ISSI 2027 invites scholarly contributions across scientometrics, informetrics, bibliometrics, science of science, research evaluation, scholarly communication, and related areas. The conference serves as a forum for researchers, research managers, administrators, information professionals, and policy-oriented communities to exchange work on how science and knowledge systems are measured, understood, governed, and communicated.
Contributions may address theory, methods, empirical studies, computation, policy, practice, responsible metrics, open science, artificial intelligence, and evolving knowledge systems. Online submission details will be announced once the official platform is confirmed.
Please select the appropriate ISSI 2027 category template before preparing your submission.
Original, refereed research contributions and research-in-progress manuscripts in scientometrics, informetrics, bibliometrics, science of science, research evaluation, scholarly communication, and related areas.
Manuscripts prepared for confirmed ISSI 2027 special-track calls once track details and instructions are announced.

Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following conference topics:
Quantitative studies of scientific outputs, communication, performance, and impact, including citation-based and alternative indicators, social media and online attention metrics, and frameworks for research evaluation and assessment.
Applications of machine learning, natural language processing, large language models, and other computational methods to analyze, model, and understand scientific production, communication, evaluation, and knowledge evolution.
Methods and applications for analyzing and visualizing the structure, dynamics, and evolution of scientific, technological, and interdisciplinary knowledge using network-based, semantic, and clustering approaches.
Research on transparency, reproducibility, open science practices, and responsible research assessment, including reforms of scholarly communication and assessment systems.
Studies of science policy, governance, funding systems, and the societal, economic, and innovation impacts of science and technology, including policy-oriented and mission-oriented research and innovation systems.
Research on interdisciplinarity, diversity and inclusion, scientific workforce dynamics, and inequalities across fields, institutions, regions, and demographic groups.
Use of patents and related data to analyze technological development, innovation processes, knowledge transfer, intellectual property systems, and science–technology interactions.
Research on international collaboration, geopolitical influences, scientific fragmentation, and the changing global organization and dynamics of science.
We also welcome submissions on emerging, cross-cutting, and unconventional topics related to informetrics, scientometrics, and the science of science, including novel datasets, methods, infrastructures, interdisciplinary perspectives, and rapidly evolving research areas that may not fit neatly within the above categories.
