R2CASS 2025: International workshop on "Social Science Meets Web Data: Reproducible and Reusable Computational Approaches"
Co-located with ICWSM 2025: International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media Copenhagen, Denmark | June 23, 2025 Workshop website: https://r2cass2025.wordpress.com/ Submission link: https://easychair.org/cfp/R2CASS2025 ------------------------------- Call for papers: R2CASS2025 – International workshop “Social Science Meets Web Data: Reproducible and Reusable Computational Approaches” at ICWSM 2025 Paper submission deadline: March 31st, 2025 Website: https://r2cass2025.wordpress.com/ Submission: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=r2ca The first international workshop “Social Science Meets web Data: Reproducible and Reusable Computational Approaches” (R2CASS2025) will be held in conjunction with “International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media” (ICWSM 2025) in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 23rd, 2025. The workshop will be held in-person and at least one author of the accepted papers will be required to register and present it in the workshop. The papers presented will be published in the workshop proceedings of the conference. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based models have a growing influence in social science research for analyzing behavioral patterns on social media and other digital platforms. Computational reproducibility has been a concern with these models as they deal with living data that is likely to change, contain personal information and therefore, ethical restrictions on their use. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas towards potential interdisciplinary collaborations from computer science, social science, meta-science and other related disciplines. It provides a platform to present and critically analyze computational reproducibility guidelines and checklists for social sciences. The participants will focus on the open challenges and propose methodologies in computational reproducibility for social science towards improving research transparency, reproducibility, and reusability. Workshop participants are also encouraged to volunteer for and participate in the interactive replicability session attempting to replicate existing methods on sample data. (for participation in the interactive replicability session, please contact the workshop organizers at https://r2cass2025.wordpress.com/contact-2/) The workshop calls for theoretical and practical research contributions that employ qualitative, quantitative and analytical approaches including full papers, short papers, resource papers, position papers and posters on the topics (but not limited to): Data and software management in machine learning and natural language processing-driven studies Computational methods on sentiment analysis, bias analysis, toxicity, and sexism detection Text categorization and topic analysis Digital behavior analysis on social media and other digital platforms Computational reproducibility checklists and workflows in social science FAIR principles in ML research for social science Open Science applications and reproducibility challenges Metadata standards for ML/NLP research Tools for replicating complex social science models using web-based data Integration of open-source ML/NLP tools for web data analysis Submission guidelines As per AAAI-ICWSM guidelines, all papers must be submitted as high-resolution PDF files formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style, for US Letter (8.5” x 11”) paper. Full papers are recommended to be 8 pages long and must be at most 11 pages long, including only the main text and the references. The mandatory Ethics Checklist (and brief additional Ethics Statement, if desired, see below), optional appendices, etc. do not count toward the page limit and should be placed after the references. Appendices, if they exist, should be placed after the Ethics Checklist. Revision papers and final camera-ready full papers can be up to 12 pages. Dataset papers must be no longer than 10 pages, Poster papers must be no longer than 4 pages, and Demo descriptions must be no longer than 2 pages. No source files (Word or LaTeX) are required at the time of submission for review; only the PDF file is permitted. Finally, the copyright slug may be omitted in the initial submission phase, and no copyright form is required until a paper is accepted for publication.
