Social media, including but not limited to Web 2.0
applications such as blogs, social network sites (e.g.,
Facebook and Google+), content communities (e.g., Youtube,
Wikipedia), online Forums, is affecting everyone’s life.
Nowadays, people are not only using these applications for
communicating with their friends and love ones, but also for
entertainment, information search, and sharing of opinions. At
the same time, business enterprises and government agencies
also use social media for engaging with their consumers and
citizens, and hoping for creating business opportunities and
enlisting their supports, respectively. As a result, there is
an imminent need for all the stakeholders, including both
private and public organizations, members of the public,
academics, and practitioners to gain a better understanding on
this new form of communication tool.
To investigate into the impact of social media to the society,
and in particular, on the development of social media systems
and services, we now call for research related various aspects
of social media. We intentionally seeks scientists, engineers,
educators, solution developers, policy makers, management,
analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and
understanding of the big challenges in the development of
Social Media Systems and Services. In particular, we are
interested in interdisciplinary research, which synthesizes
theories and models from communication, computer science,
economics, information systems, marketing, psychology, and
service sciences. This special issue also aims at helping in
communicating and disseminating relevant recent research
across disciplines, cultures, and communities.
Topics include but not limited to:
- Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, and
social issues of social media
- Psychological and personality-based studies of social
media
- The role of social media in business, for both small and
medium enterprises and major companies, in the context of
E-business and E-service
- Social media research based on theories in customer
relationship management and consumer behavior
- Information search, collaborative filtering, and
personalization in social media
- New social media application development
- The role of social media in politics and social activism
- Law enforcement issues related to social media
- The impact of social media on E-learning
- The role of social media in service science
- Social network analysis
- Trust and reputation issues in social media
- Measuring predictability of real world phenomena based
on social media
