Dear all,
The RDA Europe 4.0 has been granted an extension by the European Commission, and will be contributing to promoting the RDA work on a global level till the end of September 2020. The project supports the publication of a maximum of 30 articles in the CODATA Data Science Journal Special collection on RDA. Funds are still available to cover the Article Processing Charges (APC) and therefore the call for papers has been extended until the 17th of July. This Call for Papers is open to all interested applicants regardless of their geographical provenance.
What are we looking for in the Data Science Journal special collection?
The CODATA 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.
