Call for Participation: Human Computation – A new, interdisciplinary and open-access
journal
This might be relevant to some of you:
Today we launched a new interdisciplinary journal called “Human Computation” that brings
together human computation / crowdsourcing research and expertise from a variety of
fields, covering a wide range of topics related to HC (Find a full list at
http://hcjournal.org).
The journal is open-access and authors pay no fees. The editorial and advisory boards are
constituted of top HC researchers from many different fields.
Particularly in relation to the Wiki(pedia) research community, topics for submissions
could include – among others:
Applications - novel or transformative applications
Modalities - general interaction paradigms (e.g., gaming) and related methods
Interfaces - HCI or related human factors methods or issues
One could for example think about the integration of human “workers” with semi-automatic
vandalism detection, the interaction of editors with bots on a daily basis or one of the
many other processes in Wikipedia where the actions of humans and machines are tightly
interwoven.
If you have ideas for a journal publication in this field, the journal is now accepting
submissions (CFP:
http://t.co/xlY7yy3zDI) and the first issue will be published in Summer
2014.
You can find author guidelines, board members, review process documentation and
instructions for submitting at
http://hcjournal.org.
Best,
Fabian
