The papers can be divided into five general topics: infrastructures (2 papers), semantic enrichment (6 papers), text-mining tools (3 papers), research impact (2 papers) and social & legal aspects (1 paper). We believe the papers in this issue present a number of novel ideas, demonstrating the progress made in this domain. A significant proportion of the new approaches presented in this issue address a wide range of problems in extracting structured information, and even detailed semantics, from research papers ..."
