Abstract

Springer Nature is the main publisher of scientific conferences in Computer Science and produces several well-known series of proceedings books, such as LNCS. The editorial team needs to take critical decisions about which conferences to publish as well as actively scan the horizon for identifying emerging ones. In this short paper, we present the Conference Dashboard, a new web application based on a large knowledge graph of scholarly data (1.3B triples) for assessing scientific conferences and informing editorial decisions.
