Web Science is a young adult! On WebSci12.
Posted by: clare on: July 19, 2012
Although almost a month has passed since WebSci’12 — and although I had to leave the conference early — I’d like to share my reflections on the day-and-a-half I spent there after the WebSci-Teach workshop. Friday 22 June: NetSci as WebSci, social networking, posters and more I was intrigued to find that Kleinberg’s WebSci opening keynote was [...]
Teaching Web Science: WebSci’12 workshop
Posted by: clare on: July 8, 2012
A couple of weeks have already passed since the WebSci’12 WebSci-Teach workshop. This was run by Stéphane Bazan, Su White and Hugh Davis, and concerned how we go about teaching Web Science in practice. Reasons to talk about this include the youth of the WebSci curriculum, the barriers of teaching across disciplines, and issues such as [...]
Web Science and Human-Computer Interaction: When Disciplines Collide

I’m really excited about the paper I’m presenting today. It’s entitled Web Science and Human-Computer Interaction: When Disciplines Collide.

The poster is based on our note, written with Evangelos Kalampokis, entitled Dissecting the Butterfly: Representation of Disciplines Publishing at the Web Science Conference Series. In a nutshell, we’re presenting the method we used to gain initial insight into disciplinary representation at [...]
Replicating research: on the RepliCHI SIG and industrial research
Posted by: clare on: June 17, 2012
A while ago I promised that I’d speak a little more about Max Wilson‘s RepliCHI SIG at CHI’12 — alongside the discussions I had about interactions between research and practice, this SIG was one of my CHI highlights (CHIlights? No? Just me? Oh, ok then). Anyways: there are lots of reasons to care about replication [...]
Two Web Science papers about, well, Web Science
Posted by: clare on: April 7, 2012
I was delighted to find that both of the papers I submitted to WebSci’12 were accepted, with good reviews at that. I’ve frequently discussed Web Science in the past: in a nutshell, it’s the study of the impact of the internet upon society, and vice versa — it’s about human behaviour online, whether in terms [...]
