Submit your abstract until 31 January: ESS conference 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal
by Muessig, Stephanie 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Werte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir möchten Sie nochmals auf die Session "Studying immigrants using the ESS: Methodological challenges, empirical consequences" auf der ESS Conference 2024 in Lissabon aufmerksam machen, die Antje Röder und ich gemeinsam organisieren. Reichen Sie Ihr Vortragsangebot bis zum 31. Januar 2024 ein. Wir freuen uns darauf! Beste Grüße Stephanie Müssig und Antje Röder Studying immigrants using the ESS: Methodological challenges, empirical consequences, ESS Conference 2024 in Lisbon Since its release, scholars from various disciplines all around the world use the ESS as source for research on persons with immigrant background. An important reason for its popularity among immigrant researchers is its bi-annual repetition and the regular participation of many Western European countries that both allow to combine data of several rounds and/or countries, resulting in a decent number of respondents with immigrant background. This circumvents the problem of small numbers that researchers usually face when using population survey data for studying immigrants. Moreover, its broad range of questions on (political) attitudes and behaviour is extra-ordinary for a multi-themed population survey, making the ESS often the only data source for studying these topics on immigrants or groups that mainly are of immigrant background, such as Muslims. At the same time, there are reasons for reservations regarding its authoritative use on immigrants. Although the ESS displays a strong awareness for the need of research on immigrants by including items that enable their identification among respondents, it is not an immigrant survey. There is no specific sampling strategy for immigrant groups, and the questionnaire is only presented in a limited set of languages- a major obstacle for the participation of new immigrants or of immigrants with little knowledge of these languages. For this reason, non-response among immigrants is probably higher than among other population groups and not at random, which is considered a severe challenge to obtain unbiased results. Although these and other sources for potential biases are well known among scholars, they have been neither systematically investigated nor frequently addressed in publications using the ESS. Among the open questions are: how biased is immigrant data really, and to what extent are substantial results affected by this? How can we take this into account in our analyses and when interpreting the results? We encourage contributions with methodological focus (with or without comparative approach) that, e.g., * take stock of the descriptive representation of immigrants in the ESS * assess whether bias in descriptive representation leads to bias in the substantive results on attitudes and behaviour * appraise how the transition to a self-completion survey aggravates or alleviates existing caveats regarding research of immigrants with the ESS, and how to solve potential problems and pitfalls * address other methodological issues regarding research on immigrants with the ESS * use ESS data to study immigrants in an innovative way to overcome methodological challenges. We invite abstract submissions via the ESS management platform ConfTool (max. 500 words). For submissions, please click here.<https://www.conftool.net/ess2024/> The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2024.

Call for abstract "Big data and field research in the study of social networks", INSNA-Sunbelt Conference 24-30 Juni 2024 in Edinburgh, Bewerbungsfrist 4.2.
by Betina Hollstein 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to the Sunbelt 2024 organized session "Big data and field research in the study of social networks". Please find further information below. link to conference webpage: https://sunbelt2024.com/ For any questions, please feel free to contact me or Nikolitsa! We look forward to meeting you in Edinburgh! All best, Betina * * *Big data and field research in the study of social networks* ** One of the major promises of “big data” was the ability to understand how social networks emerge, operate, and shape human behavior on a much larger scale than previously possible. Researchers have used large-scale network data to generate new insights on topics as varied as network evolution (Kossinets and Watts 2006), well-being (Jaidka et al. 2020), and political misinformation (Guess, Nyhan, and Reifler 2020), among many others. But researchers have become increasingly cognizant of the limits of “big data” analyses, which may include sampling bias in the data, confounds in the algorithms needed to uncover patterns, and weak construct validity (boyd and Crawford 2012; Lazer et al. 2014). An important response has been to address the limits of the data themselves by employing mixed- or multi-methods approaches that capitalize on the strengths of traditional social science methods, such as surveys, experiments, or various qualitative methods (Bail et al. 2020; Gilbert and Karahalios 2009; Grigoropoulou and Small 2022; Scharkow et al. 2020). This organized session aims to host paper presentations on research in social networks that combine different types of data and methods. Critical reviews discussing specific methodological problems in large-scale network data and how they can be addressed with field research are also welcome. *Organizers:*Nikolitsa Grigoropoulou, University of Bremen, grigorop(a)uni-bremen.de Betina Hollstein, University of Bremen, betina.hollstein(a)uni-bremen.de -- Prof. Dr. Betina Hollstein University of Bremen Professor of Microsociology and Qualitative Methods Research Data Center QUALISERVICE, head:https://www.qualiservice.org/en/ NEU - Interview zum FDZ Qualiservice:https://blog.bildungsserver.de/qualitative-forschungsdaten-sind-ein-schatz-der-gerade-erst-gehoben-wird/ SOCIUM - Research Center on Inequality and Social Policy Dept.

