++ Important Dates ++

- Submission deadline: April 1st 2019 (extended)

++ Overview ++

Social media is a valuable resource for mining all kind of information
varying from opinions to factual information. However, social media houses
issues that are serious threats to the society. Online information disorder
and its power on shaping public opinion lead the category of those issues.
Among the known aspects are the spread of false rumours, fake news or even
social attacks such as hate speech or other forms of harmful social posts.
In this workshop the aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in social media mining and analysis to deal with the emerging
issues of information disorder and manipulation of public opinion. The
focus of the workshop will be on themes such as the detection of fake news,
verification of rumours and the understanding of their impact on public
opinion.  Furthermore, we aim to put a great emphasis on the usefulness and
trust aspects of automated solutions tackling the aforementioned themes.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in social media mining and analysis to deal with the emerging
issues of veracity assessment, fake news detection and manipulation of
public opinion. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit papers
reporting results on these issues. Qualitative studies performing user
studies on the challenges encountered with the use of social media, such as
the veracity of information and fake news detection, as well as papers
reporting new data sets are also welcome. Finally, we also welcome studies
reporting the usefulness and trust of social media tools tackling the
aforementioned problems.

Proceedings of the workshop will be published jointly with other ICWSM
workshops in a special issue of Frontiers in Big Data.

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format or any format that is
supported by the submission site through
https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/9706 (click on "Submit your
manuscript"). Note, submitting authors should choose one of the specific
track organizers as their preferred Editor.

You can find detailed information on the file submission requirements here:
https://www.frontiersin.org/about/author-guidelines#FileRequirements

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the
programme committee. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings
published at  https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/9706


++ Workshop Format ++

Participants of accepted papers will be given 15 minutes for oral
presentations and 5 minutes for questions. Posters will be presented during
breaks. We also plan to have a group work (groups of size 4-5 attendances)
where each group will sketch a social media tool for tackling e.g. rumour
verification, fake news detection, etc. The emphasis of the sketch should
be on aspects like usefulness and trust. This should take no longer than
120 minutes (sketching, presentation/discussion time).
