[Sigsti-l] Call for Papers: CODATA Data Science Journal

[Robert R Downs]

Dear Colleagues,

Please find the call for papers from the CODATA Data Science Journal, 
below, and excuse any duplication of this message.

*Call for Papers – Data Science Journal*

The /Data Science Journal/ is a peer-reviewed, open access, electronic 
journal dedicated to the advancement of data science and its application 
in policies, practices and management of Open Data.

We are currently soliciting submissions for papers on a wide range of 
data science topics, across the whole range of computational, natural 
and social science, and the humanities. The scope of the journal 
includes descriptions of data systems, their implementations and their 
publication, applications, infrastructures, software, legal, 
reproducibility and transparency issues, the availability and usability 
of complex datasets, and with a particular focus on the principles, 
policies and practices for data.

All data is in scope, whether born digital or converted from other 
sources, and all research disciplines are covered. Data is a 
cross-domain, cross-discipline topic, with common issues, regardless of 
the domain it serves. The /Data Science Journal/ publishes a variety of 
article types (research papers, practice papers, review articles and 
essays). The /Data Science Journal/ also publishes data articles, 
describing datasets or data compilations, if the potential for reuse of 
the data is significant or if considerable efforts were required in 
compilation. Similarly, the /Data Science Journal/ also publishes 
descriptions of online simulation, database, and other experiments, 
partnering with digital repositories on ‘meta articles’ or ‘overlay 
articles’, which link to and allow visualisation of the data, thereby 
adding an entirely new dimension to the communication and exchange of 
data research results and educational materials.

Thanks,

Bob Downs
