Call for publications
The guest editors of this special issue of the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science invite original research from all disciplines reporting on various aspects of the integration of text mining techniques within information retrieval applications. This includes, but is not limited to:
- developing text mining strategies within an information retrieval context
- evaluating text mining operations for information retrieval
- identifying contexts for text mining (thematic analysis, management of digital libraries, information extraction and visualization, knowledge extraction, cross-linguistic information retrieval, etc.)
Text mining approaches described in the papers may be based on numerical or linguistic techniques, or both. Special attention should be given to the description and evaluation of the information retrieval system where the text mining techniques are embedded, where applicable. Applications described in the papers can be academic prototypes or commercial software.
Manuscripts will undergo the normal double-blind review process for submissions to CJILS.
