History of conferences
editThe survey of the LREC conferences over the period 1998-2013 was presented during the 2014 conference [1] in Reykjavik as a closing session.[2] It appears that the number of papers and signatures is increasing over time.[citation needed] The average number of authors per paper is higher as well. The percentage of new authors is between 68% and 78%.[citation needed] The distribution between male (65%) and female (35%) authors is stable over time. The most frequent technical term is "annotation", then comes "part-of-speech".
The LRE Map
editThe LRE Map was introduced at LREC 2010 and is now a regular feature of the LREC submission process for both the conference papers and the workshop papers. At the submission stage, the authors are asked to provide some basic information about all the resources (in a broad sense, i.e. including tools, standards and evaluation packages), either used or created, described in their papers. All these descriptors are then gathered in a global matrix called the LRE Map.[3] This feature has been extended to several other conferences.
