[Air-L] CfP: Critical Data and Algorithm Studies (Frontiers in Big Data)

[Katja Mayer]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to point your attention to a current call for papers for a 
special issue to be published with Frontiers in Big Data entitled 
"Critical Data and Algorithm Studies".

Deadlines: 26 March 2019, abstract; 16 September 2019, manuscript.

This special issue is dedicated to bringing together critical expertise 
of scientists in data-driven research areas, who reflect their daily 
routines, their methods, data sources and the social impact of their 
research. We would also like to give space to those experiences coming 
from newly established collaborations of computer scientists with social 
scientists and humanities’ scholars, moreover with policy makers, 
activists, or in citizen science projects. The focus is on the critical 
reflection of scientific methods, data sources, modeling, validation, 
replication, and review procedures including questions of their impact 
regarding social behaviour, power relations, ethics, and accountability, 
thus the performative and normative aspects of data science practices.

We welcome your papers to our peer-reviewed Article Collection. Papers 
can be original research, reviews, or perspectives, among other article 
types. More information:
