### Apologies for Cross-Posting ### ------------------------------ ACM Web Science 2016 ------------------------------ 8th International ACM Web Science Conference 2016 May 22 - May 25, 2016 in Hannover, Germany Conference Website: http://www.websci16.org/ Submissions on EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=websci16 *Submission is due on 8 February 2016* ----------------------------- Call for Papers and Abstracts ----------------------------- The Web Science conference welcomes participation from all disciplines including, but not limited to, art, computer and information sciences, communication, economics, humanities, informatics, law, linguistics, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology, in pursuit of an understanding of the Web. This conference is unique in bringing these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue. We particularly welcome contributions that seek to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. We are seeking papers and abstracts that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. ------ Topics ------ Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches for Web Science - Web practices - individual and/or collective and/or institutional - Humanities on the Web - The architecture and philosophy of the Web - Web Science approaches to Data Science and the Web of Data - Web Science and the Internet of Things - Social machines, collective intelligence and collaborative production - Analysis of online social and information networks - Social Media analytics for Web Science - Web economics, social entrepreneurship and innovation - Web Science and Cybersecurity - Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons - Personal data, trust, and privacy - Web access, literacy, and development - Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web - Health and well-being online - Arts and culture on the Web - Data curation and stewardship in Web Science - Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives ---------- Submission ---------- Web Science 2016 is a very selective conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we allow for three different paper submission formats: full papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. Full papers are 8-10 pages long, ACM double column. Full papers should present new and substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Full papers include an abstract, an introduction, sections and about 30 references. Full papers should be original work that has not been previously published. Short papers are 3-5 pages long, ACM double column. Short papers should present new and substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Short papers should include an abstract, an introductory paragraph and about 20 references. Short papers should be original work that has not been previously published. Extended abstracts are ~ 2 pages long, ACM double column. Extended abstracts present new research of broad significance for the WebSci community. Extended abstracts include about 10 references. Full and short papers could be assigned to any of the three presentation modes—long talk, short talk and poster. Extended abstracts will be assigned to the poster sessions. The final mode of presentation will be determined by qualities of the paper like maturity of research, strength of argument, interdisciplinary approach and impetus to spur further work. Senior chairs may decide to recommend extended abstracts of particular relevance to short talks. All types of accepted submissions will be included in the proceedings, which will be archived by the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library. However, to accommodate publication habits of different scientific communities, we allow authors to opt out of having their contribution appear in the proceedings. We will organize a special issue of The Journal of Web Science. Authors of selected full and short papers and extended abstracts will be contacted and invited to submit a full-length journal paper for the special issue. All the papers invited to this submission will go through a peer-review process before receiving final approval. --------------- Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission 1 February 2016 Full paper submission 8 February 2016 Acceptance notification 18 March 2016 Final version 15 April 2016 ----------------- Program Co-chairs ----------------- - Paolo Parigi, Stanford University, USA - Steffen Staab, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Germany & University of Southampton, UK -------------------------- Senior Programme Committee -------------------------- - Axel Bruns, Queensland University, Brisbane, AU (Media & Communication Studies) - Coye Sheshire, UC Berkeley, US (Collaboration & Incentivization) - Tat-seng Chua, NU Singapore (Information Retrieval & Web Observatory) - Ulrike Cress, Univ.
