Continuous submission open at https://datascience.codata.org/about/submissions/
The Data Science Journal special collection aims to gather and promote research results and outcomes stemming from the Research Data Alliance activities. In particular, it collects high quality papers describing the latest results of RDA working groups (WGs) or interest groups (IGs) focusing particularly on use cases that highlight the added value of the RDA solutions for different challenges related to research data sharing and management.
The submitted manuscripts might present, without being limited to, the following themes:
-
The results (RDA Recommendations, Supporting Outputs or Other Outputs) produced by an Interest or Working Group;
-
The description of an Adoption Case outlining how a specific recommendation or output has been implemented in a given use case;
-
Other types of work related to RDA activities.
The scope of the special collection
The scope of this special collection is to ultimately become a point of reference for experts from the international community that are committed to enabling data sharing, exchange, and interoperability by showcasing the various RDA results and how these have been implemented across disciplines, organisations and geographies.
Specific tools, code, best practices, standards, surveys, recommendations, reports, and other results will be brought to a larger audience via the peer-reviewed, open access Data Science Journal.
This continuous Call for Papers is open to all interested applicants regardless of their geographical provenance.
