Back to Tracks Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers This special track is an excellent opportunity for scientists, scholars and professionals throughout the Iberosphere to present their latest research results, and to exchange views or experience in the information field: Library and Information Science, Data Science and related areas. We understand the Iberosphere in the broadest sense: countries where Portuguese or Spanish are official languages, irrespective of the continent. Also, participants from all over the world, knowledgeable in Portuguese or Spanish language, are welcome to submit. Submissions to this track may be either in Spanish or in Portuguese language. Also, an English version of the title and abstract of the paper is required. Navigation Spanish Portuguese English Chairs Publication Accepted papers will be published in Information Research (IR), an established international peer-reviewed open access journal indexed in Scopus , Web of Science Core Collection , and DBLP . Español Esta sección especial es una excelente oportunidad para que científicos, académicos y profesionales de toda la Iberosfera presenten sus últimos resultados de investigación e intercambien opiniones y experiencias en el campo de la información: Biblioteconomía y Documentación, Ciencia de Datos y áreas afines. Entendemos la Iberosfera en el sentido más amplio: países donde el portugués o el español son lenguas oficiales, independientemente del continente.

Además, se requiere una versión en inglés del título y el resumen del artículo. Short Reseach Papers (Comunicaciones breves) El objetivo de los Short Research Papers en este track es presentar temas innovadores y transversales en forma de presentación breve. Los trabajos de investigación breves pueden incluir, entre otros, revisiones críticas de la literatura sobre un tema emergente, la construcción de una teoría que está en las primeras etapas de desarrollo, o nuevos análisis o métodos aplicados a los datos existentes. Los artículos breves son contribuciones más centradas y sucintas al programa de investigación, y es probable que su alcance sea menor que el de los artículos de investigación completos. Por ejemplo, los artículos breves sobre el diseño de aplicaciones pueden no cubrir todo el ciclo de diseño (observación, diseño, implementación, evaluación, etc.), sino que pueden profundizar en ciertas áreas específicas. Full Research Papers (Comunicaciones completas) Los artículos de investigación completos deben presentar resultados nuevos y originales de investigaciones empíricas y experimentos, o de desarrollo de teorías y modelos. Los trabajos completos deben abrir nuevos caminos y proporcionar un apoyo sustancial a sus resultados y conclusiones. También se fomentan los trabajos que presenten un nuevo diseño de sistemas o implicaciones para el diseño.

Trabalhos oriundos de pesquisas iniciais podem incluir, mas não estão limitados a, revisões críticas da literatura de um tópico emergente, construção de teoria em estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento ou novas análises/métodos aplicados a dados existentes. Os Short Research Papers são contribuições mais focadas e sucintas e provavelmente possuem um escopo de contribuição menor do que os trabalhos oriundos de pesquisa finalizadas. Por exemplo, pesquisas sobre design de aplicativos podem não cobrir todo o ciclo de design iterativo (observação, design, implementação, avaliação etc.), mas podem se aprofundar em áreas específicas. Trabalhos de Pesquisas Finalizadas Os Full Research Papers devem apresentar resultados de pesquisas novos e originais de investigações e experimentos empíricos, ou de teoria e desenvolvimento de modelos. Os Full Research Papers devem abrir novos caminhos e proporcionar suporte substancial relacionados aos resultados e conclusões.

Short Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers The goal of the Short Research Papers in this track is to present new, provocative, and cross-cutting themes in a short paper submission. Short research papers might include, but are not limited to, critical literature reviews of an emerging topic, theory building that is in the early stages of development, or new analysis / methods applied to existing data. Short papers are more focused and succinct contributions to the research program and are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than Full Research Papers. For example, short papers on applications design may not cover the entire iterative design cycle (observation, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.) but may instead go into depth in specific areas. Full Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers Full Research Papers should present new and original research results from empirical investigations and experiments, or from theory and model development. Full Papers must break new ground and provide substantial support for its results and conclusions. Papers presenting a new system design or implications for design are also encouraged.
