practices, and ethics.
Examples of potential WebSci workshop areas include:

Bias on the Web
Data ethics and algorithmic accountability
Digital inequalities: access, quality, and participation
Information privacy and cybersecurity
Learning and education on the Web

Social connections and social influence on the Web
Internet politics and political participation
The evolution of social media services
Online health and wellness
Organizers are responsible for advertising accepted workshops and
tutorials, recruiting participants, and managing the review process if
paper submissions are invited. Successful proposals should also put
together a web page describing the event and distributing any
preliminary materials.
PROPOSAL FORMAT
Proposals should be up to 3 pages long and should include the following
information:
Workshop/tutorial title
Workshop/tutorial summary (1-2 paragraphs)
Workshop/tutorial description, including the motivation and goals of
the proposal, as well as its relevance to the field of Web Science.
Workshop/tutorial schedule and activities, including the format,
proposed activities (panels, sessions, interactive exercises, etc.),
as well as invited speakers or panelists.
Workshop/tutorial organizer info, including names, affiliations,
emails, and personal websites. Please indicate who would be the main

*ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA*
Workshop and tutorial proposals will be evaluated based on their
academic rigor, timeliness, originality, potential to address important
questions and attract large multidisciplinary audiences. Relevance to
the field of Web Science is also a prerequisite for all submissions.
*PROCEEDINGS*
*Workshop organisers are free to publish workshop proceedings. WebSci19
offers the possibility to include workshop papers as a companion
collection of the ACM WebSci19 proceedings. In this case, it is crucial
that workshop schedules are aligned with the schedule for the overall
proceedings publication, i.e. camera-ready papers need to be ready by 1
May 2019. *
