Dear Wikidata-Community!
We are happy to announce the WikiCite Satellite Cologne 2020 and looking forward to your contributions. The event will take place at May 6th - 8th 2020 at GESIS in Cologne, organized together with ZB MED and FH Köln. The event aims to connect local library institutions and academic researchers with the WikiCite community in their shared interest in an open infrastructure about open citations and linked bibliographic data for research and education. See https://w.wiki/9jj for details!
Submission deadline for contributions is February 16th 2020. The conference will contain different forms of contributions. Please specify the format and how much time you are going to need. We especially welcome topics such as (but not limited to):
- use of bibliographic data in Wikibase and Wikimedia projects - applications and tools to process, analyze and visualize scientific information - strategies to enhance the bibliographic information on large scale - bibliometric analyses and quantitative science studies - ethical and social aspects of data collection and analysis - open citations and open bibliographic data
Please suggest your contribution with a short abstract (max. 500 words), contact information, preferred language (German or English) and its type, which has to be one of the following options:
- hands-on workshops: practical tutorials with up to 30 participants each (up to 150 minutes), e.g. introduction to Wikidata or other Wikimedia projects, introduction to bibliometrics, how-to and best-practice guides around tools - talks: traditional presentations (10-30 minutes including questions) - discussions: self-organized barcamp-like open discussion with up to 30 participants (up to 60 minutes) - demos: interactive demo of a tool or prototype (10-15 minutes) - posters: visually appealing and informative description of a topic (0 minutes) to be shown at the conference site. It’s also possible to provide a poster without physically participating, please indicate in your submission
All participants can also give spontaneous lightning talks.
Contributions can be submitted openly in the Wikidata wiki. Both English and German contributions will be accepted. Please create an account (any Wikimedia project such as Wikipedia will do) and submit your contribution via the event page (https://w.wiki/9jj#Metadata). The submission form opens a template to publish your submission with full title and additional information.
Looking forward to seeing you! Jakob Voß
