Dear colleagues, This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for submissions for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024 is approaching. Please consider submitting your published peer-reviewed work related to online research by Oct 31. Best regards, Florian Keusch *** DGOF Best Paper Award 2024 The German Society for Online Research (DGOF) annually recognizes outstanding scientific contributions in online research through the DGOF Best Paper Award for a researcher or group of researchers. The DGOF by-laws define “online research” as any type of research about computers or other devices that are connected by a network, in particular the Internet. Online research includes online based data collection (e.g., web surveys in online panels), mobile research with smartphones, tablets, and wearables, and the collection and analysis of social media data, administrative data, data from passive measurements, and other Big Data sources. The prize will be awarded to a paper that provides a fundamental scientific contribution to the advancement of the methods of online research. Topics that are suitable for the award can be found in the program of the annual General Online Research (GOR) conference (www.gor.de) Both theoretical/conceptual and empirical/methodological papers are considered for the award. Papers that do not focus on online research but, for example, merely use online data collection (e.g., through a web survey) to answer a substantive research question will not be considered. The award is worth 500 Euro and will be presented at the annual GOR conference. An abstract (and, if available, a preprint) of the award-winning paper will be posted to the DGOF website (www.dgof.de) To be considered for the award, papers must be published in an outlet that uses a peer-review process (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, full papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, refereed book chapter) at the time of submission. Papers written in German or English and published not earlier than 2022 (if the paper was published online-first, then the online-first publication date counts) can be submitted for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024. To be considered for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024, please fill in the following application form (https://www.dgof.de/forschungsfoerderung/application-dgof-best-paper-award-…) by 31 October 2023.

Call for Papers: 5th Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS) Workshop in Washington DC
by Höhne, Jan Karem 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

***Apologies for cross-posting Dear colleagues, I am very happy to announce that the 5th Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS) workshop takes place in Washington DC (USA) from March 6-7, 2024. Please find a PDF of the MASS call here: https://jkhoehne.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/MASS_CfP_24.pdf This time, the Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS; see https://massworkshop.org/) workshop takes place jointly with the Current Innovations in Probability-based Household Internet Panel Research (CIPHER; see https://cesr.usc.edu/about_us) conference. CIPHER will be held from March 7-8, and presenters at either event are invited to attend both events. Context of the workshop Mobile devices allow researchers to collect data through built-in sensors, such as GPS, accelerometers, and other sensors, passively collect data in-browser, and use apps in addition to self-reports. Passive mobile data collection can potentially decrease measurement errors and reduce respondent burden. Active data collection using apps, camera, microphone, and other sensors allows researchers to broaden the research questions they want to study. Incorporating new measurements to augment or replace survey questions through sensors and apps brings challenges for representativeness, survey design and implementation, and measurement. This also includes ethical and legal considerations that are yet to be understood. The goal of this workshop is to bring together around 40 researchers from different disciplines to discuss the current state of their work on the use of mobile apps and sensors in survey data collection. The workshop is only open to people who are presenting a paper at CIPHER or MASS. Upon acceptance participants are expected to submit a handout (max. of 5 pages). The fourth MASS workshop was held at the University of Manchester in June 2023 (see https://massworkshop.org/2022/04/13/materials_2023/) Importantly, even though MASS and CIPHER take place jointly, both events manage their submission and registration process separately. Researchers are eligible to submit abstracts to MASS and CIPHER, but the content of the abstracts must differ and should be tailored to the scope of the events. Participants accepted for CIPHER can also participate in MASS, and vice versa. Topic scope of the workshop For the fifth MASS workshop, we invite contributions that focus, among others, on the following issues when using mobile apps and sensors in surveys: - Technical aspects of mobile apps and sensors o Different ways to collect sensor data o Building apps for Android and iOS o Data processing and storage - Study and app design o Look and feel of apps o Usability studies o Use of incentives o Giving feedback to respondents - Implementation o Willingness to participate and informed consent o Methods to invite and communicate with study participants o Study length and study intensity o Legal considerations o Ethical and privacy considerations - Quality of sensor data o Errors of non-representation (e.g., self-selection, coverage, and non-participation) o Measurement error (e.g., prevention, modeling, and correction) - Data analysis o Analyzing sensor data (e.g., through machine and deep learning) o Combining survey, sensor, and app data We specifically encourage submission of work in progress and are particularly interested in studies that used an experimental design to test strategies to collect data using mobile apps and sensors successfully. We are open to both empirical studies as well as descriptions of data collection infrastructure (e.g., front- or backend of an app) and processing of data from apps and sensors. Travel support for PhD students MASS workshop can provide travel support (up to $600) for PhD students. PhD students who want to be considered for travel support need to state this in their submission email and provide an explanation for why they should be considered for travel support. Submission process and timeline Please submit your abstract (max. 500 words) for the workshop to hoehne(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:hoehne@dzhw.eu>. The abstract should contain a research question, data collection procedures/the description of the app, and results if available. If results are not available yet, the abstract should outline the type of analyses that will be presented at the workshop and whether data collection took place already. Participation in the workshop is only possible when an abstract is accepted for the workshop. We intend to keep the workshop limited to about 40 participants. Timeline: 01 December 2023: Deadline for abstract submission 10 December 2023: Feedback on acceptance will be provided 15 February 2024: Deadline for handout submission - all participants will be required to submit a 5-page handout presenting context, screenshots, tables, or other supporting materials for the workshop. Participants are expected to read all handouts before coming to the workshop. 06 March 2024: Start of MASS workshop We are really looking forward to your MASS submissions. In case of questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jan Karem Höhne (hoehne(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:hoehne@dzhw.eu>).

