== Non-archival ==

Non-archival means that submissions to a conference are not "published". In other words, you are free to submit the same or nearly the same research to another venue. Some folks look down on presenting research at multiple conferences but others think it's great to get feedback from different audiences.

In general, it's easier to get accepted to a non-archival conference. In addition, they basically never have an R+R requirement—they will pass on reviewer feedback, but you aren't required to do anything with it.

=== ICA (International Communication Association) ===

ICA is one of the two big communication conferences, and is probably the best conference for computational communication work. ICA is organized in divisions, which act semi-autonomously, and you submit papers to a division rather than to the conference. The divisions most aligned with CDSC research are probably Computational Methods, Information Systems, Communication and Technology (CAT), and Organizational Communication.


Deadline: Early November

Conference: Late May

=== NCA (National Communication Association) ===

NCA is the other big communication conference. It's in the US, in November. Like ICA, it's composed of divisions, with their own calls for papers. CDSC members have not been as active at NCA, but some divisions that overlap are Communication and the Future, Group Communication, Human Communication and Technology, and Organizational Communication.

Deadline: March

Conference: November

=== IC2S2 (International Conference of Computational Social Science) ===

IC2S2 is a multidisciplinary computational social science conference. They only require 2 page abstracts, which is nice. It's been growing quickly but has historically been a smallish conference.

Deadline: February

Conference: July
