Aims and Scope
Recent proliferation of scientific papers and technical documents has become an obstacle to efficient information acquisition of new information in various fields. It is almost impossible for individual researchers to check and read all related documents. Even retrieving relevant documents is becoming harder and harder. This workshop gathers all the researchers and experts who are aiming at scientific document analysis from various perspectives, and invite technical paper presentations and system demonstrations that cover any aspects of scientific document analysis.

Topics
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

text analysis
document structure analysis
logical structure analysis
figure and table analysis
citation analysis of scientific and technical documents
scientific information assimilation
summarization and visualization
knowledge discovery/mining from scientific papers and data
similar document retrieval
entity and relation linking between documents and knowledge base
survey generation
resources for scientific documents analysis
document understanding in general
NLP systems aiming for scientific documents including tagging, parsing, coreference, etc.


Submissions
There are two classes of submissions:
Long paper on original and completed work, including concrete evaluation and analysis wherever appropriate; and
