Government Policies and Scientific Collaboration (GPSC)

Call for Abstracts

We are excited to invite submissions for presenting your work at this workshop, which explores the influence of affirmative policies on global research dynamics, scientific collaboration, and knowledge flow. This workshop brings together researchers from network science, machine learning, science studies and related disciplines to discuss the impact of scientific mobility policies. The workshop aims to explore and model the long-term effects of these policies on scientific collaboration networks, global research dynamics, and individual researchers' careers.

Topics of Interest

We invite original submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

• The role of scientific mobility policies in shaping co-authorship and collaboration networks.
• Statistical modeling of structural and dynamic changes in scientific networks.
• Impact of international exchange programs on knowledge flow and topic shifts.
• Algorithmic approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of scientific mobility policies.
• Comparative analyses of countries with and without scientific mobility policies.
• Machine learning techniques for studying global collaboration dynamics.

Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions from researchers across disciplines, including computer science, social science, data science, and policy studies. Submissions should be focused on completed or ongoing work relevant to the workshop themes. Accepted papers will be considered for presentation at the workshop.
