*Special issue â?? Community Informatics and Data Literacy Journal of
Community Informatics (http://ci-journal.net)*

**

Call for Submission v2 â?? Important: deadline extended to the 18th of
December 2015

A special issue of the international Journal of Community Informatics
(http://ci-journal.net) will be devoted to Data Literacy. Community
Informatics (CI) is the study and the practice of enabling communities
with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs). This special
issue will focus on the role of data literacy and its possible
applications, such as Data Journalism, Smart Cities, E-Government,
Data-Based Services, Data Intermediaries, Data Visualization, Statistics
for Data Interpretation and Data Collaboration to empower and enable
communities. The issue is expected to be published in June 2016. The
Journal of Community Informatics is a focal point for the communication
of research of interest to a global network of academics, community
informatics practitioners and national and multi-lateral policy makers.

*Call for papers*

The field of CI seeks to explore the potential of information and
communication technologies and their applications for social and
economic development efforts at the community level. It particularly
seeks to ensure that marginalized individuals and communities can
benefit from the opportunities that ICTs can provide. Increasingly, data
literacy has been identified as a requirement to make effective use of
these opportunities. However, very little attention has been paid to
defining what data literacy means, how it can be achieved and which are
the impact of its applications.

Data literacy refers to the skills, knowledge and context needed to make
effective use of data on the web. It includes the ICT skills to find,
access and manipulate data; the statistical and subject matter skills to
interpret and use the data; and also the context needed to provide the
opportunity and motivation to use the data. It can be seen as a
characteristic of an individual or a community. Recently there have been
calls for greater data literacy from communities as diverse as the open
data movement (who see it as essential if open data is to fulfil its
promise of greater transparency and engagement) and the citizen science
movement (who see it as required for citizens to understand, engage in,
and support science). This raises fundamental concerns in CI such as the
power of those who are data literate relative to those who are not, and
the right of experts to demand skills of the population as a whole.
However, these debates need to be underpinned with a clearer and more
detailed description of what data literacy is, why it is needed, and
concrete examples of success (and fail) cases. Work on data literacy has
remained the domain of educationalists and librarians, but the increased
use of data in many areas has created a pressing need for a more
multi-disciplinary view.

For this special issue of the Journal on Data Literacy, we are inviting
submissions of original, unpublished articles. Potential topics include
(but are not limited to):

  * What do we mean by data literacy?
  * Why do we need data literacy?
  * How should data literacy be achieved?
  * What are the broader political, social and philosophical
    implications of data literacy?
  * What are the practical implications of data literacy?
  * What is the role of data intermediaries or facilitators? Is Data
    literacy for everybody, or will we always have the need for
    intermediaries between the creators/providers of the data and the
    consumers in order to provide insight on the context and meaning of
    the data?
  * Using Data Literacy for:
      o Enabling data journalism
      o Making research more sustainable and reproducible over time
      o Enabling smart cities for all
      o Enhancing efficiency of e-Government
      o Enabling data-based services
      o Creating and understanding data visualization
      o Data collaboration and crowsourced data
      o Understading control/surveilance/access limitation over the Internet
  * The role of statistics for data interpretation

We welcome research articles, along with case studies and notes from the
field. All research articles will be double blind peer-reviewed.
Insights and analytical perspectives from practitioners and policy
makers in the form of notes from the field or case studies are also
encouraged â?? these will be reviewed by the editors.

*Closing date for submission of full papers: *30 September 2015 18th
December 2015
