5th COMPTEXT Conference – University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 12-13 May, 2023

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on the
Quantitative and Computational Analysis of Textual Data
(COMPTEXT) will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 2-4 May
2024.

COMPTEXT is an international community of quantitative text analysis and
computational social science scholars in political science, international relations and
beyond. COMPTEXT 2024 in Amsterdam follows in the footsteps of previous
conferences in Budapest (2018), Tokyo (2019) and Innsbruck (online, 2020), Dublin
(2022), and Glasgow (2023). COMPTEXT conferences offer ample opportunities to
network with computational scholars, to exchange technological knowledge of
computational methods, and to obtain useful feedback on ongoing research.

For COMPTEXT 2024 in Amsterdam we are seeking paper submissions that:

  • rely on image, video, text or other digital trace data to study social and
    political phenomena broadly construed
  • propose or evaluate new computational methods or tools
  • seek to make contributions at the intersection of social science and computer
    science

We accept both substantive and methodological papers for presentation: substantive
papers may be on any studies in social sciences or humanities that utilize
computational methods; methodological papers may describe new computational
methods, tools and approaches.
In keeping with our tradition, ahead of the conference a series of methods training
tutorials will be held for registered participants. Courses will be offered for both
beginner and advanced level participants.

Submission of Paper Abstracts:
Abstracts of max. 250 words and three substantive and/or methods-related
keywords should be submitted by Wednesday 20 December 2023.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 16 February 2024.
The registration deadline is 15 March 2024.
Please submit your paper at https://forms.gle/VrzhEzJEcTNdM3RN9
Please be advised that a conference fee will be charged for participants with
accepted papers.

Equality, Diversion, and Inclusion:
