=== 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 (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.
- Generative AI and Large Language Models with bibliometric-enhanced IR, such as:
- Retrieval-augmented LLMs for academic search and recommendation.
- LLM-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.
