Publication Venue Recommendation Using Profiles Based on Clustering

Abstract

In this paper, we study the venue recommendation problem in order to help researchers identify a journal or conference to submit a given paper. A common approach for tackling this problem is to build profiles to define the scope of each venue. These profiles are then compared against the target paper. In our approach, we will study how clustering techniques can be used to construct topic-based profiles and an information retrieval-based approach be used to obtain the final recommendations. Additionally, we will explore how the use of authorship (which supplements the information) helps to improve the recommendations.
