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, information
seeking, science modelling, network analysis, and digital libraries. The goal
is to apply insights from bibliometrics, scientometrics, and informetrics to
concrete practical problems of information retrieval and browsing.Comment: 4 pages, Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval Workshop at ECIR
