WAPOR Annual Conference
4-6 September 2014, Nice, France
Call for Participation
Submission Deadline:
February 2, 2014, 23:59 GMT
The World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) will hold its 67th
annual conference on 4-6 September 2014, Nice, France at the Radisson Blu,
located on the French Riviera. The conference will convene immediately before
ESOMAR’s annual meeting, also in Nice.
Conference Theme: Extensible Public Opinion
The term “extensible” is used in computer science to refer to a concept that can
be extended in novel ways. As such, this year's conference theme recognizes the
non-static and expanding nature of public opinion, which has evolved in tandem
with new ideas and technologies. Understanding that a core goal of research is
to link results from different domains, we encourage papers using extended
methodologies and theories to bridge and link new developments with more
standard activities. We particularly encourage papers that grow out of computer
science or information systems, where new technologies relevant to traditional
public opinion research are being developed.
WAPOR welcomes abstract submissions that focus on public opinion topics both old
and new. These topics include, but are not restricted to:
• Public opinion theory
• Measurement issues and designs
• Sampling issues and designs
• Response rates and non-response error
• Online surveys
• Substantive social issues including those in politics, elections, health, and
the environment
• Analysis new types of data collected electronically including "big data"
• Cross-national research
• Sentiment analysis and opinion mining
• Emerging tools that enable the capturing of public opinion
• Public opinion and intergroup relations
• The relationship between media exposure and public opinion
Submission Instructions
Submission deadline: February 2, 2014, 23:59 GMT
Submission decisions: March 3, 2014
Completed papers following APA formatting guidelines: August 21, 2014
Submissions to this conference can be of two types: individual submissions and
panels.
All submissions should be made online at
https://umn.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0k3tUzx4BKlU309
Submissions are made without user logins. The advantage is simplicity, the
disadvantage is that you cannot stop and resume later. You will need to start
over. Therefore, you should have this information available before you start:
1. All submitters should be prepared to fill in the first name, surname,
organization, unambiguous city name (e.g. include the state for USA addresses),
country and email address for all authors.
2. All submitters should be prepared to submit a title and an abstract
with a maximum of 500 words.
3. Along with their abstract, all submitters can – but are not required to
– prepare a Tweet-sized explanation for why a conference attendee should be
interested in their paper. If provided, this explanation will be included in
the program below the title. (Words for this explanation are not included in
the 500-word abstract length.)
4. Special instructions for panels:
a. Every panel should have an organizer who will submit an abstract with a
500 word limit with the panel's theme, the titles, speakers, and justifications
for each of the 4-5 papers on the panel.
b. Every speaker (including the organizer if the organizer is a speaker)
should make the submission described in points 1-5 above.
c. The organizer should give to all speakers the organizer's email address
as the identifier for the panel. Use of the email address as the panel
identifier means that each submitter can only propose one panel.
