Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite contributions to a Special Issue that will cover various aspects of SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) research enhanced by modern information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT tools for SSH researchers already exist, such as research-oriented social networking sites and tools to support scientific research, to manage labs and data, and to enable better communication. These tools could change the way SSH researchers carry out research, collaborate, disseminate, and evaluate research outputs. This Special Issue should include papers dealing with ICT-based methodologies and algorithms for SSH research, digital infrastructures, and tools for doing research, writing, reviewing, publishing, and assessing research, FAIR principles, open science paradigms, data/publication/software source code repositories, electronic laboratory notebooks, CRIS systems, and publications and citations databases.
Papers describing original work in any of the four areas listed below are invited:
- Tools, algorithms, and techniques for conducting SSH research
- Tools and platforms for cataloging and preservation of research outputs
- Tools, guidelines, and paradigms for modern scholarly communication and scientific collaboration
- ICT enhanced management, monitoring, and assessment of SSH institutions, researchers, and research outputs
This Special Issue will contain extended versions of selected papers presented at the ICTeSSH 2021 Conference (https://ictessh.uns.ac.rs/) held as an online three-day event on June 28-30 2021.
Prof. Dr. Dragan Ivanovic
