This year eight papers were accepted as full papers for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. In addition, the workshop featured one keynote talk and various greeting notes by senior researchers in the different BIR-related fields. Some greeting notes are given as short video recordings, some as written notes. All workshop contributions are documented in the workshop website 4 . The following section briefly lists the various contributions.
This year's keynote was given by George Tsatsaronis: Metrics and trends in assessing the scientific impact.
The Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval workshop series (BIR) was launched at ECIR in 2014 [2] and was held at ECIR each year since then. As our workshop lies at the crossroads between IR and NLP, we also ran BIR as a joint workshop called BIRNDL (Bibliometric enhanced IR and NLP for Digital Libraries) at the JCDL and SIGIR conferences. This year we organize the 10th iteration of BIR [1].
All pointers to the past and future workshops and proceedings are hosted at https://sites.google.com/view/bir-ws/.
The following research papers were presented in 3 sessions.
We asked researchers from the Scientometrics as well as Information Retrieval community to send their thoughts about the workshop series. The following videos (see playlist https://bit.ly/BIR-greetings) and our written greeting notes were submitted.

Currently the BIR organizers edit a Special issue on "Bibliometrics and Information Retrieval" 5 in the journal Scientometrics (Springer). All accepted and published papers are listed on the SI page accordingly. Since 2016 we maintain the "Bibliometric-enhanced-IR Bibliography" 6 that collects scientific papers which appear in collaboration with the BIR/BIRNDL organizers.
