IC3K 2014 (http://www.ic3k.org/) will hold a Doctoral Consortium on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management providing an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. The Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to: - Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment; - Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty; - Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of knowledge discovery, knowledge engineering and knowledge management; - Obtain insight into directions for knowledge research taken by other doctoral candidates; - Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues; - Network with peers and future colleagues The paper that a PhD student can submit until July 21 needs to be written in a specific format, appropriate for facilitating the aforementioned discussion, therefore it is expected to be a much simpler paper and definitely not a regular paper. There will be a review and selection process and the accepted papers will be included in the CD-ROM that also includes the proceedings of the conference. Additionally, the papers of the Doctoral Consortium presented at the venue will also be included in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. However, they will not be included in the book of proceedings as archival publications therefore they will remain free of copyright and the registration will be a "student registration". Should you have any question or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Andreia Pereira On behalf of IC3K Secretariat Av. D.

Please find below the 2014 Call for Student Papers from ASIS&T SIG/MET. Please excuse any cross postings and feel free to distribute widely. Please direct any questions regarding the contest or submission guidelines to Kim Powell at krpowel at emory.edu 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 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 ?Web metrics ?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 Wednesday, August 13 2014*, to the following website:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmetspc2014 The students will be notified about the results by September 1, 2014.

The Doctoral Consortium provides doctoral students with a unique opportunity to meet each other and experienced researchers in the field. It will take place on November 2, 2014, immediately before the main HCOMP Conference. Please see http://www.humancomputation.com/2014/dc.html for complete details and submission instructions. Thanks to generous funding from the National Science Foundation, we will support most expenses associated with attendances (e.g., airfare, one night of hotel expenses, conference registration, and meals on the day of the Consortium) for all accepted students. Students will be mentored by a group of faculty who are leaders in the diverse specialties that make up the HCOMP field.

We just made a small victory towards making student and regional chapters more on par. At its recently held summer meeting, the Board voted and approved these 4 motions: 1. Renaming ?Chapter? to ?Regional Chapter? (leaving Chapter as an umbrella term to include both regional and student chapters) 2. Bringing forward the deadline of the ?Regional? Chapter of the Year award to August 1 (so that there is 2 weeks for regional chapters to apply for the other 4 chapter awards http://www.asis.org/awards.html). This would apply starting next year. For this year, regional chapters can file their reports by the August 15 deadline. 3. Allowing student chapters to also apply for the 4 Chapter awards on Chapter Member/Event/Publication/Innovation of the Year (note the Aug 15 deadline for these) 4. Allowing student chapters to also apply for the Chapter Development Fund The Board earlier also approved a new simplified template for the annual activities report for regional chapters. I'm attaching it in this email. If you are in charge of a regional chapter, do please use it for filing this year's report. Please email me if you have any questions.
