==== 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ====

CLASSIFICATION AND VISUALIZATION:INTERFACES TO KNOWLEDGE

International UDC Seminar 2013

VENUE:The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands

DATE: 24-25 October 2013

WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2013/

CONTACT: seminar2013@udcc.org

The objective of this conference is to explore cutting edge advances and
techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of
application and their potential impact on developments in the more main stream
bibliographic and documentary classifications.

We invite overviews, illustrations and analysis of approaches to and models of
the visualization of knowledge that can help advance the application of
documentary and bibliographic classifications in information and knowledge
discovery. We welcome high quality, innovative research contributions from
various fields of application including:

- visualization of knowledge orders (e.g. scientific taxonomies, Wikipedia)
- visualization of collection content, large datasets
- visualization of knowledge classifications for the purpose of managing the
classifications and working with them
- visualization of knowledge to support interactive searching, user browsing
behaviour (IR) and classification as an aid to information navigation

Specific topics may include:

1. Issues and challenges in visualization of conceptual structures and knowledge
in general, e.g. development of knowledge over time, shift in knowledge
structures (dynamic knowledge), interactions between knowledge structures,
socio-cultural issues, technical challenges (incl. animation, simulation)

2. Knowledge visualization models and metaphors: theory, methods, overviews,
analysis

3. Visualization of classification in: information searching and browsing (e.g.
search expansion, result display); visualization of knowledge in relation to
user information needs

4. Presentation and visualization related to specific types of knowledge
classification structure (e.g. faceted and enumerative hierarchies,
polyhierarchical and/or aspect classifications etc.)

5. Classification as an aid in presenting and navigating large datasets, or
providing an overview of collection content for resource discovery or management
purposes

6. Visualization as an aid to cross-collection, cross-language, cross-vocabulary
knowledge browsing

7. Relationships between classification data formats and classification
visualization

We invite two kinds of contributions: conference papers and posters. Paper
proposals should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200
words including references for papers and 500-600 words for posters). A
submission form is provided on the conference website.

Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed
at the conference.

IMPORTANT DATES:
15 Jan 2013 - Paper proposal submission deadline

15 Feb 2013 - Notification of acceptance

15 Apr 2013 - Paper submission

ORGANIZER: Classification and Visualization is the fourth biennial conference in a
series of International UDC Seminars organized by the UDC Consortium (UDCC) and
hosted by Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The National Library of Netherlands). UDCC is
a not-for-profit organization, based in The Hague, established to maintain and

[KMDG-L] Requesting Contributions for the Journal of Scientometric Research, Special Issue-II

Dear Colleagues,

 

Greetings from the Journal of Scientometric Research!


You will be glad to know that a new journal Journal of Scientometric Research (www.jscires.org) has been launched. This journal comes from SciBiolMed. Org.which has around 20 journals with 16 journals in Scopus and 1 in SCI. From the second issue onwards, it will be published with MedKnow which has merged with Kluwer Health. The objective of this journal is to provide a platform for scholarship in Scientometrics and also act as an exchange between Scientometrics and other closely connected research domains i.e. Science Technology Studies, Innovation studies etc.  To attract scholars from interdisciplinary research traditions and also keeping in view that scholars within Scientometrics are themselves from heterogeneous disciplinary traditions, we have created different categories for contributions. Along with Research Paper and Review Paper, the journal has Perspective, and Commentary, Webliography and Research-in-Progress paper for providing platform to young promising researchers or scholars announcing important work in progress.


We are bringing out two special issues of the journal. They will be inaugural issues. We are inviting peers/experts and promising researchers to publish in the Special issue. The first special issue is now online (please visit www.jscires.org/v1i1).


I am writing this letter to you for inviting you to publish your work in the second special issue January-April 2013.


I look forward to your contribution in any of the sections for the Second Special Issue (deadline Feb 15, 2013).


Journal Flyer, Call for Paper and Notes for Contributor and the table of contents of the first special issue is enclosed.  


We will make sure that work accepted after peer review gets a broad audience by announcing the issue through many different channels like newsgroups, mail lists, flyers at conferences.


I look forward to your submission in this journal. Thanks for your support.

Submission can be done through website. However for publishing in the second special issue (January-April, 2013), we would prefer email submission at editor@jscires.org.

 

Journal of Scientometric Research: www.jscires.org

Manuscript Submission: http://www.journalonweb.com/jscires

Current Issue: http://www.jscires.org/v1i1

 

Warm Regards
