[Commlist] CFP: Conference on Digital Research Data and Human Sciences

 Digital Research Data and Human Sciences – Diversity of Methods and 
Materials

1st Call for Proposals

University of Jyväskylä, Finland,

December 1–3, 2022



Today, there are many ways in which the human and social sciences use 
digital resources and technology to investigate different aspects of 
human life. As the significance and use of digital resources continually 
expands into new fields of study, there are some disciplines which have 
already been working with digital data for decades. As such, researchers 
now produce and have access to an increasing range of different digital 
materials, offering new opportunities for interdisciplinary scholarly 
work and enabling certain data to be approached from different 
viewpoints and with novel and diverse methodologies.

The Digital Research Data and Human Sciences (DRDHum 2022) conference 
aims to bring together researchers who have different areas of interest 
and expertise to discuss the themes of data compilation and management, 
and to share their knowledge and experience of using digital materials, 
methods, and data analysis tools. We are especially keen for researchers 
and research groups who have implemented interdisciplinary research to 
participate in the event. We are inviting scholars of all ages and 
experience, teachers, graduate students, and any other parties that 
might be interested to participate and contribute to this event.

DRDHum 2022 is organized by the University of Jyväskylä in collaboration 
with FIN-CLARIAH. The event is the second in a series of conferences 
that, postponed once because of COVID, will normally take place every 
other year in one of the FIN-CLARIAN Consortium universities (part of 
CLARIAH Finland – a research infrastructure for social sciences and the 
humanities). The first (D)RDHum Conference was hosted at the University 
of Oulu in 2019, where the focus was specifically on linguistic text 
corpora. The second conference – at the University of Jyväskylä – will 
have a wider scope. Not only will the event look at the use of digital 
resources and technologies in fields such as the social sciences, 
language and communication sciences, and behavioural sciences (for 
instance), but discussions this year are also encouraged to go beyond 
textual data and also look at multimodal forms such as social media 
data, grid databases, and big data.

Submission guidelines

The submission for proposals opens on 1 January 2022.

Authors are invited to submit an abstract for theoretical or empirical 
work (maximum length 500 words), which should indicate the research 
questions, data and methods used, and any (tentative) results if 
applicable. We also offer the opportunity to submit an article for the 
conference publication later in the spring 2022. Further information on 
the publication will be provided in the second call for proposals.
Besides oral and poster presentations, the conference offers a venue for 
thematic workshops and tutorials. Workshops will address a particular 
topic within the general theme of the conference, whereas tutorials can 
deal with specific types of resources, software, or methods. Workshops 
and tutorials can also be designed with specific interest groups in 
mind, such as degree or postgraduate students. The chair of the workshop 
or tutorial will be required to submit an abstract (500 words) 
introducing the proposed topic, the aim of the event and the expected 
audience. A list of those workshops and tutorials which have been 
accepted will then be announced on the conference website. After this, 
submissions to the workshops or tutorials themselves can then be made, 
following further instructions that will have been given by the organizers.
We therefore invite the following types of submission:
1. Abstract for an oral presentation (20 min + 10 min for discussion) or 
poster presentation (500 words)
or
2. Proposal for a workshop or tutorial (500 words).
