BESIDES: Beyond Search Engines-Intelligent Knowledge Discovery From Scholarly Publications

Managing and utilizing the rapidly expanding volume of scholarly publications has become increasingly complex, as traditional digital systems often fall short in providing comprehensive insights into scientific texts. Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) enable automated analysis, classification, and summarization of scientific literature, revealing patterns and knowledge that were previously difficult to access. This workshop brings together experts in computational linguistics, machine learning, text mining, information retrieval, digital libraries, and scientometrics to address these challenges and explore innovative solutions. We invite submissions presenting novel approaches, datasets, or tools for knowledge discovery in scholarly publications, as well as studies focusing on reproducibility, research integrity, inclusivity, and the societal impact of scholarly communication. The goal is to foster collaboration and advance methods that enhance the accessibility, understanding, and application of scientific knowledge. We therefore propose BESIDES 2025: Beyond Search Engines – Intelligent Knowledge Discovery from Scholarly Publications, a workshop dedicated to exploring new frontiers in information retrieval and bibliometrics. The workshop is planned to be held on 15-19, December 2025 at JCDL 2025 (Virtual Event)
