****CFP altmetrics20 workshop, 6 November 2020****


*altmetrics20. The Future is Now*

*About the workshop ***

altmetrics20 (*http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics20*) is part of the 
altmetrics workshop series organized since 2011 and this time, it will 
take place online on *6 November 2020*.**

What kinds of altmetric-related research have you been thinking about or 
working on? altmetrics20 encourages you to contribute to the workshop by 
submitting altmetric-related research focusing on the current state of 
altmetrics as it relates to the global, political, social, and economic 
changes we are all experiencing. This will allow us to simultaneously 
discuss  the state of the art of research in altmetrics and social 
media-based metrics as well as to speak to the global, political, 
social, and economic changes we are witnessing. Together with the 
workshop participants, we would like to reflect on current research 
approaches as well as to look at future horizons of altmetrics research 
and practice.

*Call for contributions*

We are soliciting empirical and theoretical contributions for short 
presentations and as a basis for discussions, which will be the main 
focus of the altmetrics20 workshop. The submissions could be of any of 
the following types: *Short papers, lightning talks or 
posters*.**Submissions can focus on empirical analyses, novel 
theoretical frameworks, original datasets or represent a position paper. 
The goal of the workshop is to discuss, exchange, and foster 
collaboration on social media metrics and altmetrics. While a short 
paper is not a requirement to attend the workshop, we strongly encourage 
prospective participants to submit a contribution to seed the 
discussions. The organizers will give priority to submissions linking to 
original research artifacts and bearing potential for deeper reflection 
on altmetrics use and research.

*How to submit*

Please provide short papers (1,500-3,000 words), lightning talks (1-page 
abstract) and posters (1-page abstract) presenting the objectives, 
questions, methods and results of your altmetrics research.

Submissions in PDF need to be submitted via EasyChair 
<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=altmetrics20>by *30 September 
2020*. Please include a link to any relevant artifact (e.g., a dataset, 
plots, slidedeck) you wish to present and discuss, after archiving it 
via an appropriate repository (e.g., Zenodo, Dryad, figshare, GitHub, 
SlideShare, etc.).

*Special issue in Journal of Altmetrics*

altmetrics20 has teamed up with Journal of Altmetrics to consider all 
accepted short papers (upon completing a review process by the journal 
and complying with required revisions) in a special issue in the Journal 
of Altmetrics if the authors agree, otherwise they will be made 
available via the workshop website. The Journal of Altmetrics is an Open 
Access Journal, sponsored by the Levy Library at Mount Sinai, and 
currently waives authors’ fees for publications. All papers receive a 
DOI and are tracked for impact metrics. Authors of selected papers from 
the altmetrics20 workshop will be asked to provide an extended version 
of their short paper, which will then be re-reviewed and published in a 
special issue dedicated to the conference and workshop. For more 
information about the journal please

*Important dates*

*Workshop date: *6 November 2020

*Submission due: *30 September 2020

*Notification of acceptance: *15 October 2020
