[OSM-Science] Academic Track at State of the Map 2020 - Call for applications for the Scientific Committee

Tue Jan 7 21:02:38 UTC 2020

Dear Serena and Marco,

Please find my application to join the Scientific Committee below.

Sincerely,
Yair Grinberger

1. Name: Yair Grinberger
2. Affiliation: Department of Geography, The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel

3. Academic experience: One of my central research interests is
contribution behaviors and how the context of mapping shapes the resulting
data in OpenStreetMap. Specifically, in my recently completed post-doctoral
research stay at Heidelberg University I have studied the institutional
contexts of data production in OpenStreetMap, how these lead to large-scale
data production events, and how such events affect representation and
future contributions. In regards to membership in scientific committees, I
co-organized the academic track of State of the Map 2019 and a
pre-conference AGILE 2019 workshop on the geographical and cultural aspects
of geo-information.

5. Editorial experience:
I am now part of the guest editorial teams for two special issues based on
the academic meetings mentioned in section 3 - one in Transactions of GIS
and one in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. The latter
is dedicated specifically to OSM research.

6. Participation in SotM2020: At the moment I cannot guarantee that I will
be able to attend the conference.

> Following the first two successful editions of the *Academic Track* at
> State of the Map 2018 in Milan [1] and State of the Map 2019 in Heidelberg
> [2], this Track will be included again in the program of State of the Map
> 2020, to be held in Cape Town on July 3-5, 2020. The main purpose of the
> Academic Track is to bring together and foster interactions between the
> OpenStreetMap community at large (contributors, developers, users, etc.)
> and the academic/scientific community of researchers from all over the
> world.
>
> A designated Scientific Committee will be responsible for the organization
> of the Academic Track, co-chaired by Marco Minghini (on behalf of the OSMF
> State of the Map Working Group) and Serena Coetzee (on behalf of the South
> Africa local team). We hereby issue a call for applications, inviting all
> interested individuals to apply to join the Scientific Committee. This team
> will be in charge of:
>
>    - writing and publishing the call for abstracts/papers for the Academic
>    Track at State of the Map 2020
>    - designing and managing the review process of the submitted abstracts,
>    deciding which ones to accept for oral presentation or poster
> presentation
>    - defining the Academic Track schedule at State of the Map 2020, by
>    working in close contact with the Programme Committee
>    <https://2020.stateofthemap.org/cfp/#committee>
>    - planning and managing possible publication outputs, e.g. conference
>    proceedings and/or or a Special Issue in a scientific journal
>
> The Academic Track Scientific Committee will be composed by Marco and
> Serena plus additional people that would be selected through this open
> call. The number of additional people is not defined a priori and will
> depend on the number and quality of applications received.
>
> Thus, we invite applications for *researchers or academics* to be part of
> the Academic Track Scientific Committee. The call is open to everyone
> interested. *Applications shall be made exclusively by sending an e-mail to
