IfK Represented With 14 Contributions at the 70th Annual ICA Conference
(25.05.2020) This year's 70th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (ICA) with the main topic "Open Communication" will take place from 20-26 May as a virtual conference. Researchers* from the Münster Department of Communication will be represented with 14 contributions.
Under the title "Open Communication", this year's ICA Annual Conference will focus on the Open Science movement and its significance for the field of communication science research.
Open Science is a concept that aims to advance science by promoting transparency and collaboration in the research process and the creation of publicly accessible knowledge. This can be done, for example, by publishing interim results and data sets, or by opening up the scientific process, for example through public participation.
The ICA Annual Conference would like to encourage an exchange on how best practices can be developed and experiences about "Open Communication Science" can be shared in order to further increase both the quality of research and the transparency of research processes in communication science.
The ICA would like to encourage contributions and panels with collaboration between different research areas and practices and adjacent disciplines; in particular, contributions focusing on digital communication, platform lockdown, and interesting tensions between practices in data science and open science.
With 11 pre- and post-conferences, the conference will take place from 20 to 26 May. Among the accepted papers for this year's conference are 14 contributions by or with participation of IfK scientists*:
