CALL FOR PAPERS
AMCIS 2020, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, August 12-16
MINI-TRACK: The Dark Side of Social Media
TRACK: Social computing
DESCRIPTION
The wide adoption of social media has shifted every aspect of
people’s life from personal interaction to how organizations reach
their customers. While the impacts and outcomes of social media
have attracted increasing scholarly attention in recent years, the
opportunities, problems, and risks in social media use remain
profound and therefore call for continued research. This
mini-track invites papers that identify and address the under
researched areas in social media. By assembling a wide array of
studies, this track aims to 1) identify new concepts and
phenomenon of social media application, 2) explore the aspects of
social media that negatively impact people’s personal lives or
disrupt the operation of organizations and societies. 3) address
the challenges of maintaining a safe and productive environment
for social computing.
Empirical, theoretical, or position papers are welcome in this
track. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the
following:
- Phenomenon of current social media application
- Novice concepts as the result of social media use
