Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy
September 21-23, 2022 in Turku, Finland

NWB2022

The Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy has been organized annually since its beginning in 1996. The event alternates between locations in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The purpose of the workshop is to link bibliometric research with research policy, to present the newest bibliometric research in the Nordic countries and beyond, and to create better links between the bibliometric research groups and their PhD students, which is now, in the aftermath of the global pandemic, perhaps more important than ever before. The pandemic has made it impossible for PhD students to meet other researchers and create networks that are so important for their future careers. Therefore, this year’s workshop will have a special focus on creating networking opportunities for PhD students.

The workshop is open to participants from any nation and will be held in English. Participation in the workshop is free of charge, but travel and accommodation have to be arranged and financed by the participants themselves.

Instructions for presenters: Each presenter has 20 minutes, including questions and discussion. Come to your session 5 minutes before the session starts and upload your presentation (PowerPoint or PDF) to the computer in the lecture hall. In each session the last speaker will also be the chair of the session (so the chair has a good incentive to make sure that nobody takes too much time 🙂 )
