<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thirty years have passed since Tim Berners-Lee’s inception of the World Wide Web. Today, an increasing range of voices are calling for reflection on how well the Web is serving society. As Berners-Lee put it in his 2019 open letter on the
future of the Web, while the Web has created some wonderful opportunities, giving marginalised groups a voice and making our daily lives easier, it has also created opportunities for the spreading of misinformation, hate and crime, and the construction of
systems which are more about process than people. It is time to ask: can the Web be reimagined for the public good? Can it be made more human-centric, and if so, how?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The 12th International ACM Conference on Web Science in 2020 (WebSci’20) is a unique interdisciplinary conference facilitating creative and critical dialogue with the aim of understanding the Web and its impacts
and reflecting on the most pressing questions facing the Web.<br>
<br>
WebSci’20 welcomes participation from diverse fields including (but not limited to) art, anthropology, computer and information sciences, communication, criminology, economics, geography, health sciences, humanities, informatics, international relations, law,
linguistics, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology.<br>
<br>
Following the tradition of earlier conferences, we encourage contributions to WebSci’20 that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. The community engages with novel and thought-provoking ideas and discusses original research, work in progress, analysis,
and practice in the fields of Web Science. This year we also particularly encourage contributions on the interrelationships between the Web, AI and other new digital technologies, exploring current theoretical, methodological, and epistemological challenges
as well as the practices of individuals, collectives, institutions, and platforms.<br>
<br>
<b>Contributions</b><br>
<br>
In particular, we welcome contributions that:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Formats</b><br>
<br>
This year <u>we will have only one format for submission</u>: all contributors will submit an Abstract (max 400 words) followed by full papers of between 6 and 10 pages (inclusive of references, any appendix, etc.). The authors shall adopt the current ACM SIG
Conference proceedings template (acmart.cls), which is available at <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=www.acm.org%2Fpublications%2Fproceedings-template&data=01%7C01%7C%7C45ccd02ed1084974ce3d08d7aee4432e%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=37MOT52RRkzcnTQkGmaGjgpO0R0%2B1YN4uSMpA17QvaA%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template" shash="BWsrcMKtUQ5hvJjchEuNzoXVnQWMlRIMeL2/+N2Bt9Y3v/D7R4AJe+x7NKT9o/C7z3kV1coSVDr7pShl08ofvqKSRRvxQ+XjBKFLtrIfyvmih1Ib1iCuRALPdWJnDrjkJK2oExVXqtJB3R2RLTMJtoGlTwQPb0Xot7G8lNK/kN0=">

<br>
We strongly encourage authors to consider using the ACM LaTeX template on Overleaf platform which is available (ACM Conference Proceedings “Master” Template) at
<a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=www.overleaf.com%2Fgallery%2Ftagged%2Facm-official%23.WOuOk2e1taQ&data=01%7C01%7C%7C45ccd02ed1084974ce3d08d7aee4432e%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=7A8ZAvQj3Pd0mmbQftzc8jHSsm3bcpkUGFmqgGa%2B3h0%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ" shash="F8LKJdoA6izuSf5ANfcwf4hqvg4TtEYilTLmiyKPT3xMFVkuzCibohXq8/J3Gvyt/HK+7a2mRQWnVpfhpb+sJgboNnioEk5/orVi0ep2MnSiAHMeERFBtyqUvr++smZIcVOvg+WkXBUy2Ik0WJ+LLT73bXhTvHLXFy3GQOJ4j4w=">

<br>
At the submission stage, there will be no distinction between long (full) and short papers. Upon acceptance, authors will be given the opportunity to express their preference between presenting their contribution as an extended talk (15 minutes), or short talk
(10 minutes). All authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit posters if they wish to do so, to be presented during the poster session(s) at the conference in addition to the oral presentation.<br>
<br>
All contributions will be judged by the Program Committee upon rigorous peer review standards for quality and fit to the conference, by at least three referees (including a Senior PC member). We will adopt a single-blind review process. Do not anonymise your
submissions. Submissions without authorship information will be desk-rejected without review.<br>
<br>
For authors who wish to opt-out of publication proceedings, this option will be made available upon acceptance. This will encourage the participation of researchers from the social sciences that prefer to publish their work as journal articles. Opting-out of
the proceedings does not prevent the authors from presenting their work as oral and poster.<br>
