Call for Papers: JOHD Special Collection on Language Data Reuse
by Gorgaini, E. (Elisa) 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite contributions to a Special Collection of the Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD) dedicated to language data reuse. The special collection is titled “Language datasets reuse: opportunities, challenges, and best practices”. This Special Collection will highlight how existing deposited mono- and multilingual language datasets (in any modality) have been reused in research across the humanities. Contributions may also describe cases where dataset reuse led to the creation of a new dataset. We welcome papers that present both successful and less successful experiences of language data reuse, with reflection on encountered issues and lessons learned. Position papers on how data creators can maximize the future reuse potential of language datasets are also encouraged. We invite the following type of submission: * Discussion papers (3,000–5,000 words): Longer narratives illustrating the reuse of one or more existing deposited language datasets (preferably created by researchers other than the authors) or showcasing reuse-focused dataset design approaches. Papers should follow the discussion paper template for this Special Collection<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LnlJPZX-lNQxtvAiI_9T3Bkio3V1bFKD/edit?u…>. Key information: * Submission deadline: 30 January 2026 * Submission link: https://account.openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/index.php/up-j-johd/submissi… * Publication fees: Waivers are available upon request. For papers describing reuse of datasets hosted in a CLARIN centre, publication fees may be covered by CLARIN. Guest Editorial Team * Darja Fišer (Executive Director of CLARIN; University of Ljubljana; Institute of Contemporary History, Slovenia) * Francesca Frontini (ILC-CNR, Pisa; CLARIN-IT;, Italy) Coordinating Editor * Paola Marongiu (ILC-CNR, Pisa) We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the conversation on the reuse of language data in the humanities. With best regards, The Special Collection Editorial Team --- Elisa Gorgaini Communication Officer - CLARIN ERIC Utrecht University | Drift 10, 3512 BS Utrecht, The Netherlands e.gorgaini(a)uu.nl<mailto:e.gorgaini@uu.nl> | elisa(a)clarin.eu<mailto:elisa@clarin.eu> www.clarin.eu<https://www.clarin.eu>

[CfP] ECIR 2026: Reprod. & IR-for-Good abstracts Oct 14/21
by Yifei Yuan 10 Sep '25

10 Sep '25

Announcing the call for papers for #ECIR2026 IR-for-Good Track: https://ecir2026.eu/calls/call-for-ir-for-good-papers Abstracts due: Oct 21 Papers due: Oct 28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This year, we are revamping the #IR4Good track as a core track at the conference which will run alongside the main conference, not on workshop day. The special track will be a platform to highlight top societally-motivated IR research. We strongly encourage authors to submit societally-motivated papers to this special track. We invite contributions that explore new positions, critiques, tools, methods, datasets, and interventions for IR-for-Good, including works informed by interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics of interest for the #IR4Good track include how IR research and practices can contribute towards realizing more equitable, emancipatory, and sustainable collective futures. ----------------------------------- Theories of Change To ensure desired societal impact, this year we require all submissions that propose new tools, methods, datasets, and interventions to explicitly and rigorously argue how the work contributes towards positive social outcomes. Authors should critically engage with these questions, not just as an afterthought. Do not inflate your claims of societal impact, instead rigorously deliberate on your sociotechnical assumptions and potential negative externalities. Please see the CFP for example cases illustrating the kind of critical reflections we want to encourage authors and reviewers to engage in when claiming societal impact. Position papers and critiques are exempted from this requirement. We are looking forward to your submissions to the track. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
