the previously described goals the workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - IR for digital libraries and scientific information portals - IR for scientific domains, e.g. social sciences, life sciences etc. - Information Seeking Behaviour - Bibliometrics, citation analysis and network analysis for IR - Query expansion and relevance feedback approaches - Science Modelling (both formal and empirical) - Task based user modelling, interaction, and personalisation - (Long-term) Evaluation methods and test collection design - Collaborative information handling and information sharing - Classification, categorisation and clustering approaches - Information extraction (including topic detection, entity and relation extraction) - Recommendations based on explicit and implicit user feedback - Recommendation for scholarly papers, reviewers, citations and publication venues - (Social) Book Search - Information extraction (including topic detection, entity and relation extraction) 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 Springer LNCS author guidelines (6 to 12 pages) and should be submitted as PDF files to EasyChair. All submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Please be aware of the fact that at least one author per paper needs to register for the workshop and attend the workshop to present the work. In case of no-show the paper (even if accepted) will be deleted from the proceedings AND from the program. Springer LNCS: EasyChair: Workshop proceedings will be deposited online in the CEUR workshop proceedings publication service (ISSN 1613-0073) - This way the proceedings will be permanently available and citable (digital persistent identifiers and long term preservation).

Here is a list of posts that I've put up based on discussions at STI 2017: 1. Short history of research impact Pt 1 of keynote address by Ismael Rafols 2. Rafols' proposal for "indicators in the wild" Pt 2 of his keynote address 3. History of S&T indicators Pt 1 of keynote address by R?mi Barr? 4. Future of S&T indicators Pt 2 of Barr?'s keynote address 5. Update on altmetrics Highlights from two full sessions on the topic I hope that these posts prove interesting and valuable for you, and look forward to further discussion.

Her remarks sparked a lot of controversy about religious neutrality of the state, technocracy, and so forth. At a broader level, her address created friction because it echoes a serious challenge in contemporary society: striking a balance between a pluralistic society and a (supposedly) univocal science. In my blog post this week, I analyze the Governor General's remarks, and sketch out what this harmonisation might take. How can science be a rallying point for society when so much of society is unscientific? http://www.sciencemetrics.org/is-non-science-non-sense/?utm_source=ASISTEuro Best wishes, Brooke Brooke Struck, Ph.D. Policy Analyst | Analyste des politiques Science-Metrix 1335, Mont-Royal E Montr?al, QC H2J 1Y6 Canada [http://1science.com/images/LinkedIn_sign.png][http://1science.com/images/Twitter_sign.png] T. 1.514.495.6505 x.117 T. 1.800.994.4761 x.117 F. 1.514.495.6523 brooke.struck at science-metrix.com www.science-metrix.com [sm15-left] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