by Weiss, Bernd 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Dear list members, Please find below a reminder for the Special Issue CfP “Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements”. Please note that the deadline for extended abstracts has been extended to February 9, 2024. Full papers will be due in Fall 2024. *** Apologies for cross-posting *** *** Abstract submission deadline extended to February 9, 2024 *** Call for Papers: Special Issue in International Journal of Social Research Methodology<https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tsrm20> Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements Guest editors: Steffen Pötzschke<https://www.gesis.org/en/institute/staff/person/steffen.poetzschke>a, Michael Zoorob<https://michaelzoorob.com/about/>b, Bernd Weiß<https://www.gesis.org/en/institute/staff/person/bernd.weiss>a aGESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Science , bMeta Platforms We invite paper submissions on “Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements” for a tentatively approved special issue in the International Journal of Social Research Methodology<https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tsrm20> (IJSRM). Survey sampling with social media advertisements was virtually non-existent a decade ago, but it has been increasingly adopted in recent years, especially for otherwise hard-to-reach populations. The increasing use of the approach warrants a more systematic review of its methodological particularities, advantages, disadvantages, and challenges; as well as practical and theoretical knowledge sharing of best practices using this method. Submissions to the issue will either (a) describe empirical research that samples via social media advertising and sheds light on relevant methodological questions or (b) make novel theoretical or methodological contributions. Please note that the call is not limited to research using a specific social media platform. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Discussion of suitable/innovative use cases (e.g., surveying otherwise hard-to-reach populations), ● Comparing social media recruited samples to external benchmarks or to one another, ● Strategies for measuring and mitigating bias, ● Influence of different features of ad campaigns – such as campaign optimization strategies, campaign length, audience targeting, ad placements, text, and images/video – on the cost and sample composition of social media recruited samples, ● Use of AI-based optimization features (such as lookalike audiences and automated A/B testing) and their impact on the survey process and sample composition, ● Use of advertisements in combination with chatbots, messenger services or survey apps, ● Role and impact of the design decisions taken regarding features comparable to “classic” survey design elements (e.g., wording of advertisements in their function as survey invitation), ● Impact and management of other contextual factors – such as user comments on advertisements, the advertiser’s identity or timing of the survey, ● Ethical and data privacy considerations, and ● Insights from social media survey sampling about social media platform algorithms or survey research methods more broadly. Please submit extended abstracts (a maximum of 1000 words), along with co-authors and affiliations, to ad-sampling-si(a)gesis.org<mailto:ad-sampling-si@gesis.org> by February 9, 2024. We anticipate providing feedback on acceptance in Spring 2024. Please note that full papers will have to be submitted in Fall 2024 (see timeline below). Please note that IJSRM has a two-stage submission process for Special Issues<https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/TSRM_SpecialIssue_Guidelines.pdf>. After an initial review and expression of interest in the Special Issue proposal, the journal’s editors have invited us to submit a Stage 2 proposal. Reviewing process The Special Issue will apply a multi-stage reviewing process. First, the submission of an extended abstract (maximum of 1,000 words) is required. These extended abstracts are mandatory and serve as a basis for the guest editors to decide on the inclusion of individual papers in the Stage 2 submission to the journal. After the positive review of the Special Issue Stage 2 submission by the journal’s editors, authors are invited to submit a full paper which will be subject to peer-review with at least two experts in the field. Timeline (revised) * October 25, 2023: Call for Papers issued * New Deadline - February 9, 2024: Extended abstracts due * February 26, 2024: Authors are informed by SI editors about inclusion of their abstract in Stage 2 submission to the journal * March 1, 2024: SI editors submit Stage 2 SI proposal to journal (including the extended abstracts of all selected papers) * Spring 2024: Upon final acceptance of the Special Issue, authors receive feedback on their paper proposals and an invitation to submit a full paper.
