                Journal of Scientometric Research
<br>
<br>Special issue on Quantitative, Network-theoretic and Altmetric Analysis of
<br>Scholarly Big Data
<br>
<br>*Call for Papers*
<br>In the modern connected world full of digital information and scholarly
<br>content, identifying the most relevant resources has become a challenge. A
<br>researcher, irrespective of his/her discipline of knowledge, now has to
<br>depend on online portals, digital libraries and electronic repositories for
<br>finding scientific articles in an area and also reporting research results.
<br>However, academic search is still provided largely by various search
<br>engines, where they treat the task of scholarly article search as a web
<br>search problem. In this process, the bibliometric information and
<br>associated metadata of scholarly articles is often ignored completely.
<br>This special issue aims to report research results and advances in the
<br>area, viewed from different perspectives (such as Computer Science,
<br>Informatics, Bibliometrics, Scientometrics and Science & Technology
<br>Studies). There are clear applications of Scientometrics to Information
<br>Retrieval and vice versa. Applying Scientometrics to Information Retrieval
<br>process helps in improving the Information Retrieval results, particularly
<br>in Scholarly articles domain, a theme now pursued under the title of
<br>Bibliometric Enhanced Information retrieval. Similarly, ideas from Text
<br>Analytics and Language Processing can help in developing newer models of
<br>Scientometric evaluations and characterizations. Altmetrics, the emerging
<br>alternative metrics, are another important area of research having impact
<br>on the way scholarly data is processed. Network-theoretic approaches
<br>contribute to understanding of the area as well.
<br>Submissions to the special issue are open to researchers from any part of
<br>the world. The special issue will mainly draw extended papers from the
<br>Indo-German Workshop on Information Retrieval, Informetrics and
<br>Scientometrics to be held during 11-13 June 2019 at Cologne, Germany.
<br>However, special issue is also open to submissions on the topics covered in
<br>the workshop from other authors as well. Authors are solicited to submit
<br>articles reporting research results, conceptual advances and experimental
<br>studies, describing significant advances in Information Retrieval,
<br>Informetrics and Scientometrics. Papers that describe concepts and ideas on
<br>the broad intersection of Information Retrieval, Scientometrics, Applied
<br>Informetrics and Altmetrics are welcome. The journal allows different kinds
<br>of submissions ranging from Research Articles & Perspective Papers to
<br>Commentary and Scientific Correspondence. Please see
<br>https://www.jscires.org/contributors.asp for more details.
<br>An indicative (but non-exhaustive) list of topics is as below:
<br>
<br>   - Academic Databases: Structures, Coverage, Subject Classification,
<br>   Journal Metrics, Journal Rankings and Categorization, Databases and
<br>Digital

<br>   - Indicators and Performance Metrics: Bibliometric Indicators, Impact
<br>   Measures, Metrics for performance assessment of Individuals and journal
<br>   impact, Use and Abuse of Indicators.
<br>   - Text-based Methods: Identifying Themes and Trends, Topic Modeling,
<br>   Burst Detection, Keyphrase Identification.
<br>   - Mapping and Visualization: Visualization Tools and Techniques,
<br>   Visualizing Intellectual Structures of Disciplines, Co-variates and
<br>   Graphical Visualizations.
