CFP - SIGIR Forum - June 2021 Edition

---====

Dear Colleague

We invite you to submit your contribution to the upcoming December 2020
Edition of the SIGIR Forum, the official newsletter of the ACM Special
Interest Group on Information Retrieval (SIGIR). The SIGIR Forum consists
of two issues (June, December). It serves as a medium for disseminating general
information and opinions on matters of interest to the IR community,
conference and workshop reports, papers and book reviews, and Ph.D.
dissertation abstracts.

*** Call for Contributions for the June 2021 issue ***

We invite contributions to the following categories, including:

  • Reports of IR-related conferences and workshops: Reports from the
    chairpersons of IR-related workshops (such as the satellite workshops of
    SIGIR, JCDL, or CIKM, or other workshops such as NTCIR, INEX) or IR-related
    conferences other than SIGIR (such as ECIR, HLT, SPIRE, or TREC);

  • Papers from IR-related invited talks which are not published in full in
    the relevant conference proceedings;

  • Papers describing new public infrastructures for IR research, such as
    in-depth descriptions of newly available test collections, newly available
    open-source or public domain IR software of particular relevance, new
    evaluation campaigns, etc.;

  • Papers about funding initiatives, industry trends, connections between
    research and industry, legal issues that are of potential interest to the
    IR community at large;

  • Any paper that, while of general interest to the IR community, is
    non-technical, and because of this would be unsuitable for publication in
    technical publishing forums such as the SIGIR Annual Conference;

  • Book reviews, bibliographies of general interest to the IR community;

  • Abstracts of recently published Ph.D. theses of interest to the general
    IR community.

Note: Unless specifically stated, the contents of the SIGIR Forum do not
represent the official position of SIGIR or ACM. Contributions to the Forum
are unrefereed papers unless otherwise indicated. The editorial board may
desk reject papers if they are out of scope. From June 2020 onwards, the
SIGIR Forum newsletter will continue only online.

*** Important dates for the June 2021 Edition ***
