Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval 10th Anniversary Workshop Edition
It provides an overview for researchers interested in academic search, but it is incremental as it reviews an existing workshop series without introducing new methods or results.
This paper summarizes the 10-year history and topics of the Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval workshop series, which focuses on academic search at the intersection of Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, and Bibliometrics, and outlines future directions for the series.
The Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval workshop series (BIR) was launched at ECIR in 2014 \cite{MayrEtAl2014} and it was held at ECIR each year since then. This year we organize the 10th iteration of BIR. The workshop series at ECIR and JCDL/SIGIR tackles issues related to academic search, at the crossroads between Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing and Bibliometrics. In this overview paper, we summarize the past workshops, present the workshop topics for 2020 and reflect on some future steps for this workshop series.
