****** Web Science 2017 Conference Details ****

*Call for Papers and Abstracts*

The Web Science conference is a unique venue where different disciplines
are brought together in a creative and critical dialogue with the aim of
understanding the Web. It welcomes participation from all fields including
(but not limited to) art, anthropology, computer and information sciences,
communication, economics, humanities, informatics, law, linguistics,
philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. 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.

   data
   - Detecting, preventing and predicting anomalies in Web data
   - Data curation and stewardship in Web Science
   - Sharing Web research data, Web archiving, and scholarly uses of Web
   archives
   - The psychological, sociological, legal and technological aspects
   related to the temporal and spatial dimensions of the web as a repository
   of information



*Web practices of individuals, collectives, institutions, and platforms:*

   - Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web



*Submission*Web Science 2017 is a very selective conference with a rigorous
review process. Reviewing will be single-blind (authors are given on
submissions; reviewers are anonymous). 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 especially significant
 conclusions and should be well on top of the current literature in the
field as evidenced by appropriate referencing. Full papers should be
original work that has not been previously published. Full papers are
presented through regular talks.The program committee may decide to
recommend full papers that were rejected as such to be accepted as short
papers, if the authors agree.


*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 appropriate
references. Short papers should be original work that has not been
previously published. Short papers are assigned short talks.


*Extended abstracts* (poster submissions) are ~ 2 pages long, ACM double
column. Accepted extended abstracts will be included into the WebSci17
proceedings and presented as part of the Web Science 2017 poster track
(note the diverging submission dates below). The poster track is a forum to
foster interactions among researchers and practitioners by allowing them to
present new and innovative work in-progress. Submitted abstracts are
expected to be aligned with one or more of the relevant topics to the Web
Science 2017 community.

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.
