Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to open submissions for proposals for AoIR 2017: Networked Publics (Tartu, Estonia, 18 - 21 October, 2017). To re-familiarize yourself with the call for proposals and types of submissions solicited, please see here: https://aoir.org/aoir2017/subinfo2017/ [1]. Accepted paper and panel submissions will be included in our open access conference paper archive, Selected Papers of Internet Research (SPIR). SPIR helps us further publicize the work of our members and introduce our research to a wider audience. All submissions must therefore follow our SPIR formatting requirements, which includes a consistent header and style format for the papers that will enable people to easily locate author and title information, identify the papers as part of the AoIR conference. This format is only intended to bring consistency to basic elements (such as typeface and spacing), not to impose any disciplinary constraints. You can download a Word template here: https://aoir.org/aoir2017/aoir2017sub_temp/ [2]. Please note that if you submitted a proposal to the conference through ConfTool last year, you will need to re-register. When submitting, please take the time to read the submission categories and topics carefully. In the interest of diversity and collegiality, each conference participant is limited to presenting one individual paper and one paper in a panel, and to participating in one roundtable. You can be a co-author on additional papers, but you must not be the scheduled presenter of these papers. If you have any questions about the submission process, please email aoir2017@aoir.org. We look forward to seeing your proposals. Click below to go to the submission site: https://www.conftool.com/aoir2017 [3]. We look forward to your proposals and to a vibrant and stimulating conference in Tartu!
