[Asis-l] First CALL FOR DOCTORAL FORUM APPLICATIONS AT ISSI 2013

[Richard Hill]

Dear colleagues,

With this email we would like to draw your attention to the Doctoral 
Forum which takes place one day before the 14th International Conference 
on Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI 2013) on July 15th, 2013. The 
primary objective of the Doctoral Forum is to provide doctoral students 
with a forum to present and discuss their research projects with senior 
researchers and fellow students and to develop their relationships with 
other scientists (please see attachment for more details).

If you are a doctoral student working on a scientometric topic, I would 
like to invite you to submit an application of up to 1500 words 
describing your doctoral research project. If you are a scholar at an 
institution which does research on scientometric issues, we would like 
to ask you to forward the enclosed call to the relevant persons. Thank 
you very much for your support.

With kind regards,
Ivana Roche and Christian Schloegl
