The work contributes a valuable input for researchers, academics, funding institutes and research administration departments by sharing the trends to set directions of research path.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The authors procure an innovative CFP data set to analyse scientific evolution and prestige of conferences that set scientific trends using scientific publications indexed in DBLP. Using the Field of Research code 804 from Australian Research Council, the authors identify 146 conferences (from 2006 to 2015) into different thematic areas by matching the terms extracted from publication titles with the Association for Computing Machinery Computing Classification System. Furthermore, the authors enrich the vocabulary of terms from the WordNet dictionary and Growbag data set. To measure the significance of terms, the authors adopt the following weighting schemas: probabilistic, gram, relative, accumulative and hierarchal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results indicate the rise of \u201cbig data analytics\u201d from CFP topics in the last few years. Whereas the topics related to \u201cprivacy and security\u201d show an exponential increase, the topics related to \u201csemantic web\u201d show a downfall in recent years. While analysing publication output in DBLP that matches CFP indexed in ERA Core A* to C rank conference, the authors identified that A* and A tier conferences not merely set publication trends, since B or C tier conferences target similar CFP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, the analyses presented in this research are prolific for the scientific community and research administrators to study research trends and better data management of digital libraries pertaining to the scientific literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/lht-02-2019-0048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,2]],"date-time":"2020-01-02T10:05:30Z","timestamp":1577959530000},"page":"115-132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Extracting scientific trends by mining topics from Call for Papers"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Noor","family":"Arshad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Abu","family":"Bakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Saira Hanif","family":"Soroya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Iqra","family":"Safder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sajjad","family":"Haider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6509-9190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saeed-Ul","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Naif Radi","family":"Aljohani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Salem","family":"Alelyani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9588-0052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raheel","family":"Nawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"key2022021611152785400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"842","DOI":"10.1108\/EL-11-2017-0236","article-title":"Stylometric analysis of classical Arabic texts for genre detection","volume":"36","year":"2018","journal-title":"The Electronic Library"},{"key":"key2022021611152785400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ananiadou, S., Thompson, P. and Nawaz, R.