WEB DATA OPP Workshop in Barcelona (March 18-19, 2024)
by Höhne, Jan Karem 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

***Apologies for cross-posting Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming WEB DATA OPP workshop in Barcelona from March 18 to 19, 2024. The workshop is part of the ERC Starting Grant Project WEB DATA OPP lead by Melanie Revilla. Please find the call for abstracts below. Best regards Jan Call for Abstracts: WEB DATA OPP Workshop March 18-19, 2024, Barcelona We are pleased to announce that the ERC-funded WEB DATA OPP project, which investigates how new measurement opportunities linked mainly to the growing presence of smartphones could complement or replace conventional survey data in order to get better or new insights (see https://www.upf.edu/web/webdataopp) is organising a workshop. Event Details * Date: March 18th and 19th, 2024 * Location: RECSM-Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Ciutadella Campus, Ramon Trias Fargas, 25-27, 08005 Barcelona, Spain Workshop Focus The expansion of the Internet and the development of a range of new active and passive measurement tools, particularly on mobile devices, present exciting opportunities for survey researchers, such as visual or geolocation data capture. Using these new measurement opportunities could reduce respondent burden, improve data quality, and extend measurement into new domains, allowing to answer questions that could not be answered so far and to improve the decisions of key actors. However, while many people speak about these ideas, little research has implemented such possibilities so far. Besides, researchers interested in using such data face a range of key issues, including technical and ethical ones, and very little is known about how to best deal with all these challenges. Thus, the primary objective of this workshop is to engage in fruitful discussions surrounding these challenges presented by the integration of new data types within the context of web surveys. We are particularly interested in the following types of data 1. Visual Data: Exploring the incorporation of screenshots, photos, or videos as potential ways to provide responses in web surveys. 2. Voice Data: Examining the use of dictation or voice recording functions for survey responses. 3. Digital Traces Data: Leveraging digital traces data, especially those collected through meters, to complement or replace conventional survey questions. 4. In-the-Moment Surveys: Investigating the possibilities of conducting surveys triggered by passive data, particularly metered data or geolocation information, shortly after the detection of relevant events. Presentation Emphasis Participants should center their presentations on the problems encountered when designing surveys or experiments including these innovative data types, rather than focusing on research outcomes. In line with this, we welcome works in progress and presentations about studies that have not yet been fielded, as long as they offer insights into the diverse problems researchers face when using new data types. Active Participation To ensure a productive workshop, all participants should actively engage by providing constructive feedback on the work presented by others. Registration and Funding * Participation in the workshop is free of charge. * For participants who need financial assistance to cover travel costs, funding opportunities are available upon request. Submission Guidelines To participate in the workshop, please send the following information: * Submit your presentation title, abstract (maximum 300 words), and a brief presenter biography (maximum 200 words) by October 22 at webdataopp(a)upf.edu<mailto:webdataopp@upf.edu>. * In your email, specify whether you can cover your travel expenses or if you would require funding. In case of requiring fundings, please provide an estimate of how much you would need. Notification of Acceptance: We will notify you of the acceptance of your abstract within two weeks after the abstract submission deadline. We look forward to your contributions and stimulating discussions at the WEB DATA OPP workshop. For inquiries and abstract submissions, please contact the project's team at webdataopp(a)upf.edu<mailto:webdataopp@upf.edu>.
