[ecrea] CFP: Social media research symposium in Jyväskylä

Mon Jun 15 19:28:58 GMT 2015



Welcome to the Social Media Research Symposium in Jyväskylä University
on NOv. 20, 2015.

CFP: Research Symposium
“Successes and failures in studying social media: issues of methods and
ethics” at University of Jyväskylä,
November 20, 2015

Organized by the Department of Communication and Social Media Research
Institute (SOMERI)

Online and social media research are perhaps the most problematic of
research areas from the methods and ethics perspectives as there are no
rules of thumb to be applied to the range of research cases, web sites,
platforms and laws of specific countries.

We invite researchers to the one-day symposium from various fields
connected to quantitative and qualitative social media research,
especially surrounding the theme focus on methods (experiences and
innovations) and ethics of social media research.

We encourage both experienced and young scholars to participate in
sharing their research. The abstracts of Ph.D. candidates will be
evaluated separately.

The best papers will be published in a (double peer reviewed) guest
edited special issue of the international open access journal Media and
Communication. Journal info:
http://www.cogitatiopress.com/ojs/index.php/mediaandcommunication

The abstract should be between 300-400 (max) words. Deadline for
abstracts is August 15, 2015 and they should be sent by e-mail to
(niina.niskala /at/ jyu.fi) <mailto:(niina.niskala /at/ jyu.fi)>. Authors will be
informed of abstract selection by August 31, 2015 and given further
instructions. Participants who wish to be published should prepare a
full paper by the time of the symposium.

General registrations to the symposium starts May 15, 2015 and ends
October 11, 2015. Register by sending an e-mail to (niina.niskala /at/ jyu.fi)
