We have noticed that many scientists process scholarly publications with advanced neural network-driven machine learning techniques to extract semantic information as if they were an ordinary corpus of natural language texts. In this opinion article, we give more emphasis to the value of Bibliometric-Enhanced Information Retrieval as a major field in such a context. In fact, bibliographic metadata can be easily used to refine information retrieval results without depending too much on very advanced techniques. This will allow the development of knowledge graph construction and refinement algorithms that return high accuracy results with less effort.
