Reminder to submit talks & pre-analysis plans: MZES Open Social Science Conference 2019 - DL: August 22
by Alexander Wuttke 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Dear colleagues, Please be kindly reminded that the deadline for submissions to give a talk or win the pre-registration challenge at the MZES Open Social Science Conference 2019 (OSSC19) is approaching fast. Please Submit your extended abstracts (750 words max) before 22 August 2018, 24:00 CEST. OSSC19 will be held at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) in Mannheim, Germany, from 25-27 January 2019. It offers an opportunity to connect with the open science movement for all researchers from across the social sciences who are interested in debating, advancing, and practicing open science. OSSC19 will feature keynotes by Jeremy Freese (Stanford University), Thomas König (University of Mannheim), Arthur Lupia (University of Michigan), and Julia Rohrer (University of Leipzig). There are two options for you to participate in the conference: 1. You can <https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/openscience/index.php/give-a-talk/> give a talk that provides discussion of, a methodological advance to, or a demonstration of best practices in open social science. 2. You can submit an extended abstract for a <https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/openscience/index.php/pre-registration-cha llenge/> study you would like to conduct (i.e., a pre-registered analysis plan). The submitter(s) of the best abstract will get the opportunity present their study plan at OSSC19 and will win free collection of survey panel data from a high-quality national probability sample or, alternatively, financial support for a data collection effort of the participants own choosing. Please note that OSSC19 is transdisciplinary in nature: Submissions from any social science discipline are welcome! We look forward to your submissions. Feel free to <mailto:%20openscience@mzes.uni-mannheim.de> contact us if you have any questions. Best, Nate Breznau Eike Mark Rinke Alexander Wuttke CfP -- MZES Open Social Science Conference 2019: Practicing New Standards in Transparency and Reproducibility This conference is a forum for practicing and discussing credibility, transparency and replicability in the social sciences. About a decade ago, John Ioannidis claimed that most published research findings are false. While seeming outrageous at the time, a growing body of meta-scientific research in the behavioral and social sciences substantiated this claim, causing uncertainty about the trustworthiness of published scientific findings. We believe that threats to the validity of published findings in the social sciences are widespread and systemic. Therefore, this conference promotes introspection about the current state of social science research and exchange on the opportunities for institutional and methodological improvement in the future. The conference is supported by the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences ( <http://bitss.org/> BITSS) and will take place from 25-27 January 2019 in Mannheim, Germany. <http://www.open-socsci.org> Conference Website - <https://twitter.com/opensocsci> twitter Keynote speakers: Jeremy Freese (Stanford University) Thomas König (APSR, University of Mannheim) Arthur Lupia (OSF, University of Michigan) Julia Rohrer (100% CI, Leipzig University) Participate in the conference: * Give a talk: We call for researchers to advance discussion, debate, literature synthesis, or methods in open social science. We welcome methodological advances, e.g., p-curve analysis, systematic reviews, pre-analysis planning, and replication. We welcome general research findings that apply best practices of open science while conducting the research - Abstract submission DL: 22 August 2018 <https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/openscience/index.php/give-a-talk/> Read more * MZES-GESIS Pre-Registration Challenge: We call for researchers to participate in a competition to win funding or free survey time for the most innovative and rigorous pre-registration plan for a social science study. - Abstract submission DL: 22 August 2018 <https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/openscience/index.php/pre-registration-cha llenge/> Read more * Participate as a guest in Mannheim during the conference or during the subsequent Open Science Workshop, offered in collaboration with the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences ( <http://bitss.org/> BITSS).

Below you will find information on how to apply for the different formats. ------------------------------------- CONFERENCE SCOPE ------------------------------------- The Symposium is an interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers from a diverse range of disciplines to contribute to the definition and exploration of the societal challenges in Computational Social Science, especially around the topics of inequality and imbalance. We welcome submissions in the intersection of the social sciences and the computer sciences, including (a) new approaches for understanding social phenomena and addressing societal challenges, (b) improving methods for computational social science, (c) and understanding the influence of the Web and digital technologies on society. -------------------------------- DATASET CHALLENGE -------------------------------- Submission deadline: September 1, 2018 Submit via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssymposium18 We provide links to three suggested datasets on the topic of political communication and ask participants to creatively and innovatively engage with these datasets. A jury will select the best presentation (including any created resources, such as secondary datasets or analysis code) to be awarded the very first Euro CSS Dataset Challenge Award. The work presented at the symposium can be early stage, but should be methodically sound and provide either preliminary insights into an interesting research question or first inductively-reached conclusions of systematic patterns of bias in the dataset. These can also be on a meta-level or may be designated to positioning the work in broader theoretical contexts, e.g., about biases in the data collection. Submissions should be abstracts of approx. 2-3 pages (maximum up to 1000 words plus references and figures). The full call can be found here: http://symposium.computationalsocialscience.eu/2018/#data -------------------------------- DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM -------------------------------- Submission deadline: September 1, 2018 Submit via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssymposium18 Please submit a PDF file of up to approx. 1000 words with the following information: – an abstract of the PhD thesis topic including information about the research question, applied methods and the current state of progress – a short paragraph about the applicant’s biography – a paragraph on open questions that the applicant would want to discuss with experts in the field The full call can be found here: http://symposium.computationalsocialscience.eu/2018/#consortium -------------------------------- SCIENCE SLAM -------------------------------- Submission deadline: November 1, 2018 Submit via email: garcia(a)csh.ac.at<mailto:garcia@csh.ac.at> A Science Slam is an epic scientific event where scientists compete with short talks on their research. It's just like a poetry slam, but with science instead of poems. Slammers are completely free to do whatever they want on stage, everything is allowed including slides, games, the more creative, the better! The only two rules are: 1) The topic of the slam has to be related to data science / computational social science or to social media, online data or digital behavioral data, and 2) Presentations should not take more than 8 minutes. The EuroCSS Science Slam will take place in the evening of December 5th in Die Wohngemeinschaft (https://www.die-wohngemeinschaft.net/en/) To present, send an email to garcia(a)csh.ac.at<mailto:garcia@csh.ac.at> with a short proposal of your topic for the slam and we will contact you. We will choose the best slammer candidates, based on (i) the scientific quality, on (ii) the novelty of the topic, and on (iii) the potential for giving an engaging talk. -------------------------------- TRAVEL GRANTS -------------------------------- Submission deadline: September 1, 2018 Submit via email: css.eurosymposium(a)gmail.com<mailto:css.eurosymposium@gmail.com> Due to the generous funding by Volkswagen Foundation we are able to offer a limited number of travel grants to researchers whose submissions are accepted for the symposium (presenters of talks or posters at the main symposium, workshop or tutorial organizers, participants of doctoral consortium and dataset challenge).
