Day: Monday, July 16, 5:30 - 6:30 pm

Description:
Wouldn't it be great if publication authors could digitize their scientific results when they submit their paper for peer-review? Software systems are needed to enable this, composed of automatic text mining systems and intuitive user interfaces that make data entry fun and easy. This session aims to bring together text miners, software developers, database groups and journal editors to discuss this aspect of the future of scientific publication.
