You are invited to participate in the 23rd Nordic Workshop on
Bibliometrics and Research Policy, November 8-9 with an adjoining
pre-workshop on the theme of ‘Bibliometrics in the Library’ taking place
on November 7 at the University of Borås, Borås, Sweden.
 
Participants who wish to present a research paper or a poster are kindly
asked to submit a 250-word abstract of their presentation. We welcome
novel ideas or work-in-progress of interest to a Nordic audience and
this year we especially encourage papers with a research policy
perspective. You can offer either a paper or a poster. Due to
limitations in the program the scientific committee may suggest that
paper submissions should be given as posters. Papers will be presented
orally at the workshop (ca. 20 min.), while posters will be showcased in
a poster booster session followed by a free-form discussion. The posters
will be on display in the hallways of the workshop site.
 
We also welcome scholarly and professional papers on the pre-workshop
topic ‘Bibliometrics in the Library’. Please indicate if you are
interested in presenting at the thematic workshop.
 
Deadline for submission of abstracts is the 1st of September 2018.
The authors will be notified of acceptance by the 30th of September
2018.
 
Send your abstracts (in word or rtf format) to: nwb2018 at hb.se.


Participation to the workshop is free. Travel and accommodation have to
be arranged and financed by the participants themselves.
