Wed Jun 14 19:06:28 GMT 2023





The University of Dubrovnik, in cooperation with the European Digital Media Observatory and the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, invites you to submit a paper for the 16th Dubrovnik Media Days International Scientific Conference:

*Disinformation Research: Current Trends and Perspectives*

*September 29-30, 2023, Dubrovnik, Croatia*

Call for Papers

With the proliferation of social media and other online platforms, the spread of mis- and dis-information has become an ever-increasing problem. The spread of mis- and dis-information can have a number of negative consequences, including damage to reputation, harm to individuals and society, and undermining of democratic processes and institutions. Understanding the problem in all its facets and extents entails considering the specific political and cultural contexts, and rests significantly on functional access to platform data.

This conference is intended to provide a forum for scholars, researchers, and practitioners from diverse disciplines to share insights and perspectives on current trends in disinformation research.

Confirmed keynote speakers are:

Prof. Samantha Bradshaw, American University, USA

Prof. Claes H. de Vreese, University of Amsterdam, NL

The conference seeks submissions that address a broad range of topics related to disinformation research, including but not limited to:

The role of social media platforms in the spread of disinformation
Approaches to detecting and debunking disinformation
The impact of disinformation on public opinion and behavior
The use of technology in countering disinformation
Methods for analyzing data from social media
Computer techniques for detecting and analyzing disinformation
Online data collection methods for disinformation research
Legal and policy approaches to dealing with disinformation
Ethical considerations in disinformation research
We encourage you to submit papers that draw upon rigorous scientific theory and methodology and offer new insights and perspectives on this pressing issue. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, we hope to foster a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of disinformation and develop more effective strategies to combat it.

We invite submissions of original research papers, case studies, and critical reviews of existing research on the above topics. Papers should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length, including references and appendices. References must conform to the APA Style of Referencing, 7TH edition.
