Report on the 3rd International Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR 2016).

To foster collaboration and knowledge transfer between the fields of bibliometrics / scientometrics / informetrics on the one hand and information retrieval on the other hand, we successfully ran a workshop series on bibliometric-enhanced information retrieval (BIR). This workshop report presents the BIR 2016 workshop, which has been co-located with ECIR for the third time this year. We motivate our workshop and outline the papers (one keynote and seven regular papers) presented at ECIR 2016 in Padua, Italy. Finally we reflect on past BIR workshops and conclude with an outlook of future directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
