SCOPE

The International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Elpub) enters
its 18th year. Elpub 2014 will continue the tradition, bringing together
researchers, lecturers, librarians, developers, entrepreneurs, users and
all other stakeholders interested in issues regarding electronic
publishing in widely differing contexts. These include the human,
cultural, economic, social, technological, legal, commercial and other
relevant aspects that such an exciting theme encompasses.

Elpub 2014
will particularly focus on the openness and use of research data as well
as new and innovative publishing paradigms. We welcome presentations and
discussions that demonstrate the role of cultural heritage and service
organisations in the creation, accessibility, curation and long term
preservation of data. We aim to provide a forum for discussing
appraisal, citation and licensing of research data. Also, what is new
with reviewing, publishing and editorial technology in a data-centric
setting?

We invite contributions from members of the communities whose
research and experiments are transforming the nature of electronic
publishing and scholarly communication. Topics include but are not
