[Commlist] CfP MISDOOM 2022 - 4th Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media

*Call for Papers - 4th Multidisciplinary International Symposium 
on Disinformation in Open Online Media
October 11-12, 2022
Hosted by Boise State University, Idaho, USA*
*
*
After three successful editions, the Multidisciplinary International 
Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM) returns for a 
4th edition, this time hosted by Boise State University on October 
11-12, 2022.  Depending on the pandemic status, the conference may move 
to online.

The symposium brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, 
including communication science, computer science, computational social 
science, political science, psychology, journalism, and media studies, 
as well as industry and practitioners in journalism and online media.
The symposium has a strong multidisciplinary character and aims to cater 
to the habits of different disciplines.

*Symposium Topics*
Participants can discuss and contribute to the following (non-exclusive 
list of) topics:

Cross-platform campaigns and their impact (e.g., diffusion of 
disinformation and manipulation, observations of campaigns and 
strategies, communication strategies, hate speech)
Approaches to studying misinformation (e.g., qualitative approaches, 
case studies, quantitative approaches, experiments)
User involvement with misinformation on various platforms (e.g., 
engagement, viewership)
Counter-measures on mis- and disinformation and manipulation (e.g., 
censorship policies, behavioral changes, education, professional 
codices, legal actions)
Factors that lead to belief in misinformation and correction of those 
false beliefs (e.g., political polarization, motivated reasoning, 
confirmation bias)
Social networking platforms, censorship policies, and impacts (e.g. 
policies to counter hate speech, health misinformation)
Trending topics in mis- and disinformation research (e.g., 
health-related misinformation)
Automated fact-checking and misinformation detection
Argumentation reasoning for misinformation detection
Models for misinformation diffusion
Robustness of automated fact-checkers (e.g., AI-generated 
misinformation, generating adversarial examples for automatic 
fact-checkers, transparency, and explainability)
Human computation approaches for misinformation detection 
(crowdsourcing, human-machine interaction)
Information quality (information quality dimensions, metrics, ethics of 
information quality)
Industry
Industry is also invited to participate in the conference by submitting 
a contribution describing their approach to countering or detecting 
misinformation.

*Submission Instructions:* Given that we welcome both social scientists 
and computer scientists, and that the publication strategies of these 
fields differ, we solicit two types of contributions that, upon 
acceptance, result in the same opportunity to present at MISDOOM:

Full papers
Full papers to be published with Springer LNCS proceedings. Up to 15 
pages (including references) in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science (LNCS) format describing original unpublished and new research. 
The work should be structured like a research paper, and cover the 
context of the problem studied, the research question, 
approach/methodology, and results in 6 to 15 pages. It should be 
formatted according to the LNCS Word or LaTeX template. Such submissions 
will be judged based on scientific quality and relevance for the MISDOOM 
symposium.

Extended Abstracts
Authors can also choose to submit an Extended Abstract instead of a full 
paper. This extended abstract should be up to 500 words (not including 
references), and should briefly describe the work that will be 
presented. The extended abstract can be based on previously published 
work, ongoing work in progress, or even a new research idea or agenda. 
No template is provided, but at least the title, authors, their 
affiliation, the text of the extended abstract, and, especially in the 
case of previously published work, reference(s) should be included. 
Submissions are non-archival, and not formally published. Authors should 
also submit an abstract for the conference program of up to 150 words. 
Extended abstract submissions must add the suffix “(Extended Abstract)” 
at the end of their title.

*Important Note about Submissions*
Both contribution types (full papers and extended abstracts) must 
specify the discipline they are contributing to as keyword(s) in 
Easychair at the time of submission (they should enter at least one of 
the two keywords “computer science” or “social science” in the keyword box).
