Call for Papers: InSITE 2025

The Informing Science Institute, in collaboration with the Hiroshima Institute of Technology (HIT), invites submissions to the InSITE 2025 conference in Hiroshima, Japan, from July 20-24, 2025, with a post-conference tour from July 25-27.

Theme: "Resilience and Innovation: Shaping the Future through Global Collaboration"

Submission Types

The conference welcomes the following submission types:

• Full research submissions: Papers or research in progress that you would like to present at the conference and which, if accepted, will appear in the conference proceedings. These will go through a regular peer review process. Indicate if you prefer your research to be considered empirical or qualitative.
• Research-in-Progress: An opportunity to present research normally in progress at or before the proposal phase. These submissions will be screened by the program committee. When you submit your research-in-progress paper, start its title with [Research-in-Progress].
• Practical and Discussion: Similar to a Research-in-Progress paper, you may submit a practical paper or a discussion paper. This provides you with the opportunity to present and showcase your thoughts and ideas for review. These submissions will be screened by the program committee. When you submit your paper, start its title with [PRACTICAL PAPER] or [DISCUSSION PAPER].
• Abstract Only. You may submit a full paper or a partial paper (even just an extended abstract) and specify that you wish only the abstract to be published if accepted. When you submit your paper, start its title with [ABSTRACT ONLY]. These submissions will be reviewed by an executive review.
• Poster submissions: Submissions in the form of a 24″ x 36″ poster that will be mounted for a poster session. These will be editorially screened, with the expectation that most will be accepted. When you submit your poster proposal, start its title with [POSTER].
• Panels and workshops: Interactive sessions dealing with subjects likely to of interest to conference participants. Panels consist of multiple presenters whereas workshops are expected to be more tutorial in nature. When you submit your panel or workshop proposal, start its title with [PANEL] or [WORKSHOP].

For posters, panels, and workshops, submit a brief description of what you propose.
