Dear Colleagues, We would be most grateful if you would disseminate this call for papers from the academic journal “hipertext.net” [ http://raco.cat/index.php/Hipertext] in the distribution list AIR-L. You can see that the call is written in three versions: English, Spanish and Catalan. Please, tell us if we must to do anything. Thank you very much in advance, best wishes, Pere Freixa Director Hipertext.net ********** Mail subject: CFP: : Open Science, visibility and dissemination of academic output. Hipertext.net, number 19, November 2019 Mail text: [en español después] Call for papers: *Open Science, visibility and dissemination of academic output*. Guest editor: *Ernest Abadal*, University of Barcelona ( https://fbd.ub.edu/pub/abadal/) Submission deadline: *July 15th, 2019* Peer review. Notification of acceptance: *September 30th, 2019* Publication:* November 2019* Author guidelines: http://raco.cat/index.php/Hipertext/about/submissions Editorial contact: Pere Freixa, Director, hipertext(a)upf.edu Original manuscripts accepted in Spanish, English or Catalan *Introduction.* Open science is an approach to scientific research based on collaboration, on openness and transparency at each stage of the research process (including, data collection, peer review, dissemination, evaluation, etc.) and on the enhancement of its accessibility to society. Open science represents a radical transformation of the way in which scientific research is conducted and of its system of evaluation, in short, open science constitutes a genuine paradigmatic shift with respect to the prevailing system (Anglada & Abadal, 2018). At the beginning of the 2000s, initiatives were first undertaken taken in relation to such practices as open access, open educational resources (OER), open data (both administrative – open government data – and research – scientific data), open peer review, citizen science and new metrics, in addition to other practices that showed a specific awareness of openness in such areas as publication, data collection and the review process. However, each of these elements has tended to follow its own path of implementation and evolution, largely in isolation of the other elements. For this reason, the concept of open science seeks to take this general movement one step further and to broaden the perspective on how research works by integrating all these elements in a global and strategic vision of how we can face the challenges posed by science. The European Commission has, unquestionably, taken the lead in promoting this new model and in placing it firmly on the global agenda with the publication, in the first place of, the concept paper “Digital Science in Horizon 2020” (2013), followed most notably by its recommendations on access to and preservation of scientific information (European Commission, 2018) and the creation of its open science portal (European Commission, 2019) which brings together in one site news, events and documents related to open science. Academics and practitioners, therefore, are encouraged to send original research papers for publication in the next issue of Hipertext.net related particularly, but not exclusively, to the following lines of research: - Open science - Scientists and open science - Open science evaluation - The dissemination of open science - State open science policies - Research data - Open access - Plan S - Open peer review - Citizen science - Open educational resources *Bibliography* Anglada, Lluís; Abadal, Ernest (2018). “¿Qué es la ciencia abierta?”.

Notificación de aceptación: *30 septiembre 2019* Publicación: *Noviembre 2019* Pautas para autores: http://raco.cat/index.php/Hipertext/about/submissions Contacto: Pere Freixa, director editorial, hipertext(a)upf.edu Se aceptan originales escritos en español, inglés o catalán *Presentación* La ciencia abierta es una manera de concebir la investigación científica que se basa en el trabajo colaborativo, en la apertura y transparencia de todas las fases de la investigación (recogida de datos, revisión por expertos, difusión, evaluación, etc.) y también en la aproximación de la ciencia a la sociedad. La ciencia abierta supone una transformación radical de la manera de llevar a cabo la investigación científica y de cómo transformar su sistema de evaluación, en síntesis, todo un cambio de paradigma respecto del actual sistema (Anglada, Abadal, 2018). A principios de la década de 2000 se visualizan ya las iniciativas relacionadas con el acceso abierto, con los recursos educativos abiertos (REA), los datos abiertos —ya sean de la administración (open data) o de investigación (datos científicos)—, las revisiones abiertas (open peer review), la ciencia ciudadana (citizen science) o los nuevos modelos de evaluación (new metrics), entre otros ámbitos que han mostrado esta apertura focalizándola en la publicación, los datos recogidos o el proceso de revisión. Cada uno de estos elementos ha desarrollado una implantación y evolución propias que se ha llevado a cabo con poca interrelación entre ellos. Así pues, el concepto de ciencia abierta significa ir un paso más allá y ampliar la perspectiva sobre el funcionamiento de la investigación para conseguir integrar todos estos elementos en una visión global y estratégica de la manera de encarar la ciencia. Quien ha impulsado este nuevo modelo y lo ha situado en la agenda temática mundial ha sido, sin duda, la Comisión Europea con el documento Digital Science in Horizon 2020 (2013) y otros más que le han seguido, en especial las recomendaciones sobre acceso y preservación de la información científica (Comisión Europea, 2018) o el portal sobre ciencia abierta (Comisión Europea, 2019) que recoge la mayoría de los documentos y novedades sobre esta cuestión. Así pues, para el próximo número de Hipertext.net se propone a académicos y profesionales el envío de trabajos de investigación originales relacionados con alguna de estas líneas, que no son exclusivas: - Ciencia abierta - Los científicos y la ciencia abierta - La evaluación de la ciencia abierta - La difusión de la ciencia abierta - Políticas estatales para la ciencia abierta - Datos de investigación - Acceso abierto - Plan S - Open peer review - Ciencia ciudadana - Recursos educativos en abierto *Bibliografía* Anglada, Lluís; Abadal, Ernest (2018). “¿Qué es la ciencia abierta?”.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PDC2020 Manizales, Colombia
