> OVERVIEW
> Many organisations, including governments, are now investing considerable
> resources into trying to measure both quantitatively and qualitatively the
> success and impact of their activities. This has given rise to a whole new
> industry that conducts longitudinal studies and feeds a new interest in
> global rankings. Governments are using their country?s position in these
> rankings as an indication of attraction, and a rise in global rankings is
> good news unless this represents a negative indicator, such as pollution or
> press freedom.
>
> Today one of the most pervasive indicators of national reputation is soft
> power, with organisations such as Portland developing rankings for
> institutions such as the Annenberg School of Communication, the British
> Council and the government of Wales; while Monocle magazine publishes its
> own soft power rankings at the end of each year. Other rankings measure a
> range of issues, including social progress, innovation, happiness, food
> security, Internet access and connection speeds, and pop culture exports.
> In addition, regions and cities are also analysed in an effort to
> understand the growing influence of sub-national actors. Rankings compare
> cities according to their liveability, global connectivity, friendliness,
> cultural diversity and creativity. A further development is the use of
> metrics to rank people within prescribed social demographics.
>
> The methodology behind such metrics has attracted less attention than the
> rankings themselves, though understanding this is crucial for our
> interpretation of the data. For instance some have argued that China?s soft
> power and social progress rankings would be far higher if they were
> measured according to values endorsed by the Chinese government rather than
> by the more liberal norms of OECD institutions. Moreover, measurement
> itself reveals little about the emotional response of audiences to cultural
> products or their engagement with political institutions. Clearly, we need
> to pay more attention to qualitative rather than quantitative research if
> we wish to know how and why audiences engage with a particular country or
> government.
>
> This special issue examines critically the current fascination with
> indexing, mapping, ranking and metrics as they apply to nations, regions,
> municipalities, publications and even citizens. Papers might address the
> topic of indexing from a range of disciplinary perspectives including media
> industry metrics, cultural policy studies, soft power and public/cultural
> diplomacy, international communications, and audience research.
>
> The editors are interested in scholarly papers that address any of the
> following topics:
>
>
> The value of surveys and rankings in international relations and
> communications
>
> The global business of producing comparative metrics
>
> Use of such metrics in international and national media reports
>
> Use of such metrics in evaluating academic reputations and
> institutions
>
> Policy implications of metric driven comparisons
>
> The methodology and management of indexing, mapping and ranking
>
> The use and abuse of big data, and the transparency of data
>
> Cultural trade data collections and cultural statistics
>
> The reliability and functionality of user recommendation sites and
> search engine rankings
>
> The use of algorithms and social credit scores to manage individuals

> In the more than 60 years since the founding of artificial intelligence
> (AI) as a formal academic discipline, rapid advances in technology have
> driven an enormous increase in interest in the field of study. AI
> subfields, including machine learning, neural networks, and the social
> implications of AI, have initiated new approaches to research and answering
> emergent questions. Of particular interest is the study of AI at its
> intersection with the study of communication.
>
>
> Like AI, communication, too, overlaps with other fields like sociology,
> anthropology, economics, computer science, among others, while focusing on
> human communication in its various forms. Despite an increasing scholarly
> attention of artificial intelligence (AI), AI studies remain largely
> unexplored in society at large concerning social, political, cultural, and
> ethical aspects of machine intelligence, interactions among agents, and
> social artifacts. This special issue tackles the long-discussed research
> areas with special emphasis on conditions, components, and consequences of
> cognitive, attitudinal, affective, and behavioral dimensions toward
> communicating AI.
>
>
> Specifically, this special issue examines the following issues but are not
> limited to:
>
> ? communicative practices between humans and digital interlocutors
>
> ? interpreting social adoption of AI as technology acceptance and/or
> diffusion of innovation
>
> ? integration of artificial entities into political, health, science,
> environmental, and risk communication
>
> ? incorporation of AI into journalism, news, and civic and community
> life
>
> ? impact of machine learning-based algorithmic content recommendation
> in social media (e.g., filter bubble)
>
> ? social bots or fake accounts in social media empowered by AI and
> their influences on public opinion
>
> ? cultural discourse surrounding digital and robotic interlocutors
>
> ? critical perspectives of communicating AI in society and
> societization of AI
>
> ? reinterpretations and representations of humans as digital entities
>
> ? legal, ethical, and policy implications concerning AI, algorithmic
> content and/or systems
>
> ? communication about AI and the explanation of advances in the field
>
> Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies are encouraged.
