# DESCRIPTION
The main goal of the SAVE-SD workshop is to bring together publishers,
companies and researchers from different fields (among which Document and
Knowledge Engineering, Semantic Web, Natural Language Processing, Scholarly
Communication, Bibliometrics, and Human-Computer Interaction) in order to
bridge the gap between the theoretical/academic and practical/industrial
aspects in regards to scholarly data.
The following fields will be addressed:
- semantics of scholarly data, i.e. how to semantically represent, categorise,
connect and integrate scholarly data, in order to foster reusability and
knowledge sharing;
- analytics on scholarly data, i.e. designing and implementing novel and
scalable algorithms for knowledge extraction with the aim of understanding
research dynamics, forecasting research trends, fostering connections between
groups of researchers, informing research policies, analysing and interlinking
experiments and deriving new knowledge;
- visualisation of and interaction with scholarly data, i.e. providing novel
user interfaces and applications for navigating and making sense of scholarly
data and highlighting their patterns and peculiarities.
# TOPICS OF INTEREST
We would encourage submission of papers covering one or more of the following
topics:
Semantics:
- Data models (e.g., ontologies, vocabularies, schemas) for the description of
scholarly data and the linking between scholarly data and academic papers that
report or cite them
- Description of citations and citation networks
- Theoretical models describing the rhetorical and argumentative structure of
scholarly papers and
their application in practice
- Description and use of provenance information of scholarly data
- From digital libraries of scholarly papers to Linked Open Datasets: models,
applicability and
challenges
- Definition and description of scholarly publishing processes
- Modelling licences for scholarly documents and data
Analytics:
- Assessing the quality and/or trust of scholarly data
- Pattern discovery of scholarly data
- Citation analysis and prediction
- Scientific claims identification from textual contents
- New indicators for measuring the quality and relevance of research
- Comparison between standard metrics (e.g., h-index, impact factor, citation
counting) and
alternative metrics in real-case scenarios
- Automatic or semi-automatic approaches to making sense of research dynamics
- Content- and data-based semantic similarity of scholarly papers
- Citation generation
- Automatic semantic enhancement of existing scholarly libraries and papers
- Reconstruction, forecasting and monitoring of scholarly data
Visualisation and Interaction:
- Novel user interfaces for interaction with paper, metadata, content, and data
- Visualisation of citation networks according to multiple dimensions (e.g.,
citation counting,
citation functions, kinds of citing/cited entities)
- Visualisation of related papers or data according to multiple dimensions
(semantic similarity of
abstracts, keywords, etc.)
- Applications for making sense of scholarly data
- Usability studies on existing interfaces (e.g., Web sites, Web applications,
smartphone apps) for
browsing scholarly data
- Scholarly data and ubiquity: accessing scholarly information from multiple
devices (PC, tablet,
smartphones)
- Applications for the (semi-)automatic annotation of scholarly papers
# IMPORTANT DATES
- Extended submission deadline: January 26, 2015 (11:00 Central Europe Time)
- Acceptance notification: February 22, 2015
- Camera ready deadline: March 8, 2015
# SUBMISSIONS
SAVE-SD welcomes the submission of original research and application papers
dealing with the tree aforementioned field. We encourage theoretical,
methodological, empirical and applications papers. We appreciate the submission
of papers incorporating links to data sets and other material used for
evaluation as well as to live demos and software source code.
All submissions must be written in English. Two formats are possible for the
submission:
- PDF, a file formatted according to the ACM double-column instructions
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates);
- HTML, a zip archive containing an HTML file compliant with the Research
Articles in Simplified HTML (RASH) format
(http://cs.unibo.it/save-sd/rash/index.html).
We invite four kinds of submissions:
- full research papers (max. 6 pp. in PDF or 5400 words in HTML)
- position papers (max. 4 pp. in PDF or 3600 words in HTML)
- demo papers (max. 2 pp. in PDF or 1800 words in HTML)
- poster papers (max. 2 pp. in PDF or 1800 words in HTML)
All the aforementioned limits include metadata (title, authors, keywords, ACM
categories, abstract), acknowledgements, references and the whole content of
the paper. In the HTML format, figures and tables count 300 words each.
Submissions and reviewing will be supported by the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=savesd2015
# EVALUATION OF SUBMISSIONS
In order to evaluate the submitted papers, we have three different program
committees:
- The Senior PC, whose members will act as meta-reviewers and have the crucial
role of balancing the scores provided by the reviews from the other two PCs
(see below);
- The Industrial PC, who will evaluate the submissions from an industrial
perspective mainly â by assessing how much the theories/applications
described in the papers do/may influence (positively or negatively) the
publishing domain and whether they could be concretely adopted by publishers
and scholarly data providers;
- The Academic PC, who will evaluate the papers from an academic perspective
mainly â by assessing the quality of the research described in such papers.
All submissions will be reviewed by (at least) one Senior PC member, one
Industrial PC member and two Academic PC members. The final decision of
acceptance/rejection will be made in consensus by the chairs.
# PUBLICATION VENUES
The proceedings of SAVE-SD will be collected in the Companion volume of the WWW
2015 conference, which will be published by ACM in its digital library. The WWW
2015 organisers will require at least one registration per paper published in
the Companion volume. At the time of submission of the final camera-ready copy,
authors will have to indicate the already registered person for that
publication.
In addition, the authors of the best papers of the workshop will be invited to
submit an extended version of their work to a special issue that will be
published as part of the Journal of Documentation
(http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journal/jd), one of the longest established
academic journals in library and information science (2013 Impact Factor:
1.035; indexed in several citation services, among which Elsevier's Scopus and
Thomson Reuters' Journal Citation Reports).
# INVITED SPEAKER
The invited speaker for the opening keynote of the workshop will be Paul Groth
from Elsevier Labs.
Paul Groth holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Southampton
(2007), has done research at the University of Southern California, and has
been an assistant professor in the Web and Media Group at the VU University of
Amsterdam and a member of its Network Institute.
His research focuses on dealing with large amounts of diverse contextualised
knowledge with a particular focus on the web and science applications. This
includes research in data provenance, web and data science, knowledge and data
integration and knowledge sharing. Paul was co-chair of the W3C Provenance
Working Group that created a standard for provenance interchange. He is
co-author of Provenance: an Introduction to PROV. Currently, he is a key
contributor to Open PHACTS (http://www.openphacts.org) - a project to develop a
provenance-enabled platform for large scale pharmacological information. He
blogs at http://thinklinks.wordpress.com. You can find him on twitter: @pgroth
# AWARDS
An award of 250 euros, kindly sponsored by Pensoft (http://www.pensoft.net),
will be assigned to the best paper of the workshop. The decision will be taken
by considering both the reviews received and how the authors will address the
reviewers' concerns in the camera ready.
Another award of 150 euros as a voucher for buying Springer's products, kindly
sponsored by Springer (http://www.springer.com), will be assigned to the best
workshop submission in RASH format (i.e., simplified HTML+RDFa). The decision
will be taken by considering the quality of the markup (i.e., the less
syntactical mistakes there are in the markup, the better), the number of RDF
statements defined in RDFa, and the number of RDF links to LOD datasets.
