 *Call for papers - FSR Doctoral Consortium (Rome, 26th February 2014)*


In conjunction with the “FSR – Faster, smarter, and richer. Reshaping the
library catalogue” international conference (27th-28th February 2013) <
http://fsr2014.org/>, the Doctoral Consortium provides an excellent
opportunity both for the beginners as well as the senior PhD students to
present their ideas, receive feedback on their work, explore issues of
academic and research careers with experienced researchers and
professionals in the field and build relationship with other PhD students
working in the research areas of FSR Conference.


The symposium – which will be held in Rome on 26th February 2013 - welcomes
submissions by PhD candidates working on the topics of FSR. You can consult
the list of FSR Conference topics at <
http://www.aib.it/attivita/congressi/fsr-2014/2013/36531-cfp>.


*Eligibility*

The Doctoral Consortium is open to all PhD Students. PhD Students at the
beginning of their work are particularly welcome when they have a specific
research proposal with a well-defined problem statement and preliminary
results and ideas about the solution that they want to discuss. PhD
students in a more advanced stage of their work should still have a
sufficient time before completing their dissertation to be able to benefit
from the symposium experience.


*Submission guidelines*

Submissions should be written based on the following structure:

   - Problem: describe the core problem of the PhD and motivate its
   relevance
   - State of the art: describe relevant related work
   - Proposed approach: present the approach taken and motivate how this is
   novel with respect to existing works
   - Methodology: sketch the methodology that is (or will be) adopted and,
   in particular, the approach to be taken for evaluating the results of the
   work
   - Results: describe the current status of the work and any results that
   have been reached so far
   - Conclusions and future work: conclude and specify the major items of
   future work.
   - Papers should not exceed 30,000 characters. Please provide
   bibliography with cited works only. Papers must be in PDF (Adobe’s Portable
   Document Format) format and must be submitted electronically.
   - Submissions must be single-author, on the topic of the doctoral work.
   The name of the supervisor must be clearly marked (« supervised by … ») on
   the paper, under the author’s name.
   - All papers must be written in English. Please send your submission
   directly by email to the Doctoral Consortium coordinator with Subject “TPDL
   2013 Doctoral Consortium Submission”.

   conference in a special issue of JLIS.it, Italian Journal of Library and
   information science, peer-reviewed and open access, <
   http://leo.cilea.it/index.php/jlis>
   - A panel of prominent researchers and professionals in the LIS (Library
   and Information Science) field participating in the FSR Doctoral Consortium
   Committee will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions
   and comment on the content of the work as well as on the presentation.
   Students will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the
   main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far, and how they
   plan to continue their work. The following 20 minutes are reserved for
   discussion and feedback from the panel of reviewers. The Doctoral
   Consortium will take place on a single full day. Up to 10 students will
   have the opportunity to participate.
   - Awards for Best FSR Doctoral Consortium Paper will be conferred at the FSR
   Conference on 28th February 2014.