by Cristhian Daniel 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding a CFP test night be of interest for some of you. Best ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chiara Del Gaudio <chiara.delgaudio.d(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Feb 15, 2019, 14:10 Subject: [PDworld] CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PDC2020 Manizales, Colombia To: <pdworld(a)listserv.uni-siegen.de> CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PDC2020 Manizales, Colombia ======================================== Participatory Design Conference PDC2020 - Participation(s) otherwise Manizales, Colombia June 15-19 2020 Universidad de Caldas FB:https://www.facebook.com/PDC-2020-505446103195145 Twitter:@PDC_2020 ======================================== The Participatory Design Conference (PDC) has a long history in bringing together research concerned with the direct involvement of people in co-design, development, implementation, and appropriation activities around technologies, spaces, artefacts, and services. The conference invites researchers and practitioners working on participatory design, as it is encountered and discussed in multiple fields. In 2020, the 18th Biennial Participatory Design Conference (PDC) will be held in Manizales, Colombia, for the first time in South America. The conference will be held in conjunction with the Festival de la Imagen 2020 ( www.festivaldelaimagen.com) one of the largest and most recognized design events in Colombia, which will bring a variety of unique possibilities and encounters for PDC and its community. *PDC 2020’s theme is “Participation(s) otherwise”* Since Participatory Design’s (PD) emergence as a research community, PD scholars have asserted that design is a practical, social and political endeavour. Main commitments include: offering alternative technologies, rendering design processes democratic, open and accessible to wide participation, and amenable to critical scrutiny and mutual learning. By proposing the theme of Participation(s) otherwise, we want to invite the PD community to think further on the diverse meanings and ontologies that participation and design can take on. Let’s open up the understanding of “participation” beyond modernist narratives and theoretically “universal” cookie cutter solutions and account for diverse practices. What forms, conceptions and understandings of participation, collaboration, intervention, design and technology can we draw upon to contest essentialist views on participatory design? Are current conceptions coherent with plural understandings and realities? What haven’t we realized before? From whom else are we / can we be learning? We welcome a variety of different contributions, such as theoretical elaborations, case study analysis, long term explorations and/or methodological reflections. Submissions may address one or more of the following anchor points. These should not be considered as mandatory, but rather indicative of things we believe require urgent action: Local/global - place/territory: Explorations of place, space, materiality, and temporality within participatory design and for technologies otherwise. Economies: Inquiries into the role and scope of participatory design in the critique, reinterpretation and construction of green, circular, open, commons and solidarity processes. This includes also provocative reflections on participatory design processes themselves, understood as a process of exchange. Representation, resistance and governance otherwise: The potential of participatory design practices to support (or undermine) forms of civic participation, power redistribution and conflict negotiation, to challenge authoritarianism, or explore horizontal ways of organising - including making alternative (or resistive) technologies, spaces, systems, processes or infrastructures. Design Research: Explorations of new forms of making otherwise and methodological innovations for design as participatory political praxis (including decolonial, feminist, and collective research and action approaches). Reflections on how those can transform scientific writing to be more representative of collaborative knowledge construction processes. Participation and interculturality: spaces and features of (and for) dialogue and design that avoid universalism and include critical perspectives towards collaboration, co-creation, and the role of technology in these processes. *Categories and submission formats:* * FULL PAPERS (in English) * EXPLORATORY PAPERS (in English) * PLURILINGUAL PD (ESP/PT) (in Spanish or Portuguese) * EXHIBITION/ SITUATED ACTIONS (in English) * CONVERSATIONS: (in English) * OUTSIDE ACADEMIA (in English) * INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS (in English) * DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM (in English) * STUDENT PROJECTS: (in English) * ARTFUL INTEGRATORS’ AWARD *Keydates:* 15th February 2019 — First call for papers out 1st September 2019 — Submission DL for Full papers + Plurilingual track 1st December 2019 — Submission DL for Short papers, Interactive workshops and tutorials, Conversations, PhD colloquium, and Situated Actions/Exhibition 1st December 2019 — Second round submission for Full and Plurilingual papers 15th February 2020 — Notification to (all) authors 15th March 2020 — Camera ready papers (all formats, except student projects) + Submission for Student projects 25 April 2020 — Early bird registration deadline 15-19th of June 2020 PDC Conference and Festival de la Imagen Join us in Manizales Colombia!

Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. The Doctoral Consortium is implemented as a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers from the relevant fields. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium, students are asked to submit a paper presenting their doctoral research that describes: · The problem being addressed. · Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring to related work. · The main contributions that the PhD project aims to achieve. · The progress made to date (including a clear description of the proposed approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. · Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2019 key areas. Each DC submission is encouraged to consider the following: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, the submissions can consider: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each submission should contain a cover page including the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student.

an open rank position in digital sociology
by Dariusz Jemielniak 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

MINDS (Management in Networked and Digital Societies) department at Kozminski University, a leading research-driven business school in the heart of Europe, is seeking to fill one or more open rank positions in digital sociology. The research areas of particular interest for the candidates include: - Social Network Analysis SNA), - Large dataset analyses on primary data (self collected/scraped), - Other quantitative studies of online communities, - Qualitaitve studies of online communities and digital humanities, - Science and Technology Studies (STS) related to the Internet. We do not restrict the background of candidates to a particular field, as we believe that good research can be inspired and developed from different angles. However, we understand that the position may appeal particularly to people doing research in digital sociology, management, management science, data science, econometrics, computer science, information science, or digital humanities. *If you are fluent in Python, R, Klingon, or Quenya, feel free to mention it on your cv.* MINDS Department is a highly informal, relatively young team of researchers. We follow participative decision-making principles and, if invited for an interview, you can expect being interviewed and evaluated by all members of the team, irrespective of the rank you are applying for. We put great emphasis on internationalization and high academic standards. Over the last five years, MINDS Department faculty have gone on one-year research stays to Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, University of California Berkeley, or New York University, among others. We regularly publish in JCR-listed journals and publish books in the leading academic presses (e.g. Stanford University Press, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Palgrave, Edward Elgar, Ashgate, Routledge). Some of us are social movements activists (and e.g. serve on the Board of Trustees of Wikimedia Foundation or are engaged in the city movements), some are involved in the start-up culture (mentoring, seed funds, developing own businesses, etc.), and we generally value bringing a diverse experience to the table. We believe that research should be stellar solid and of high quality, but that it also should be fun. We offer flexibility, a lot of independence, and a friendly working culture. The deadline for sending your application is *June, 1*. More details: bit.ly/digital-sociology Feel free to contact me about the position as well. -- ________________________________________________________ <http://nerds.kozminski.edu.pl/> Dariusz Jemielniak, Ph.D. Professor of Management Chair of MINDS (Management in Networked and Digital Societies) Department Kozminski University http://nerds.kozminski.edu.pl <http://nerds.kozminski.edu.pl/> *Recent articles:* - Dariusz Jemielniak, Gwinyai Masukume, Maciej Wilamowski (2019) The Most Influential Medical Journals According to Wikipedia: Quantitative Analysis <https://www.jmir.org/2019/1/e11429/pdf>, *Journal of Medical Internet Research*, 21 (1), pp. e11429 - Dariusz Jemielniak, Aleksandra Przegalinska, Agata Stasik (2018) Anecdotal evidence: understanding organizational reality through organizational humorous tales <http://nerds.kozminski.edu.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/HUMOR-Anecdotal-ev…> *HUMOR: International Journal of Humor Research* 31: 3. 539–561. - Dariusz Jemielniak, Maciej Wilamowski (2017) Cultural Diversity of Quality of Information on Wikipedias <http://crow.kozminski.edu.pl/papers/cultures%20of%20wikipedias.pdf> *Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology* 68: 10. 2460–2470. - Dariusz Jemielniak (2016) Wikimedia Movement Governance: The Limits of A-Hierarchical Organization <http://www.crow.kozminski.edu.pl/papers/wikimedia_governance.pdf> *Journal of Organizational Change Management *29: 3. 361-378. - Dariusz Jemielniak, Eduard Aibar (2016) Bridging the Gap Between Wikipedia and Academia <http://www.crow.kozminski.edu.pl/papers/bridging.pdf> *Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology* 67: 7. 1773-1776. - Dariusz Jemielniak (2016) Breaking the Glass Ceiling on Wikipedia <http://www.crow.kozminski.edu.pl/papers/glass-ceiling.pdf> *Feminist Review *113: 1. 103-108. - Tadeusz Chełkowski, Peter Gloor, Dariusz Jemielniak (2016) Inequalities in Open Source Software Development: Analysis of Contributor’s Commits in Apache Software Foundation Projects <http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/asset?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.01…> , *PLoS ONE* 11: 4. e0152976.
