Conversational Systems Research in Spain: A Scientometric Approach Griol Barres, David Callejas Carrión, Zoraida We would like to thank the support of the Spanish Plan for the Advancement of Language Technology (https://www.plantl.gob.es/) and the Secretaría de Estado para la Digitalización e Inteligencia Artificial (SEDIA). This research has also received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 823907 (MENHIR project: https://menhir-project.eu). The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary scientometric study of the area of conversational systems in Spain. In order to do so, we have used the Web of Science database to retrieve the papers in the area using a comprehensive list of keywords and considering those papers with at least one author with Spanish affiliation. Our results present an overview of the main topics, authors and institutions involved in conversational system research and show the good status of Spanish research in this discipline. 2020-12-09T11:47:34Z 2020-12-09T11:47:34Z 2020-10-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject Griol D., Callejas Z.
