17th International Conference on Scientometrics & Informetrics
September 2–5, 2019, Rome (Italy)
Novel approaches to the development and application of informetric and scientometric tools
Venue: Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 Rome
The Organizing Committee would like to invite participants to submit a contribution to the 17th International Society of Scientometrics and Informetrics Conference that will be held in Rome, Italy (https://www.issi2019.org/). The ISSI 2019 Conference will provide an international forum for scientists, research managers and administrators, as well as information and communication related professionals to share research and debate the advancements of informetric and scientometric theory and applications. The conference is organized under the auspices of ISSI - the International Society for Informetrics and Scientometrics (http://www.issi-society.org/).
It will have a Special STI Indicators Conference Track on Challenges to the assessment of Science, Technology and Innovation. This track is organised by the European Network of Indicator Designers (ENID) (http://www.forschungsinfo.de/ENID/ ). In this way, the current ISSI conference represents a first experiment to bring together the two conferences in a particular year.
Scope
The goal of ISSI 2019 is to bring together scholars and practitioners in the area of informetrics, bibliometrics, scientometrics, webometrics and altmetrics to discuss new research directions, methods and theories, and to highlight the best research in this area.
In the special STI Conference track, we will focus on the use of indicators in different contexts, ranging from understanding institutional, structural, and developmental processes to their use as analytical tools in knowledge management and STI policy decision-making.
Submission of papers, tutorials and workshops proposals
We ask for researchers worldwide to submit original full research papers, research-in-progress papers or posters, as well as tutorials and workshops, with a special emphasis on the future of this area and on its links with other disciplines.
