[Rdap] Rdap Digest, Vol 89, Issue 2

Mon Feb 12 14:34:48 EST 2018

Thank you Abigail. 

Indeed, it is human subject research and the study has been approved.

However, I sent the request for participation a few days early, while our application was pending. Please accept my apologies for not making this clear. It was done to gauge the response rate. Responses/data collected before February 7th will be deleted. They won't also be analysed and used in any future publications.

We are in the process of revising the questionnaire. We identified five items/questions that need minor changes in terms of wording in order to collect more valid and usable responses. We will send a request for your participation once the revision is done.

If you (or anyone else) have questions and/or need clarifications, please don't hesitate to contact me (preferably off list). 

Once again, thank you.

Abebe Rorissa

Has this been through an IRB review process? I don't see a protocol or exemption notice.  This is human subject research.

2018 ASIS&T ANNUAL MEETING CALL FOR PROPOSALS

(https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/)

------------------------------------------------------------

The 81st Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science and Technology

November 10-14, 2018, Vancouver, Canada

BUILDING AN ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE INFORMATION FUTURE WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

This meeting will focus the creative and analytical energies of the ASIS&T community on the dramatic near horizon socio-technical shifts expected due to rapid developments in technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, and embedded, ubiquitous computing. The opportunities afforded by these technologies are enormous, as are the challenges of ensuring that ethical and human-centered perspectives, including sustainability, privacy, human agency and equity, are incorporated into their design and use.  As interdisciplinary information science and technology researchers and practitioners, with an 80 year tradition of studying and working in this rapidly evolving field, we are uniquely situated to steward and mediate this shift.  ASIS&T 2018 will provide an opportunity to learn from one another and from leading experts in these emerging technologies; to discuss, critique and pose the much-needed questions; and to share perspectiv!
 es grounded in our own research and practice that intersect with and provide context for current developments.

The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and insights regarding the role of information and technology in the lives of individuals, organizations and communities.

We invite papers, posters and visual presentations, panel and workshop submissions that focus on the conference theme, as well as work that reflects the broader mandate of ASIS&T, regarding the creation, representation, storage, access, dissemination and use of information, media and records, and the systems, tools, and technologies associated with these processes.  The conference embraces plurality in methods and theories, and encompasses research, development and practice from a broad spectrum of domains, as encapsulated in ASIS&T's many special interest groups (SIGs).

We are pleased to announce that the ASIS&T 2018 Proceedings will be published by John Wiley & Sons and will be indexed and accessible via multiple international venues. Please note that at least one of the authors must register for the conference in order for a paper to be accepted and published in the proceedings.
