Abstract Summary
We propose the second workshop on Scholarly Information Access (SCOLIA) to take place at ECIR 2026 as a half-day workshop. The workshop is building upon SCOLIA@ECIR 2025 and following up on the long series of the Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR) workshops at ECIR. SCOLIA addresses research topics related to academic search and recommendation, at the intersection of Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing (including generative AI), and Bibliometrics. As an interdisciplinary and intersectoral scientific event, addressing an ever-growing topic investigated by both academia and industry, SCOLIA brings together researchers and practitioners from the aforementioned communities. The interactive format fosters engagement of all participants and fruitful discussions. The outcome of the workshop will reflect the current state and identify future research questions.
