The purpose of the Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy is to link bibliometric research with research policy, to present the newest bibliometric research in the Nordic countries, and to create better links between the bibliometric research groups and their PhD students.

We welcome novel ideas or work-in-progress of interest to a Nordic audience. We specifically encourage presentations with a research policy perspective. 

Participants who wish to give an oral presentation or a poster are kindly asked to submit a 250-word abstract.  Presenters of accepted abstracts must attend the 31st Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy in Copenhagen. Accepted abstracts (submitted version) will be published in the book of abstracts under a CC-BY license.

Submission of abstracts opens on May 15.
