TL;DR
This workshop introduces the integration of bibliometric techniques into information retrieval to enhance digital library services, aiming to bridge the gap between IR and scientometrics for improved scholarly information access.
Contribution
It advocates for applying bibliometric methods like Bradfordizing and network analysis to improve retrieval in digital libraries, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
Findings
Increased awareness of bibliometric methods in IR
Potential for improved retrieval services using bibliometrics
Encourages integration of bibliometrics into digital library interfaces
Abstract
This first "Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval" (BIR 2014) workshop aims to engage with the IR community about possible links to bibliometrics and scholarly communication. Bibliometric techniques are not yet widely used to enhance retrieval processes in digital libraries, although they offer value-added effects for users. In this workshop we will explore how statistical modelling of scholarship, such as Bradfordizing or network analysis of co-authorship network, can improve retrieval services for specific communities, as well as for large, cross-domain collections. This workshop aims to raise awareness of the missing link between information retrieval (IR) and bibliometrics / scientometrics and to create a common ground for the incorporation of bibliometric-enhanced services into retrieval at the digital library interface. Our interests include information retrieval,…
