Call for Papers: POQ special issue "New Data in Social and Behavioral Research"
by Florian Keusch 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Public Opinion Quarterly Special Issue Call for Papers: New Data in Social and Behavioral Research Deadline: February 1, 2020 Guest editors Frederick G. Conrad, University of Michigan, Editor Florian Keusch, University of Mannheim, Associate Editor Michael F. Schober, The New School, Associate Editor Public Opinion Quarterly seeks submissions for a special issue of the journal devoted to new types of data that might be used to conduct social or behavioral research either in conjunction with surveys, in place of surveys, or to address questions that cannot be addressed by surveys. Examples of these new data include social media posts, search strings, online prices, and sensor data such as location, activity, and sound. As such examples illustrate, these new data potentially can be used in social or behavioral research after having been repurposed, e.g., when researchers analyze search strings as a window onto public opinion even though the users who created these strings did so for entirely different reasons. Other times, these data are collected directly for their intended purpose (Taylor 2013), e.g., when smartphone owners are recruited into a study so that researchers may capture their mobility using the sensors built into their devices. Regardless of the origin of these new data, they are markedly different from survey data. In stark contrast to survey responses that are produced by asking carefully crafted questions, these new data are not elicited by the researchers who later analyze them. In contrast to designed survey data, the structure of these new data is often not known ahead of time. Instead, these data are “organic” (Groves 2011), i.e., continuously generated byproducts of everyday processes. And, compared to survey data sets, these new data are massive and generally far less expensive to create. Much has been written and spoken about the promise of these new data for conducting social and behavioral research (e.g., the AAPOR Big Data task-force report; Japec et al. 2015). The contributions published in the special issue will help assess how well this promise has been realized so far and will help sharpen predictions of future success using these alternative data. Potential topics for submissions include, but are certainly not limited to: * The integration of social media content with survey data * The use of call records and other mobile network operating data to study behavior * Analysis of administrative records to reduce survey costs and burden on respondents * Issues of ethics and privacy when using these new data * Measurement error in new data sources * The feasibility of tracking public opinion via Internet search terms and browsing behavior * Comparison of estimates from self-reports and data collected passively with sensors Submissions can be methodological in orientation or can be substantive applications that demonstrate the usefulness and assess the validity of these new data sources. The issue is scheduled for publication in early 2021. Submissions of relevant research articles, research syntheses, and research notes are welcome and will be considered through February 1, 2020. Manuscripts should be uploaded at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/poq, following the manuscript preparation instructions provided on the journal’s website. To ensure consideration in the special issue, authors must include a cover letter that clearly states that the manuscript has been submitted for consideration for the 2021 “New Data special issue.” Submissions will be peer-reviewed in accord with standard journal practice. Queries about this special issue should be directed to Frederick Conrad (fconrad(a)umich.edu) using the subject line “2021 New Data Special Issue.” References Groves, Robert M. 2011. “Three Eras of Survey Research.” Public Opinion Quarterly 75:861-71.

Any topics related to the journal’s focus are welcome; i.e. topics related to survey methodology but also analyses techniques, and new data types such as passive data. Recent special issues dealt with the following topics: *Social Desirability Bias in Surveys - Collecting and Analyzing Sensitive Data (Guest Editors: Ben Jann, Ivar Krumpal and Felix Wolter) *Comparative Survey Analysis - Models, Techniques, and Applications (Guest Editors: Bart Meuleman, Eldad Davidov and Daniel Seddig) *Comparative Survey Analysis: Comparability and Equivalence of Measures (Guest Editors: Bart Meuleman, Eldad Davidov and Daniel Seddig) *Data Collection in Panel Surveys (Guest Editors: Josef Brüderl and Mark Trappmann) Submission process: Researchers interested in proposing a special issue should submit the following documents by email to mda(a)gesis.org by September 16, 2019, preferably as a MS Word document or PDF. - Draft “call for papers”: Authors are invited to submit a draft of the call for papers they would use if their special issue proposal is selected. - Information about who would be the guest editors: Names, affiliations, and email addresses of the guest editors, and previous experience in editing or other relevant activities related to being guest editors.

Reminder: One more month to submit your work for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2020
by Florian Keusch 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Dear colleagues, The German Society for Online Research (DGOF) will recognize outstanding scientific contributions in online research with the DGOF Best Paper Award 2020. 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. 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 2018 (if the paper was published online-first, then the online-first publication date counts) can be submitted for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2020. To be considered for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2020, please go to the following website and fill in the online application form by 30 September 2019: https://www.dgof.de/forschungsfoerderung/dgof-best-paper-award/ Best regards, Florian Keusch -- Florian Keusch Professor of Statistics and Methodology (interim) University of Mannheim School of Social Sciences Professorship for Statistics and Methodology | A5, 6 | 68131 Mannheim Germany Phone: +49 (0)621 181-3214 E-mail: f.keusch(a)uni-mannheim.de Web: floriankeusch.weebly.com
