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 (DRDHum2022) 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.

DRDHum2022 is organized by the University of Jyväskyläin 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-CLARIN Consortium universities (part of 
CLARIAH Finland – a research infrastructure for social sciences and the 
humanities). The first (D)RDHumConference 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.

Submissions of individual papers, posters, workshops and tutorials are 
welcome but not limited to:

·Humanities and social research in the fields of e.g.

odigital media studies

odigital journalism studies

oplatform studies

odigital gender and queer studies

odigital cultural and ethnic studies

odigital discourse analysis

osigned, spoken and written linguistics

ogeographic information systems

onetwork studies

odigital consumption

ogerontology and care work

odigital history

oemerging digital technologies

odigital pedagogies

·Theoretical and methodological aspects of digital humanities and social 
studies, e.g.

ocomputational approaches

ocorpora and corpus analyses

ocorpus-assisted and other digital discourse analyses

omixing quantitative and qualitative methodologies

odata compilation and management

otools for digital data analysis

*Submission guidelines *

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.

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/s of the 
workshop or tutorial will be required 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 submissions:

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).

Access the submission forms through the conference website at: 
https://www.jyu.fi/en/congress/drdhum2022/submission-of-proposals 
<https://www.jyu.fi/en/congress/drdhum2022/submission-of-proposals>

3. We also offer the opportunity to submit *an article* for a 
publication to be issued at the conference. These peer-reviewed articles 
will be included in proceedings of the Digital Research Data and Human 
Sciences Conference 2022. The publication will be openly and permanently 
available online. The instructions for the authors will be available on 
the conference website at the beginning of February.
