specialising in quantitative research in Information
Science to be held <strong>on 12-13 April 2012 in England
at the University of Wolverhampton</strong>.</p><p>This Doctoral Forum will begin with short introductory
presentations by Prof Mike Thelwall and Dr Jonathan Levitt
on the application of quantitative methods to Information
Science. However, its main emphasis is on the students
presenting and receiving feedback on their research and on
meeting other doctoral students. Doctoral students who
are either using, or considering using, quantitative
methods in at least part of their doctoral research are
encouraged to apply.</p><p>The venue, at the University of Wolverhampton, is located
in Wolverhampton City Centre and is very close to
Wolverhampton train station. Wolverhampton is a thirty
minute train journey from Birmingham International
airport. The event finishes on Friday afternoon, enabling
participants to see something of England over the weekend;
from Wolverhampton, Wales can be reached by train in
thirty minutes and London can be reached by train in two
hours.</p><p>This event, endorsed by the European Chapter of the
American Society for Information Science and Technology
(ASIST), is the first of two events that the European
Chapter is endorsing, in celebration of the 75<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of ASIST. The European Chapter is also
endorsing Libraries In The Digital Age (LIDA) to be held
on 18 – 22 June 2012 in Zadar, Croatia.</p><p>This Doctoral Forum is open to all interested parties,
