> This multi-disciplinary, international conference on e-Research will be
> held at the University of Oxford from 11-13 September 2008. It is being
> organized by a consortium of research projects in association with the
> journal Information Communication and Society (iCS).
>
> The Oxford e-Research Conference 08 seeks to stimulate and inform
> multi-disciplinary research on the development, use and implications of
> information and communication technologies (ICTs), like the Internet, in
> shaping research across the disciplines. It will bring together research
> from key e-Research projects from around the world examining the role of
> the Internet, Web and the Grid in research. The conference seeks to
> facilitate scholarly communication and publication on this topic, and help
> foster a broader public understanding of the significance of this area to
> the sciences and humanities as well as to the public at large.
>
> Anyone with a serious interest in conducting research on the development
> or use of ICTs across the disciplines should attend, as well as those with
> questions about how new research tools might impact the range,
> significance and quality of research. The conference is intended to
> complement and extend the activities of key research projects and
> programmes in this area, representatives of which are among the organizing
> committee.
>
> Topics will include, but not be limited to:
> * Major e-Research initiatives, such as e-infrastructure and
> cyberinfrastructure programmes in Europe and North America;
> * E-Social Science, including social, legal and institutional dynamics
> of e-Research;
> * Case studies of e-Research projects, programmes, and policies;
> * Policy analyses of key issues, ranging from IPR to privacy;
> * Ethical and legal analyses of innovations in e-Research, focusing on
> risks as well as approaches to resolving ethical dilemmas;
> * Research on e-collaboration, including new platforms for scientific
> collaboration, such as those using social networking sites;
> * Survey research and in-depth interviews focused on the attitudes and
> practices of researchers;
> * Usability of e-Research tools, and related issues of human-computer
> interaction;
> * Showcasing new methods, practices, and tools afforded by new ICTs;
> * Research on the social shaping and impact of e-Research;
> * Take-up, diffusion and sustainability of e-Research infrastructures;
> * Technical advances of relevance to any stage of research, from
> agenda-setting and budgeting to data collection, analysis, dissemination
> and evaluation of research;
> * Social and technical perspectives on innovations in metadata, the
> development of ontologies, and the semantic Web;
> * Overviews and comparisons of particular schools of research,
> including Web Science, e-Social Science, e-Research, and e-Infrastructure
> communities.
>
> Individuals may submit abstracts, or drafts of full papers; workshop or
> panel proposals; and demonstration projects, which can be showcased at the
> conference. Top papers presented at the conference will have an
> opportunity to be prioritized for review by the journal iCS.
