Launch open access journal on research data

October 20th DANS and publishing house Brill launch a new, peer-reviewed, open access and online-only journal data: Research Data Journal for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Research Data Journal is a digital-only open access journal, which documents deposited data sets through the publication of data papers.

Data papers are scholarly publications of medium length containing a non-technical description of a data set and putting the data in a research context. Each paper gets a persistent identifier providing publication credits to the author.

Most welcome

The new journal will be launched during a DANS Colloquium on Research and Data on the 20th of October. You are cordially invited to attend this meeting. For more information and the online registration form on the web use the DANS website.
