[Forwarded message from Joachim SCHOPFEL <joachim.schopfel at univ-lille3.fr>]

ETD2016, the 19th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and
Dissertations, will take place from July 11 to July 13, 2016, at Lille. The
conference will be hosted by the University of Lille 3 and co-organized
with the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), an
international organization dedicated to promoting the adoption, creation,
use, dissemination, and preservation of electronic theses and dissertations
(ETDs).

Proposals for papers and posters are invited on all relevant topics in the
field of electronic theses and dissertations, in particular

Advanced technologies and infrastructures
Second generation ETD programs
Open science, open access, open repositories
Initiatives for better introducing PhD students to new ETD technologies
Long-term preservation
Identifiers
ETD publishing and embargoes

Other papers and posters on ETDs can deal with text and data mining,
research evaluation (ETDs and CRIS),  legal and ethical aspects, semantic
enrichment, special collections, digitization programs and national ETD
policies.

The main topic of ETD2016 will be “Data and Dissertations”, with a focus on
initiatives, projects and experiences in the field of research data related
to ETDs. Some questions for papers and posters:

How should such research data be handled?
How do PhD students manage their own datasets?
What should be done to improve their data skills?

And there are many other questions, e.g. legal and ethical issues, formats,
identifiers, storage and long term preservation, workflows, best practices
etc.

We invite participants who want to present a paper or a poster at ETD2016
to submit an English abstract between 400 and 500 words. The abstract
should clearly deal with the problem/goal, the applied methodology, and
anticipated results. The abstract should also include the title of the
paper or poster, name(s) of the author(s), and full address information.
Each submitted abstract will be reviewed in double-blind by at least two
members of the program committee.

Abstracts for full papers and posters must be submitted on the conference
website. Authors will be notified of the program committee's decision by
end of February 2016. This notice will be accompanied by further guidelines
and recommendations.

Extended deadline for full papers: January 31, 2016.

The deadline for posters is April 15, 2016.
