[CODATA-international] Call For Papers: Special Collection on Research Data Alliance Results

[Asha CODATA]

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international member based
organization focused on the development of infrastructure and community
activities that reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange, and the
acceleration of data driven innovation worldwide. With more than 6,900
members globally representing 137 countries, RDA includes researchers,
scientists and data science professionals working in multiple disciplines,
domains and thematic fields and from different types of organisations
across the globe.

This special collection aims to collect and give visibility to research
results and outcomes stemming from RDA activities.

In particular, it solicits high quality papers describing the latest
results of RDA working groups (WGs) or interest groups (IGs) that have
recently produced an output, including recommendation and associated use
cases that could highlight the added value of RDA work in the data related
fields.

The scope of the special collection is to become a point of reference for
experts from the international community that are committed to directly or
indirectly enabling data sharing, exchange, or interoperability. The aim is
to promote the work carried out in IGs and WGs and bring the results
obtained to the global data expert community. Specific tools, code, best
practices, standards, surveys, recommendations, reports, and WG case
statements will be brought to a larger audience via the peer-reviewed, open
access Data Science Journal.
