Possible topics for submission
* Survey papers summarizing empirical research and comparing the methods used.
* Critical reflections on research methods used in information security research.
* Discussions, possible guidelines on access to data sets.
* Comparisons between research methods in information security and other subdisciplines of computer science
* Comparisons between research methods in information security and other disciplines (e.g. economics, physics, social sciences)
* Guidelines on how research should be performed, evaluated and reviewed, addressing target audiences such as (junior) researchers, grant reviewers, tenure review committee, hiring committees, etc.
