Examples include Microsoft Academic Graph, Google Scholar, DBLP, arXiv, CiteSeerX, Web of Knowledge, Udacity, Coursera, and edX. The workshop will contribute to the birth of a community having a shared interest around big scholarly data and exploring it using knowledge discovery, data science and analytics, network science, and other appropriate technologies.
