We are very pleased to announce a doctoral forum on quantitative

University of Wolverhampton, UK.

This event, endorsed by the European Chapter of the American Society for 
Information Science and Technology (ASIST) 
(http://www.asis.org/Chapters/europe/), is the first of two events that 
the European Chapter is endorsing, in celebration of the 75^th 
anniversary of ASIST.
The European Chapter is also endorsing Libraries In The Digital Age 
(LIDA) to be held on 18 -- 22 June 2012 in Zadar, Croatia 
(http://ozk.unizd.hr/lida/).

The Doctoral Forum will begin with short introductory presentations by 
Prof Mike Thelwall and Dr Jonathan Levitt on the application of 
quantitative methods to Information Science.
However, its main emphasis is on the students presenting and receiving 
feedback on their research and on meeting other doctoral students.  
Doctoral students who are either using, or considering using, 
quantitative methods in at least part of their doctoral research are 
encouraged to apply.

The Doctoral Forum is open to all interested parties, including those 
who don't present.
