FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
The 4th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Publications
(WASP 2026)
Co-located with IJCNLP-AACL 2026
November 9, 2026, Online
Website: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/WIESP/2026/ [1]
Submissions (OpenReview):
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2026/Workshop/WASP
[2] ====================================================================
OVERVIEW
The scientific literature now grows faster than anyone can read it. The
claims, evidence, named entities, relations, and citations that
researchers rely on remain in unstructured text rather than in any form
a machine can use directly. Turning that text into structured,
machine-readable knowledge is a central problem in NLP, and many of the
questions it raises remain open.
WASP 2026 brings together researchers working to extract, structure, and
mine knowledge from scholarly publications. As large language models
reshape how scientific text is parsed, mined, and synthesized, this
iteration keeps information extraction at its center while broadening to
the full pipeline that turns publications into usable knowledge, from
summarization and retrieval to evaluation and the responsible use of
LLMs in scientific publishing.
WASP continues a series that began as the Workshop on Information
Extraction from Scientific Publications (WIESP) at AACL-IJCNLP 2022 and
IJCNLP-AACL 2023, and grew into WASP at IJCNLP-AACL 2025.
TOPICS OF INTEREST (not limited to)
- Scientific document parsing and structured information extraction;
citation context/span extraction and citation-based knowledge mining
- Scientific named-entity recognition and concept identification
- Scientific literature quality assessment and automated peer review
assistance
- Argument extraction and scientific discourse analysis
- Scientific article summarisation and headline generation
- Question-answering and fact retrieval from scientific literature
- Pretraining and fine-tuning LLMs on scientific corpora
- Evaluation and alignment of LLMs for scientific understanding
- AI-assisted scientific discovery and hypothesis generation
- Cross-lingual scientific knowledge transfer and multilingual
publication processing
- Scientific trend analysis and research gap identification
- Reproducibility and replicability analysis in scientific publications
- Ethical and responsible use of LLMs in scientific publishing
- Automated metadata generation and semantic tagging of scientific
publications
- Scientific plagiarism detection and research integrity monitoring
- Scientific collaboration network analysis and co-authorship prediction
- Automated scientific writing assistance and manuscript generation
- Scientific image and figure analysis in publications
SUBMISSION
Long papers: up to 8 pages of content (9 in the camera-ready), plus
unlimited references.
Short papers: up to 4 pages of content (5 in the camera-ready), plus
unlimited references.
All submissions are double-blind and must follow the host venue
formatting guidelines and ACL template files. We follow AACL-IJCNLP 2026
policies on anonymity, preprints, and double submissions. Accepted
papers will appear in the WASP 2026 proceedings in the ACL Anthology.
