Scientometric Analysis of the German IR Community within TREC & CLEF
Abstract
Within this study, the influence of the German Information Retrieval community on the retrieval campaigns Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) and Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF) between 2000 and 2022 was analyzed based on metadata provided by OpenAlex and further metadata extracted with the GROBID framework from the publication's full texts. The analysis was conducted at the institutional and researcher levels. It was found that the German IR community, both on the author and institution level, mainly contributed to CLEF. Furthermore, it was shown that productivity follows the assumptions made by Lotka's Law.
