== Call for papers ==


** Introduction **

Although scientific literature plays a major part in research and policy-making, these texts represent an underserved area of NLP. NLP can play a role in addressing research information overload, identifying disinformation and its effect on people and society, and enhancing the reproducibility of science. The unique challenges of processing scholarly documents necessitate the development of specific methods and resources optimized for this domain. The Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) workshop provides a venue for discussing these challenges, bringing together stakeholders from different communities including computational linguistics, text mining, information retrieval, digital libraries, scientometrics, and others to develop and present methods and resources in support of these goals.

This workshop builds on the success of prior workshops: the 1st SDP workshop held at EMNLP 2020 and the 1st SciNLP workshop held at AKBC 2020. In addition to having broad appeal within the NLP community, we hope the SDP workshop will attract researchers from other relevant fields including meta-science, scientometrics, data mining, information retrieval, and digital libraries, bringing together these disparate communities within ACL.


** Topics of Interest **

We invite submissions from all communities demonstrating usage of and challenges associated with natural language processing, information retrieval, and data mining of scholarly and scientific documents. Relevant tasks include:

* Representation learning
* Information extraction
* Summarization
* Generation
* Question answering
* Discourse modeling and argumentation mining
* Network analysis
* Bibliometrics, scientometrics, and altmetrics
* Reproducibility
* Peer review
* Search and indexing
* Datasets and resources
* Document parsing
* Text mining
* Research infrastructure, and others.

We specifically invite research on important and/or underserved areas, such as:

* Identifying/mitigating scientific disinformation and its effects on public policy and behavior
* Reducing information overload through summarization and aggregation of information within and across documents
* Improving access to scientific papers through multilingual scholarly document processing


** Submission Information **

Authors are invited to submit full and short papers with unpublished, original work. Submissions will be subject to a double-blind peer review process. Accepted papers will be presented by the authors at the workshop either as a talk or a poster. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

The submissions should be in PDF format and anonymized for review. All submissions must be written in English and follow the NAACL 2021 formatting requirements: https://2021.naacl.org/calls/style-and-formatting/

We follow the same policies as NAACL 2021 regarding preprints and double-submissions (https://2021.naacl.org/calls/papers/). The anonymity period for SDP 2021 is from February 15, 2021 to April 15, 2021.

Long paper submissions: up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited references.
Short paper submissions: up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references.

Final versions of accepted papers will be allowed 1 additional page of content so that reviewer comments can be taken into account.

More details about submissions are available on our website: http://www.sdproc.org. To receive updates, please join our mailing list: https://groups.google.com/g/sdproc-updates or follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sdproc
