Data

Aims & Scope

Data (ISSN 2306-5729) is a unique international, scientific open access journal on ʻdata in scienceʼ.

It provides a forum for data scientists as well as for scientists working with data.

The journal publishes two sections: Methods: the Methods section publishes research articles, review papers and technical notes on methods for collecting, processing (treating), managing, storing and analyzing scientific and scholarly data.

Related source code, if available, can be deposited as supplementary material.

Data Descriptors: the Data Descriptors section publishes descriptions of scientific and scholarly datasets (one dataset per paper).

Described datasets need to be publicly deposited prior to publication, preferably under an open license, thus allowing others to re-use the dataset.

Small datasets might also be published as supplementary material to the dataset paper in the journal Data.

The link to the publicly hosted version of the dataset must be given in the paper.

Data descriptors therefore provide easy citability, traceability and accountability of datasets used in scientific research
