CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Online Social Networks and Media Journal http://www.journals.elsevier.com/online-social-networks-and-media/ Special Issue on Dynamics ON and OF social networks and media Submission Deadline: July 21st, 2019 ****************************************************************************************************************** Manuscripts can be submitted continuously until the deadline. Once a paper is submitted the review process will start immediately and after (maximum) 4-5 weeks (as soon as the review process of that paper is completed) the authors will receive the first notification. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (in the first issue available as soon as the paper is accepted). All accepted papers will be listed together in an online virtual special issue published on the journal website. ****************************************************************************************************************** Online Social Networks and Media have a high scientific and economic value because the big data collected from these platforms provide a sort of social microscope to investigate and understand human behavior and interests, both in the cyber and in the physical world. Network Science is a powerful approach to study the relations, interactions, and the organization of these socio-technical systems. The analysis of network dynamics represents one of the biggest challenges emerged in recent years. Real-life networks cannot be considered anymore as static entities that we can pin to the wall and measure once and for all. They are, on the contrary, subject to several dynamic processes: Dynamic ON the network. In this category fall all those phenomena that take place over a complex network structure and are constrained by it: examples are information propagation, epidemics, viral diffusion, word of mouth, etc. Dynamic OF the network. As time goes by network topology may change, node and edges appear/vanish. Such perturbations, reflects the mutable interactions of relations between actors, of the evolution of the actors themselves. This special issue seeks high-quality scientific articles (both theoretical and experimental) and survey papers focusing on using OSNEM data for the analysis of dynamics ON and OF networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Diffusion of information Evolutionary community/cluster discovery and tracking Network event detection Dynamic GNN / Graph embedding Dynamic network visualization Epidemic models on graphs Higher order networks Time-aware Link prediction Dynamical processes on networks Markovian dynamics on networks Dynamic network generative models Guest Editors Giulio Rossetti, ISTI-CNR, Italy Remy Cazabet, University of Lyon, France *** Instructions for submission *** Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and are also required to submit their published conference article(s) and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www.editorialmanager.com/osnem. Please select “SI_NetworkDynamics” when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified, for consideration by the special issue, the authors should indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript has been submitted for the special issue on Dynamics ON and OF social networks and media.
