[OSM-talk] State of the Map 2022 - Academic Track: Call for Abstracts

[Federica Gaspari]

Dear all,

this year's State of the Map conference, a hybrid conference taking place in Florence and online simultaneously, will feature the fifth edition of the Academic Track - a full day of sessions dedicated to  academic research about, and with, OpenStreetMap (see the last year's Academic Track<https://2021.stateofthemap.org/calls/academic/>). The goal of the Track is to showcase the research and innovation of scientific investigations into OpenStreetMap, while at the same time providing a bridge to connect members of the OpenStreetMap community and the academic community through an open passage to exchange ideas and opportunities for increased collaboration. We expect empirical, methodological, conceptual, or literature-review-based contributions addressing any scientific aspect related to OpenStreetMap, in particular, but not limited to, the following:

  *   Extrinsic or intrinsic quality assessment of OpenStreetMap data
  *   Analysis of contribution patterns in OpenStreetMap
  *   Generation of new and scientifically valuable datasets from OpenStreetMap
  *   Assessments of data import procedures and their impacts on data and community
  *   Integration between OpenStreetMap and other data sources (authoritative, user-generated, or otherwise valuable to OpenStreetMap)
  *   Analysis/comparison of available software for scientific purposes related to OpenStreetMap
  *   Novel approaches to facilitate or improve data collection and/or data quality in OpenStreetMap (e.g. through gamification or citizen science approaches)
  *   Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning from, and with OpenStreetMap (e.g. AI-assisted mapping)
  *   Open research problems in OpenStreetMap and challenges for the scientific community
  *   Cultural, political, and organizational aspects of data production and usage practices in OpenStreetMap
  *   Studies using OpenStreetMap data in scientific domains
  *   Reviews of any scientific aspect connected to OpenStreetMap
In an effort to improve the interaction and collaboration between the academic and the more general OpenStreetMap communities, authors are invited to particularly highlight the practical implications or impacts of their research on the OpenStreetMap community at large.

Guidelines for submission

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts using the State of the Map 2022 Pretalx submission system<https://pretalx.com/orga/event/state-of-the-map-2022-academic-track/login/?next=/orga/event/state-of-the-map-2022-academic-track/&>. Deadline for submission is 10 May 2022.
Learn more about the process and requirements on the dedicated blog post<https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2022/04/14/state-of-the-map-2022-academic-track-call-for-abstracts/> and on the official SotM2022 website<https://2022.stateofthemap.org/calls/academic/>.
We can't wait to learn more about your exiting projects and research about OSM!
Stay tuned for updates on State of the Map 2022 Firenze,
On behalf of the SotM2022 Organising Committee,
