Narratives shape how we understand the world, influencing perspectives, beliefs, and actions. In an age dominated by rapidly evolving information ecosystems, the potential for narratives to mislead, manipulate, or reinforce biases has become a significant concern, affecting individual and societal decision-making.
This special issue of Datenbank-Spektrum explores trends and advancements in narrative analysis to address these challenges. Contributions should investigate theoretical frameworks, computational techniques, or practical applications for understanding and mitigating the impacts of harmful or biased narratives across various domains. We encourage interdisciplinary perspectives from fields such as linguistics, artificial intelligence, data science, and ethics to advance narrative analysis in the context of information integrity.

Topics of Interest

We invite original submissions, including technical papers, case studies, survey articles, and position papers, on topics such as:
• Narrative Detection and Analysis: Techniques for identifying and analyzing narratives in large text corpora or multimedia content.
• Misinformation and Fake News: Models and methods for detecting fabricated or manipulated narratives.
• Bias in Narratives: Techniques for identifying and mitigating bias in narrative structures, datasets, or analysis pipelines.
• Ethical Narrative Evaluation: Frameworks for evaluating ethical considerations and social impacts of narratives.
• Cross-Domain Narrative Comparison: Tools and methodologies for comparing narratives across different languages, cultures, or platforms.
• Narrative Trust and Credibility: Approaches to assess the credibility and trustworthiness of narratives and their sources.
