CfP/J: CMM Special Issue on Computational Methods

CT&M’s journal Communication Methods and Measures invites submissions for a
special issue on computational methods. Here is the full call for papers:

For this special issue, we invite submissions that further the
understanding, development and application of computational methods in
communication research.Computational methods include (but are not limited
to) methods such as text analysis, topic modeling, social/semantic network
analysis, online experiments, machine learning, and agent-based modeling
and simulations. Computational Methods can be used to build theory about,
quantify, analyze, and visualize communication structures and processes.
Computational methods can be applied to “big data” and social media data,
but can also be used to analyse historical archives (e.g. newspaper
archives, proceedings) or to provide a more sophisticated understanding of
“small data”.
