About the Journal

The proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM) provides an archival record of the ICWSM conference — a forum where researchers from multiple disciplines to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of online social media. This overall theme includes research in new perspectives in social theories, as well as computational algorithms for analyzing social media. ICWSM is a singularly fitting venue for research that blends social science and computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions about human social behavior through social media while advancing computational tools for vast and unstructured data.

Each year's volume of the conference proceedings is compiled through a structured, multi-stage process:

• Three submission deadlines each year: May 15, September 15, and January 15. Authors may be invited to revise and resubmit based on reviewer feedback.

• Each year, three to four Program Chairs are appointed. They oversee the review process across all three submission rounds and manage the selection of papers for the annual volume.

• Three Editors-in-Chief serve staggered three-year terms. They maintain continuity across years, oversee submission and review policies and participate in final decisions for paper acceptance.
