And you are warmly invited to return to CaTaC in 2016! - charles == CaTaC?16: Culture, Technology, Communication: Common world, different futures? Venue: University of West London Dates: June 16-18, 2016 Conference Co-organizers: * Jos? Abdelnour-Nocera, Local host(School of Computing and Technology, University of West London) * Charles Ess, CaTaC Co-chair (Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo) * Maja van der Velden, CaTaC Co-chair (Department of Informatics, University of Oslo) Programme Committee * Herbert Hrachovec, (Philosophy Department, University of Vienna) * Michele M. Strano, Program Chair (Communication Studies, Bridgewater College) The tenth biennial conference on ?Culture, Technology, Communication? ? (CaTaC)?16 ? will take place on June 15-17, 2016, at the Brentford site of the University of West London. The Brentford site and nearby Ealing Campus (including hotels and restaurants) are very conveniently located for arrival via Heathrow as well as from London by tube. (For initial orientation, please see: ) CaTaC'16 will be open for papers located within culture, technology, and communication, applying different theoretical and methodological perspectives, genres, and styles. In addition, CaTaC'16 will have three themes: * Culture, Technology, and Communication: Is Another Design Possible? Design is complicit in the creation and sustainment of our unjust, unsafe, and unsustainable world. The technologies, products, and services we design today will shape the lives of generations to come, human as well as nonhuman. For this theme we invite papers that critically explore technologies used today and alternative technology designs and design perspectives that make other futures possible. * Culture, Technology, and Communication in Design for Development For this theme we invite papers that report on and address the main challenges for design and innovation in the Global South. We would also like to see good examples of design for community development in the Global North to understand points of convergence and divergence with experiences in the Global South. * Culture, Technology, and Communication in Practice? We invite papers that have the practice of information and communication technologies in specific cultural contexts as their main focus. Examples include: ? Cultural diversity and global ICTs , e.g., global health information systems, Wikipedia, social media, surveillance and sousveillance, Big Data collection and analysis, etc. ? Global and local cultures of computing , e.g. outsourcing, global development teams; the identity of migrants and the experience of migration; appropriation, creolization, hybridization between cultures and also between technologies; ? The construction of identity using online social media, gaming, and blogging platforms; ? Political activism through social media vis-?-vis governmental and corporate censorship, control of access, etc.; ? Privacy issues in media environments that encourage public identities; ? Additional ethical issues evoked in the design, implementation, usages, and (counter-) responses to ICTs across diverse cultural contexts, especially vis-?-vis efforts to sustain and enhance local cultural identities, practices, norms, etc. Please see our website, . Additional conference details, including registration fees, and keynote speakers, will be announced soon on the conference website. Both short (3-5 pages) and long (10-15 pages) original papers are sought for presentation. Panel proposals addressing a specific theme or topic are also encouraged: please include names of committed participants and (provisional) presentation titles. Important Dates: Paper submission for peer-review: February 15, 2016 Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2016 Final papers and panel descriptions due for Conference Proceedings: May 1, 2016 The Conference Proceedings will be published on the conference website with an ISBN number. Authors retain copyright to their papers and are welcome to attach a Creative Commons license indication on their work. Additional conference details, including registration fees, and keynote speakers, will be announced soon on the conference website.

The purpose of this comparison is to contribute to our understanding of the communication of scientific knowledge produced in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to provide some reflections on the potential benefits of the articulation of regional indexing exercises into WoS for a better understanding of geographic and disciplinary contributions. How is the regional level of ScieLO CI related to the global one of WoS? In WoS, LAC authors are integrated at the global level in international networks; for example, as postdocs. In SciELO CI, south-south collaboration is more central, and the focus is shifted towards social problems. The articulation of SciELO into WoS may improve the international standardization (for example, of referencing) in the regional journals, but comes at the price of losing independence of the journal inclusion criteria. ?Preprint available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.02453 ?Apologies for cross-postings ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Loet Leydesdorff University of Amsterdam loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The theme highlights the introduction of a new conference focus on Applied Research, which recognizes that basic research in information science is also inspired by, and/or connected to, information practice contexts. 8 Preconference Workshops 40 Contributed Papers 18 Panel Discussions Plenary sessions: Aaron Doering -Building Community Online: Connecting People, Places, and Ideas through Innovative Design- Doering is associate professor in the LT Media Lab at the University of Minnesota, currently holds the Bonnie Westby Huebner Endowed Chair in Education and Technology. His research involves the design, development and evaluation of online and mobile teaching environments; technology integration in K-12 settings; and the innovative use of technology to support teaching and learning. Sarah Morton -Creating Impact: Issues, Challenges and Solutions- Morton works at the intersection of social research, policy and practice in a range of leadership roles. She is co-director of the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Also within the University of Edinburgh, Sarah is the knowledge exchange specialist for the Centre for Community and Public Health Sciences and an impact analyst. She is a director of What Works Scotland and she is also an associate of the research unit for research utilization at the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement and was a member of the Scottish Funding Council working group on Knowledge Exchange and Public Policy. Her research has investigated the process assessing the impact of research on policy and practice. She has a specialty in contribution analysis and uses this approach in a variety of projects, often working with non-academic partners, and also to assess the impact of research.

We believe that making the ASIS&T Bulletin available in as many languages as possible is in line with one of the goals of ASIS&T articulated in its draft strategic plan (See Goal 2.3 in: https://www.asist.org/files/governance/ASIST_Strategic_Plan_Draft_Sept_2015_v7.pdf). In order to recruit ASIS&T members who are willing to translate tables of contents of the ASIS&T Bulletin (and receive credit - your name will appear on the Bulletin page together with your translation), we have designed a short questionnaire. If you would like to volunteer, please visit the questionnaire site: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NXJFV67. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Information collected through the questionnaire will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any third parties. An aggregate summary of responses will be shared only with members of the Bulletin Board and we will use your email address to contact you in the future. If you have any questions, you can reach me at arorissa at albany.edu. Thank you.
