Call For Papers

The International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM) is a unique forum that brings together researchers from the disciplines of computer science, linguistics, communication, and the social sciences. The broad goal of ICWSM is to increase understanding of social media in all its incarnations. Submissions describing research that blends social science and computational approaches are especially encouraged.

Though this conference, now in its seventh year, has become one of the premier venues for social scientists and technologists to gather and discuss cutting-edge research in social media. This is largely due to a typical acceptance rate of 20% for full-length research papers published in our conference proceedings and support from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).

For ICWSM-13, in addition to the usual program of contributed technical talks, posters and invited presentations, the main conference will include a selection of keynote talks from prominent social scientists and technologists. Building on the success of the first workshops program since 2011 and our regular tutorials day, ICWSM-13 will also hold a workshops and tutorials day just after the main conference.

SUMMARY SUBMISSION GUIDELINE

Full paper format: Full paper submissions to ICWSM are recommended to be 8 pages long, and must be at most 10 pages long, including figures and citations. The final camera-ready length (between 8-10 pages) for each full paper in the proceedings will be at the discretion of the program chairs. All papers must be follow AAAI formatting guidelines.

Poster paper format: Poster paper submissions to ICWSM must be 4 pages long, including figures and citations. All papers must be follow AAAI formatting guidelines.

Anonymity: Paper submissions to ICWSM must be anonymized.

(New in 2013) Social sciences papers with optional publication: For researchers in the social sciences who wish to submit full papers without publication in the conference proceedings, we have available the option of submitting to a new ‘social sciences’ track at ICWSM-13. While papers in this track will not published, we expect the submissions will represent high-quality, completed work. Papers accepted to this track will be full presentations, integrated with the conference, but will be published only as abstracts in the conference proceedings.
