It would be appreciated if you could forward this call for chapters to anyone who might be interested.

 

Call for Chapters:  Handbook of Research on Political Campaigning in the Computer Age

 

CFP URL:  https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/3478

 

Purpose

 

Technology and particularly the Internet have brought about many changes in the realm of politics.  Politicians and candidates use their own websites and social network profiles to get their message out.  Politicians use political engineering and computational politics including data analytics to increase the effectiveness of their campaign.  Aspects of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science can be applied to political campaigning. 

 

Potential Topics

 

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Political Campaigns in the Computer Age

• online campaigning

• online campaigning using websites and webpages

• online campaigning using social networking

• online campaigning using multimedia tools

• online campaigning using blogs

• online campaigning using vlogs

• political debates on the Internet

• virtual town hall

• virtual war room

• online fake news and cyberlibel against politicians

• case studies

• future research directions

 

Engineering, Math, and Science in Political Campaigning

• political engineering (application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science to politics)

• computational politics (application of computer science or mathematics to politics)

Note:  These new interdisciplinary fields were first defined in this research paper:

Please submit your chapter in Microsoft Word format through the eEditorial Discovery® system by November 30, 2018.  Please use the following link when submitting your chapter:

 

https://www.igi-global.com/submission/submit-chapter/?projectid=b3f266fe-435a-439e-9ebf-b4c43da4c9d2 

 

If you aren’t sure if your chapter fits within the scope of the book, you can send a one paragraph abstract to the editor.  The editor will get back to you within two days about whether your chapter fits within the scope of the book.  The full chapter will still be reviewed.

 

One or more of the author(s) of each submitted chapter will be expected to review two other submitted chapters.  Every person who reviews a chapter will be listed in the editorial advisory board, which will be published in the book.

 

Important Dates

 

Initial chapter submission deadline:  November 30, 2018

Chapter review results:  January 31, 2019

Chapter revisions submission deadline:  February 28, 2019

Final acceptance results:  March 21, 2019

Final chapter and forms submission deadline:  April 5, 2019
