Abstract

Since 2012, the CLEF eHealth initiative has aimed to gather researchers working on health text analytics and to provide them with annual shared tasks. This chapter reports on measuring its scholarly impact in 2012–2017 and describing its future objectives. The large number of submissions and citations demonstrate the substantial community interest in the tasks and their resources. Consequently, the initiative continues to run in 2018 and 2019 with its goal to support patients, their family, clinical staff, health scientists, and healthcare policy makers in accessing and authoring health information in a multilingual setting.

Authors’ Contributions: In alphabetical order by forename, HS, LK, and LG co-chaired the CLEF eHealth lab in 2012–2018 and led some of its tasks. To review the lab outcomes, HS first conceptualized the study and then designed and supervised its literature survey and citation content analysis which the co-authors conducted in close collaboration. HS, LK, and LG drafted the manuscript together, with dedicated duties for each coauthor. After this all authors critically commented and revised the manuscript. All authors have read and approved the final version of the chapter.
