ISSI2023 Call for Papers https://cns-iu.github.io/workshops/2023-07-02_issi/ The Organizing Committee invites scholars, friends, and researchers to submit a contribution to the 19th International Society of Scientometrics and Informetrics Conference<https://cns-iu.github.io/workshops/2023-07-02_issi/> to be held in Bloomington, Indiana, USA, July 2-5. ISSI2023 is part of a long series of biennial conferences launched in 1987 that provide an international forum for scientists, research managers and administrators, as well as information professionals, to discuss the advancements of informetric and scientometric theory and applications and to better understand the complexity of scholarly communication and its role in the knowledge-based societies. The forum provides the opportunity for enlivened discussion, fun, and fellowship! The 2023 conference is organized by Indiana University under the auspices of ISSI – the International Society for Informetrics and Scientometrics.<http://www.issi-society.org/> All manuscripts should be submitted to the conference editorial manager system (ConfTool). Health, Safety, and Accessibility Although COVID-19 has been a concern for the past few years, following current health guidelines, we plan to return to an in-person conference in 2023. While we may live stream some of the conference for those who cannot attend in person, we will make limited use of online presentations – only for those who cannot attend legally or physically for whatever reason or who have a disability making it difficult to attend. Local health requirements will be announced prior to the conference. The Doctoral Forum, however, will be organized as a hybrid event, and will not require in-person attendance. Conference topics Major conference topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Informetric theory * Methods and techniques * Citation and co-citation analysis * Research collaboration, mobility and internationalization * Knowledge dissemination, integration and interdisciplinarity * Bibliometric indicators – present and future * Webometrics and altmetrics * Science mapping and visualization * Informetric applications of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) * Science policy and research assessment * University policy and institutional rankings * Communication channels: periodicals, proceedings, books and electronic publications * Knowledge discovery, AI (artificial intelligence) and data mining * Bibliometrics-aided information retrieval * Data sources and data processing * Data harmonization and integration * Quantum social science applications * Macro-, meso- and micro-level studies * Open science – open access and open data * Patent analysis * Science-technology interface Doctoral forum The Doctoral Forum is a one-day event and will take place on Sunday July 2, 2023. Welcome to the 8th ISSI Doctoral Forum, an event hosted in conjunction with the ISSI biennial meeting. The primary objective of the event is to provide doctoral students with a forum for presenting and discussing their research projects with senior researchers and fellow students, and to develop relationships with other scientists. Due to the intense mentoring provided in the Doctoral Forum, participation is limited to a selected group of students. Seven invited experts will moderate the event: Vincent Lariviere, Andrea Scharnhorst, Stasa Milojevic, Alesia Zuccala, Guillaume Cabanac, Jens Peter Andersen and Cassidy Sugimoto. There is no additional fee for attending the Doctoral Forum, but students are required to register for the main conference. We invite students who wish to participate to submit their research by using the ConfTools link, which will be live by Sept 15. The template for the submission can also be found. Please name your submitted file as follows: [yourlastname_issi_DF2023]. The deadline for submission is January 15, 2023 with decisions being issued by late February. The Doctoral Forum will operate in a hybrid mode (more details to come).
