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

Antropologicum (https://www.collantropol.hr/antropo), and Contemporary
