Elisabeth Lex (Graz University of Technology, Austria)
Christoph Trattner (MODUL University Vienna, Austria)

Objectives & Topics:
====================
We invite original submissions addressing all aspects of social
networks analysis and digital humanities. Online social networks and
social media sites enable numerous users to collaboratively create
online information by producing new content and by establishing new
links between people, information, and services. At the same time,
these user leave digital traces on the Web, which provide unparalleled
research opportunities for studying questions in sociology,
psychology, behavioral science, or political and economic science.
While the study of human digital traces has attracted attention from
different communities, understanding human social behavior via
non-invasive methods remains a challenging task and an open problem.
Tackling this challenge requires new methods, instruments and
techniques as well as an interdisciplinary effort from researchers
across disciplines such as computer science, humanities, social
sciences and others. This workshop seeks original submissions on
either methods or practices at the crossroads of these various
disciplines.

We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are
not limited to:

** Studies of online communities
** Communities of practice, online participation
** Graph partitioning and community discovery
** Link prediction
** Location-aware social networks and mobility
** Expertise and trust in online social networks
** Crowdsourcing and social media
** Information diffusion in social networks
** Social influence
** Opinion formation in social networks
** Social bots and their role in shaping of public opinion
** Studies of human culture based on online social networks and
encyclopedia, computational methods to assess human culture along
different dimensions (such as language, food, music, literature etc.)
** Using social media to study psychological and social phenomena, and
corresponding methods to assess such phenomena via web-based
investigations
** Biases in social media, such as population biases, channel bias,
self-selection bias, etc and computational methods for assessment and
correction
** The study of limitations of tools used in digital humanities,
extension of traditional source criticism into the development of
systematic "tool criticism"
** Social and individual inequalities on the web, e.g. gender or race
disparities, computational methods and instruments to assess and track
inequalities
** Studies of political processes and dynamics on the web, such as
elections, political unrest, grassroots movements
** Predictions with social media, e.g. stock markets, spread of
language, culture, memes or diseases
** Longitudinal studies of social phenomena and social change on the web
** Computational methods to assess and improve social and/or
individual well-being via the web
** Studies investigating the role and causal impact of algorithms in
facilitating social interactions on the web
