VIVO 2020 Call for Proposals is now open!

Present your work and ideas at VIVO 2020

Do you help make scholarly data open, found, and consumed? Do you have fresh
ideas or new work you want to share with us? We'd love to hear from you! The
VIVO conference covers a broad range of topics surrounding research
information systems. VIVO 2020 will be an online, virtual conference, which
leads to some new formats. We encourage submissions from people who are new
to the VIVO community, and formats that work well online.

Possible formats

We are planning two session lengths:

*	presentations (20 minutes)
*	lightning talks (6 minutes)

Your presentation or lightning talk may take the form of a demonstration
(screen share in Zoom), a panel discussion, an interview, a virtual poster
(single slide), a brainstorming session, an interactive survey session, or
other.

1.	Before May 15, 2020:

Archiving and DOI

The VIVO conference requires that your work be publically available from a
repository of your choice. Your repository must assign your work a DOI and
must make your work open and freely available to all. We recommend your work
