Call for Special Issue Papers

Anotace: As was stated in one of the current review articles on social informatics: Research activities related to social informatics are expanding, even as community fragmentation, topical dispersion, and methodological diversity continue to increase. Specifically, the different understandings of social informatics in regional communities have strong impacts, and each has a different history, methodological grounding, and often a different thematic focus. Therefore, this special issue would like to present different perspectives on social informatics that arose in the world. The special issue will be divided into two parts that cover the full scope of social informatics. The first part will focus on theoretically oriented articles and the second part on empirically oriented articles. The special issue is also open to articles that have a thematically close research focus (e.g. socio-informatics) and/or use regional terms that can be translated into English as social informatics, e.g. samfunnsinformatikk, sosialinformatikk, sosioinformatikk, sozioinformatik, sozialinformatik, социальная информатика, družboslovna informatika, 社会情報学 and others.
