Dear DH-Japan list members,
We are pleased to announce the 6th DISC (Data, Innovation, Social Network & Convergence) 2021 Conference.
Conference Dates: June 18 - 19, 2021 (JST)
Abstract Submissions April 22, 2021 (JST)
Conference Organizers
Leslie Tkach-Kawasaki (University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan)
Manuela Hartwig (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba,
Japan)
Han Woo Park (Yeungnam University, Daegu, Gyeong-san, South Korea)
Cyber Emotions Research Institute (YeungNam University, Daegu,
Gyeong-san, South Korea)
About the Conference
We are pleased to announce that the 6th DISC (Data, Innovation, Social
Network & Convergence) 2021 Conference will be organized as a completely
ONLINE event to be held June 18-19, 2021 (JST) using Zoom.
Traditionally, DISC conferences have focused on evidence-based
methodologies to analyze complex social interactions as a means of
understanding social and technological change. We welcome research from
a broad array of fields and are especially interested in comprehensive
trans-disciplinary approaches that integrate Triple Helix (TH) studies
with approaches such as webometrics, scientometrics, informetrics,
datametrics, and technometrics (WSIDT). Applying these methods in turn
to different academic fields such as policy and technology studies,
business, communications, creative industries, sociology, information
technology, and tourism can yield new insights (paradigms) in
understanding social phenomena.
At this year’s conference, we want to simultaneously situate DISC’s
traditional emphasis on TH and WSIDT and extend such trajectories to
current global crises. First, the COVID-19 pandemic changes ways of
working, learning, and living (“new normal”), which affects academic
research, businesses, and cultures. Methods and applications of social
research have to be reconsidered. Second, simultaneously, accelerating
climate change threatens civilizations and world societies have to
achieve net-zero carbon emissions within the next 30 years by 2050.
These circumstances show that we are in dire need of systemic changes.
Ultimately, our goal for DISC 2021 is to discuss what motivates social
systems to change and what kind of future systems we can expect to
emerge out of these challenging times.
General Conference Tracks
Track 1 “Triple Helix and Webometrics”: Triple Helix (TH) and
Webometrics, Scientometrics, Informetrics, Datametrics, & Technometrics
(WSIDT)
Track 2 “Applications of SNA to the Humanities and Social Sciences”:
Applications of quantitative and qualitative social network analysis in
humanities (including digital humanities), social sciences, and
multi-disciplinary studies.
Track 3 “Asian Innovations in Social and Technological Change”:
Identifying and discussing Asian approaches to social innovations and
technological change with a focus on practices and applications.
Special Conference Tracks
Special Track 1 “Networks and Societies in the Post-COVID-19 World”:
Rethinking network analysis from qualitative and quantitative
perspectives, and the future of social network research in the “new
normal” post-COVID era.
Special Track 2 “The ‘Big Environment’ Era: Realizing the 2030 SDGs and
a Decarbonized World in 2050”: Stakeholders in the future net-zero
carbon emissions society. What will the world in 2050 look like, and how
will actor roles and relationships change?
Submissions
DISC 2021 accepts panel and/or individual paper submissions (see below
for submission details).
Postgraduate student and early-career researcher panels are especially
encouraged, and we have set aside space in each track for such panels.
Participants may have up to three roles during the conference. For
example, they can be authors or co-authors on up to two papers plus be a
discussant on a panel. Participants are not allowed to present more than
once on a single panel.
Panel submissions
Panels are made up of three to five individual papers and must have at
least one organizer and a discussant. Presentations should be about 20
minutes each, with 20 minutes at the end of each panel session devoted
to Q & A.
Panels may be completely pre-recorded and submitted or be conducted in a
hybrid “live” online manner. Please note that the panel organizer is
responsible for organizing the content and flow of the panel, including
gathering any pre-recorded papers/presentations and organizing the
hybrid environment.

published in the Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA). We are
currently making proposals to both journals.
