We welcome novel ideas or work-in-progress of interest to a Nordic audience and this year we especially encourage papers with a research policy perspective. You can offer either a paper or a poster. Due to limitations in the program the scientific committee may suggest that paper submissions should be given as posters. Papers will be presented orally at the workshop (ca. 20 min.), while posters will be showcased in a poster booster session followed by a free-form discussion. The posters will be on display in the hallways of the workshop site.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt;">We also welcome scholarly and professional papers on the pre-workshop topic ‘Bibliometrics in the Library’.
