For those of you struggling with a last minute submission ... a reprieve. The deadline for submissions has been extended to Sunday Feb. 20th, 2005. Earlier submissions accepted! We will begin to process abstracts for review starting this Wednesday. I know the website now says submissions are open until Feb. 21st, but given time zones, the official deadline is Midnight Feb. 20th -- your midnight. The site is only open to the 21st to prevent problems across time zones. Please submit by Sunday the 20th. /Caroline ------------------------------------ Association of Internet Researchers Abstract Deadline: Sunday Feb. 20th, 2005 Presentations can include: -- Single papers (abstract max of 750 words) -- Aesthetic presentations (abstract max of 750 words) -- Roundtables (abstract max of 250 words) -- Pre-conference workshop (abstract max of 1000 words) -- Multiple Paper sessions (abstract max of 1000 words) Call for Papers Announcement INTERNET GENERATIONS The Internet has been a rapidly evolving phenomenon, so much so that we may talk about generations of the Internet. With everything moving faster in 'Internet time,' we have arguably spanned many technological Internet generations within a single human generation: from the birth of computing to the first online communications; from the beginnings of email to the enriched worlds of chat, virtual worlds and mobile text messaging; from the workplace to home and school; from optional to all-but-mandatory; and from mainframe to desktop to laptop to mobile devices. We can also talk about contextual Internet generations, from the early pioneers who count themselves among those communicating online before the 1980s; to the early adopters of the 1980s in university and proprietary systems; to latecomers finding the need to adopt computing and technology use as part of their daily work; to the current and coming generations that will not know a time without a computer in the household, a mobile phone in their hand, and a lap- or palmtop and an MP3 player an essential part of their daily wear. This massive change in technologies, and in work and social practices suggests many avenues of interest for Internet research. CALL FOR PAPERS We call for papers from a wide perspective of disciplines, methodologies, and communities. We invite papers that address the theme of Internet Generations including TOPICS such as: - Histories of the Internet: human, social, technical, and/or cultural stories and histories - Internet use by generation, e.g., by era of technology, by children and seniors, or by age of user, etc. - Individual, group, organizational, or community use, adoption, or diffusion of the Internet and its practices - Development in use of languages, new vocabularies, social roles, rules, and etiquette - Societal impacts of and on the Internet and its evolution - Perspectives on the Internet and social change in a changing world - Internet expansion across divides, borders, nationalities, etc. - Mapping the course of Internet connectivity - Prospects for the future: Next generation Internet We invite submissions for papers, panels, and demonstrations of work on topics related to the conference theme of Internet Generations. Sessions at the conference will be established that specifically address the conference theme. We particularly call for innovative, exciting, and unexpected takes on the conference theme. We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and/or aesthetic aspects of the Internet beyond the conference theme. In all cases, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well as international collaborations from both AoIR and non-AoIR members. MULTI-PAPER SESSIONS/PANELS Submit one entry for the multi-paper session as a whole. This should be entered by the person organizing the session, and who will be the contact for the session. Describe the rationale and intent of the overall session and include short abstracts for each paper to be presented. GRADUATE STUDENT PROPOSALS AND PARTICIPATION We strongly encourage submissions of proposals from graduate students, and papers for consideration for a special Student Award. Students should note their student status with submission. Students wishing to be a candidate for the Student Award must send a full final paper to the conference organizers by June 1, 2005. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS We invite proposals for a limited number of pre-conference workshops which will provide participants with in-depth, hands-on and/or creative opportunities. Proposals should be no more than 1000 words, and should clearly outline the purpose, methodology, structure, participant costs, equipment and minimal attendance required, as well as the relevance of the workshop to the conference as a whole. Proposals will be accepted if they demonstrate that the workshop will add significantly to the overall program in terms of thematic depth, hands-on experience, or local opportunities for scholarly or artistic connections. CONTACT INFORMATION If you have questions about the conference, program, or AoIR, please contact the following people. Please use a subject line that clearly distinguishes your message for spam!

Dear all, I guess that my question is more for the conference organisers, but I'm curious to know about opinions in the community as well. Can I post my proposal for IR 6.0 online? Being a blogger I'd love to post my proposal online and I'd do it immediately after submitting it for the review - this is my usual practice of sharing work-in-progress as early as possible. Of course, this could interfere the review process, so I'd like to know what are the accepted practices in AOIR regarding it. Lilia Efimova blog.mathemagenic.com
i dunno what others will say, but i was putting my coauthored paper proposal online eventually, if i haven't done so already. i do think that blogging it could be an issue because content would be distributed in rss. i think it would be best to put it up on a page, then link to that instead of blogging it directly. my concern is that perhaps the reviewers already subscribe to your feed, and that probably wouldn't be ideal. mine is going up on a wiki, with other ones of mine.

It's up to Caroline Haythornthwaite to have a definitive opinion for this year's conference. My own concern is the potential to interfere with the blind review process -- the reviewers who might be best qualified to assess a paper you wrote might also be those most likely to read your blog. I would be more comfortable myself with posting the proposals after acceptance or rejection has been decided, myself. Nancy

my concern is that perhaps the reviewers already subscribe to your feed, and that probably wouldn't be ideal.
This is why I'm wondering. Posting something under review online is a risk (unconvinience :) already, but blogging it amplifies chances to be found. Given that I'm writing on weblogs and weblog research world is small even announcing it in my weblog amplifies chances of being found by reviewers. Personally I don't mind (the world is too small for blind reviews anyway :), but don't want to create extra problems for the conference organisers...

I'm always inclined to think this too, but I can't tell you how many times I thought I knew whose work I was reviewing only to find out I was wrong... -- Nancy Baym http://www.ku.edu/home/nbaym Communication Studies, University of Kansas Bailey Hall, 1440 Jayhawk Blvd., Room 102, Lawrence, KS 66045-7574, USA Association of Internet Researchers: http://aoir.org
I'd say that we don't own the copyright in any way, so you should be free to put your abstract up wherever you like. However, I do agree with others that the risk to you is its public nature. You essentially give up the blind review if you post the abstract. You many not care about that, and indeed reviewers may "guess" who you are anyway, and/or find you online via other kinds of keyword searches. But, reviewers may care about the blind aspect of their review. You may also want to consider the downside of posting an abstract that might be rejected. So, I'd recommend following Nancy's suggestion of putting up the abstract after acceptance/rejection. It will only be 6-8 weeks wait after the closing date. /Caroline --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite (haythorn@uiuc.edu) www.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn Associate Professor phone: (217) 244-7453 Graduate School of Library and Information Science fax: (217) 244-3302 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 17 Feb 2005, Lilia Efimova wrote:
