Report on the 8th International Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR 2019)
This is an incremental workshop report for researchers and practitioners in information retrieval and bibliometrics.
This paper reports on the 8th International Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR 2019), which addressed challenges in academic search at the intersection of Information Retrieval and Bibliometrics, highlighting its relevance to both academic and industry applications.
The Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval workshop series (BIR) at ECIR tackled issues related to academic search, at the crossroads between Information Retrieval and Bibliometrics. BIR is a hot topic investigated by both academia (e.g., ArnetMiner, CiteSeerx, DocEar) and the industry (e.g., Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, Semantic Scholar). This report presents the 8th iteration of the one-day BIR workshop held at ECIR 2019 in Cologne, Germany.
