It aims to advance systematic exploration of boundaries and boundary concepts in the context of datafication. It investigates the potentials and limitations of analytical concepts such as boundary objects, boundary work, boundary infrastructures, boundary organisations, and related terms as well as boundaries more broadly. The special issue will include empirical analyses, conceptual/theoretical reflections, and methodological explorations on the interplay between datafication and boundary dynamics.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-NL><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;line-height:13.8pt'><b><span lang=EN>Schedule and Submission</span></b><span lang=en-NL><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN>Abstracts (max. 300 words) and short biographical note (max. 75 words) with specification of section: 31st May 2026</span><span lang=en-NL><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN>Notification of authors/invitation to submit full/short paper: 15th June 2026</span><span lang=en-NL><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN>Submission of full papers: 15th September 2026</span><span lang=en-NL><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN>Publication of special issue: Spring 2027 </span><span lang=en-NL><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN>Please send your abstract and short biographical note by 31st May 2026 to <a href="mailto:boundaryconcepts@gmail.com">boundaryconcepts@gmail.com</a>.
