NWB2023_Nordic Network for Advanced Bibliometrics

We propose an establishment of a Nordic Network for Advanced Bibliometrics that will promote the development and application of innovative bibliometric techniques among researchers and practitioners in the Nordic countries. By leveraging algorithmic classification, machine learning, citation context analysis, linked data, APIs, and visualization techniques, the network aims to enhance the understanding of scholarly communication, research impact, and knowledge dynamics. The network will foster a community of researchers and professionals working towards advancing bibliometrics in the Nordic region and beyond through collaboration, training, and research projects. In this workshop, we will showcase a number of cases by colleagues and then stage a panel discussion about how to set up such a network in the best way. We propose to develop training activities, hackathons, as well as online activities A dedicated communication platform based on Teams will be established to facilitate communication, knowledge sharing, and resource dissemination among network members. Regular updates, newsletters, and mailing lists will inform the network about ongoing activities and opportunities. The network will be open to both researchers and professionals working in bibliometrics and research policy. It will focus on open, transparent scholarly practices in line with the current state of knowledge in the field and ongoing policy discussions.
