["Mayr-Schlegel, Philipp" <Philipp.Mayr-Schlegel@xxxxxxxxx>]

== First Call for Papers ==
You are invited to participate in the upcoming workshop on Mining Scientific 
Papers: Computational Linguistics and Bibliometrics, to be held as part of thed 
15th International Society of Scientometrics and Informetrics Conference 
(ISSI-2015, http://www.issi2015.org).

=== Important Dates ===
- Submission deadline: 15 April 2015

=== Scope and Aim of the Workshop ===
The open access movement in scientific publishing and search engines like 
Google Scholar have made scientific articles more broadly accessible. During 
the last decade, the availability of scientific papers in full text has become 
more and more widespread thanks to the growing number of publications on online 
platforms such as ArXiv and CiteSeer. The efforts to provide articles in 
machine-readable formats and the rise of Open Access publishing have resulted 
in a number of standardized formats for scientific papers (such as NLM-JATS, 
TEI, DocBook), full-text datasets for research experiments (PubMed, JSTOR, 
etc.) and corpora (iSearch, etc.). At the same time, research in the field of 
Natural Language Processing have provided a number of open source tools for 
versatile text processing (e.g. NLTK, Mallet, OpenNLP, CoreNLP, Gate, 
CiteSpace).

Scientific papers are highly structured texts and display specific properties 
related to their references but also argumentative and rhetorical structure. 
Recent research in this field has concentrated on the construction of 
ontologies for citations and scientific articles (e.g. CiTO, LinkedScience1) 
and studies of the distribution of references . However, up to now full-text 
mining efforts are rarely used to provide data for bibliometric analyses. While 
bibliometrics traditionally relies on the analysis of metadata of scientific 
papers (see e.g. a recent special issue on Combining Bibliometrics and 
Information Retrieval, Mayr & Scharnhorst, 2015), we will explore the ways 
full-text processing of scientific papers and linguistic analyses can play. 
With this workshop we like to discuss novel approaches and provide insights 
into scientific writing that can bring new perspectives to understand both the 
nature of citations and the nature of scientific articles. The possibility to 
enrich metadata by the full-text processing of papers offers new fields of 
application to bibliometrics studies.
Working with full text allows us to go beyond metadata used in bibliometrics. 
Full text offers a new field of investigation, where the major problems arise 
around the organization and structure of text, the extraction of information 
and its representation on the level of metadata. Furthermore, the study of 
contexts around in-text citations offers new perspectives related to the 
semantic dimension of citations. The analyses of citation contexts and the 
semantic categorization of publications will allow us to rethink co-citation 
networks, bibliographic coupling and other bibliometric techniques.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers in bibliometrics and 
computational linguistics in order to study the ways bibliometrics can benefit 
from large-scale text analytics and sense mining of scientific papers, thus 
exploring the interdisciplinarity of Bibliometrics and Natural Language 
Processing. How can we enhance author network analysis and bibliometrics using 
data obtained by text analytics? What insights can NLP provide on the structure 
of scientific writing, on citation networks, and on in-text citation analysis?


=== Workshop Topics ===
Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Linguistic modeling and discourse analysis for scientific texts
- User interfaces, text representations and visualizations
- Structure of scientific articles (discourse / argumentative / rhetorical / 
social)
- Scientific corpora and paper standards
- Act of citations, in-text citations and Content Citation Analysis
- Co-citation and bibliographic coupling
- Text enhanced bibliographic coupling
- Terminology extraction
- Text mining and information extraction
- Scientific information retrieval
- Ontological descriptions of scientific content
- Knowledge extraction

The workshop will involve research project reports, system demonstrations and a 
panel discussion on the perspectives for the development of new text analytics 
approaches for bibliometrics.

=== Submission Details ===
All submissions must be written in English following ISSI 2015 Template for 
Research in Progress Paper Manuscripts (up to 6 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.
