The 28th Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy (NWB2023) is scheduled from October 11-13, 2023. The Department of Communication and Learning in Science at the Chalmers University of Technology will host the NWB2023 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy was initiated by Professors Olle Persson and Peter Ingwersen in 1996, and has been held annually, rotating between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This workshop has been a consistent and enduring practice within the bibliometrics community for nearly three decades. It aims to promote the convergence of bibliometric research with research policy, highlight the latest bibliometric research activities from the Nordic region and beyond, and enhance the ties between bibliometric research groups and their PhD students.
Gothenburg is hosting the workshop for the first time. Previous workshops in the series were held in Helsinki (1996, 2012, 2017), Stockholm (1997, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013), Oslo (1998, 2002, 2006, 2015, 2020), Copenhagen (1999, 2007, 2016), Oulu (2000), Aalborg (2003, 2011), Turku (2004, 2022), Tampere (2008), Bergen (2010), Reykjavik (2014, 2019), Borås (2018) and Odense (2021).
From 1996 to 2001, the Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics was held with the aim of providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and exchange knowledge on bibliometrics. This series of workshops proved to be instrumental in advancing the field, as well as fostering collaboration among Nordic countries. Following the success of the initial workshops, the Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy was launched in 2002 and has continued to the present day. This expanded forum not only covers bibliometrics, but also addresses broader research policy issues such as research evaluation and impact assessment.
Participants who wish to present their research with a Nordic audience and beyond are encouraged to submit a 250-word abstract in the prescribed format. If an abstract is accepted, the authors (at least one) must register for the event and attend the workshop in person. The workshop is open to participants worldwide and will be conducted in English. There is no cost associated with registration; however, participants must cover their travel and accommodation expenses.
