Student Papers must now be received by Monday, September 1, 2014. Please feel free to re-distribute. 2014 ASIS&T SIG/MET Student Paper Contest Are you tired of preparing papers which immediately migrate into your professors' files and have not been seen ever since? Recover your papers and give them a life and a great opportunity for yourself. Send your most promising papers to the 2014 ASIST SIG/MET Student paper contest where you have the chance to present your work in front of an interested audience, discuss it with established researchers, and win the ASIS&T SIG/MET Best Student Paper Award. ** This is the fourth annual student paper contest for SIG/MET, the Special Interest Group for the measurement of information production and use(http://www.asis.org/SIG/met.html)of the Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T ). The contest is designed to recognize promising student research relating to the measurement of information, publication, and research and gives students a forum to meet the leaders of the field. _Purpose_ SIG/MET seeks to encourage the development and networking opportunities of all those interested in the measurement of information. It is holding this contest to foster student growth and promote the generation of new ideas and research in metric-related topics, including bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics, altmetrics and other related domains. _Eligibility_ The first author of the paper entered into this contest must be a full-time student at the time of submission, irrespective of ASIS&T or SIG/MET membership. Only solo or first authored student manuscripts will be accepted, in order to ensure that the student made significant contributions to the work. SIG/MET reserves the right to request proof of enrollment as part of the submission and evaluation process. Submissions should not have been published work, although they may be submitted to a journal at the time of submission to the contest. _Theme_ Papers should discuss theories, methods, policies, case studies, etc. on aspects of the measurement of information production and use. Topics could include, but are not limited to, the following core areas: ?Metric-Related Theory ?Methods and new techniques ?Citation and co-citation analysis ?Indicators ?Webometrics ?Information visualization ?Research policy ?Productivity ?Journals, databases and electronic publications ?Collaboration/Co-authorship ?Patent analysis ?Knowledge and topic diffusion ?Altmetrics *_Selection_* Papers will be reviewed by SIG/MET officers and advisors to the SIG/MET workshop. At least one winner will be chosen. In the past, we have also given commendation to other particularly outstanding papers. Selection criteria include those that would be considered in traditional peer review: that is, the quality of the research, the presentation of the results, and the originality of the research question. _Prizes_ The winner will be awarded a one-year individual membership to ASIS&T and a cash prize, sponsored by Elsevier. If of sufficient merit and pending available funds, two winners may be announced: one for the best first-authored paper and one for the best sole-authored paper. Authors of highly rated papers will be invited to submit a short biographical piece to be featured on the SIG/MET website. In addition, these authors may be invited to present their research under their own expense at the SIG/MET pre-conference workshop at the 2014 Annual ASIS&T Meeting. _Format_ Submissions can be of any length and format, but should ideally reflect typical standards of a journal article (i.e., approximately 6,000 words and in an appropriate citation style for the social sciences). _Submission & Deadline_ Authors are invited to submit manuscripts by *midnight* *EST on Monday September 1, 2014*, to the following website:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmetspc2014 The students will be notified about the results by September 1, 2014.

This is an opportunity for scholars to fine-tune position papers and works-in-progress as they are informed via the workshop discussions and activities, and brainstorm about methodological approaches to studying trust in the context of government and corporate use of big data, emerging technologies, and globalized infrastructures. Participants who do not present a work-in-progress or position paper, but are in attendance as a general workshop participant, will have the opportunity to further develop ideas and interests that are related to information policy, ethics, and trust. This workshop will enable participants to engage, challenge, support, and encourage each other on questions such as: the importance of trust; theorizing the concept of trust; conceptualizing trust around a set of relationships; understanding trust in the relationship between citizens and the state; reconciling trust with NSA (and other agency) surveillance; trust in international or intra-national state to state relationships; and trust in other communities, including between and among dominant and underrepresented groups in society. We will address questions such as: ?How are researchers conceptualizing trust in the age of data? ?How can scholars investigate infrastructures of trust? ?Are understandings of trust shifting? If so, with what consequences, in which contexts? ?When is trust justified? When is it not justified? Should decision-makers focus on and build trustworthiness rather than (mere) trust? ?What are the economic, political and legal implications of trust in the age of data (big and small)? ?How does policy design build/undermine trust? ?What are the ethics of trust in the age of data? This workshop aims to bring together scholars from across the information science fields (LIS, Archives, Museums, HCI, Law, Policy) to lend their respective lens?s to a critical exploration of trust. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: All interested researchers, graduate students, and information professionals are invited to submit a proposal for: 1) works-in-progress research papers, 2) short position statements and/or short information policy/trust scenarios (e.g., critical reflection on policies already in place or developing new policy), 3) abstracts describing possible existing or novel methodological approaches to researching the relationships between data and trust in a range of contexts. IMPORTANT DATES: September 1, 2014: Submission due date for extended abstracts or position papers September 20, 2014: Notification of acceptance October 15, 2014: Submit presentations (drafts, outlines, slides, etc.) REGISTRATION FEES: https://www.asis.org/asist2014/seminars_workshops_Information_Policy.html *Fees* Early-bird: SIG/IFP or SIG/III Members $190, Members $200, Non-members $220 Regular: SIG/IFP or SIG/III Members $210, Members $220, Non-members $240 The registration fee will cover workshop costs, wireless Internet access, lunch and coffee breaks.
