International Conference on Web and Social Media
Short Title: ICWSM

Date: 01-May-2027 - 31-May-2027
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics;
Discourse Analysis; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics

We're thrilled to announce that the International Conference on Web
and Social Media 2027 (ICWSM 2027) will take place in Edinburgh,
Scotland!
ICWSM 2027 foregrounds the central role of language in digital life,
offering a key venue for advancing research in computational
linguistics, discourse analysis, and large-scale text mining across
social media and web data. Its interdisciplinary scope highlights how
linguistic signals shape and reflect social behavior in online
environments. By bringing together NLP, social science, and digital
humanities, the conference provides a critical platform for exploring
how language both structures and is transformed by networked
communication systems.
More details on dates and venue will be shared soon: stay tuned on our
Bluesky and X profiles.
Submissions work as follows:
First deadline, May 15, 2026: accept (→ ICWSM '27), Revise and
Resubmit → Sept '26
Second deadline, Sept 15, 2026: accept (→ ICWSM '27), Revise and
Resubmit → Jan '27
Third deadline, Jan 15, 2027: accept (→ ICWSM '27), Revise and
Resubmit → May '27 (→ ICWSM '28)
ICWSM is a forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to come
together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and
learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common
theme of investigating the interplay of web and society. This overall
theme includes research on new perspectives in social theories, as
well as computational algorithms for analyzing digital traces of human
activities or behaviors in social settings. ICWSM is a singularly
fitting venue for research that blends social science and
computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions
about human social behavior through online traces while advancing
computational tools for vast and unstructured data.
Previous years of ICWSM have featured papers, posters, and demos that
draw upon a wide spectrum of disciplines from computational sciences
(e.g., network science, artificial intelligence, machine learning,
text/data mining, natural language processing, image/multimedia
processing, human computer interaction) to social sciences (e.g.,
sociology, communication, political science, anthropology, psychology,
economics, digital humanities). We invite original work that utilizes
diverse digitally mediated data sources such as web navigation traces,
traces from apps, social media traces, data from online platforms such
as microblogs (e.g., X/ formerly Twitter), wiki-based knowledge
sharing sites (e.g., Wikipedia), online news media (e.g., Huffington
Post), forums, mailing lists, newsgroups, community media sites (e.g.,
YouTube, Instagram), Q&A sites (e.g., Quora, Stack Overflow), user
review sites (e.g., Yelp, Amazon.com), search platforms and social
curation sites (e.g., Reddit, Pinterest). Adapting to our continuously
evolving field, we are open to new forms of technologically mediated
human or society-related data sources (e.g., mobility traces,
satellite data) and methods that advance our understanding of society
and the influence of the web on it.
