Data Science and Applications is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that addresses the development that data has become a crucial factor for a variety of scientific fields. This journal covers aspects around scientific data over the whole range from data creation, mining, discovery, curation, modeling, processing, and management to analysis, prediction, visualization, user interaction, communication, sharing, and re-use. We are interested in general methods and concepts, as well as specific tools, infrastructures, and applications.

The ultimate goal is to unleash the power of scientific data to deepen our understanding of physical, biological, and digital systems, gain insight into human social and economic behavior, and design new solutions for daily life and the future.

The importance of scientific data, from text, audio, visual content such as sensor and weblog data is rising. New methods to extract, transport, pool, refine, store, analyze, and visualize data are needed to unleash their power while simultaneously making tools and workflows easier to use by the public at large.

The journal invites contributions ranging from theoretical and foundational research, platforms, methods, applications, and tools in all areas. We welcome papers which add a social, geographical, and temporal dimension to Data Science research, as well as application-oriented papers that prepare and use data in discovery research.

This journal focuses on methods, infrastructure, and applications around the following core topics:

  • - scientific data mining, machine learning, and Big Data analytics
  • - scientific data management, network analysis, and knowledge discovery
  • - scholarly communication and (semantic) publishing
  • - research data publication, indexing, quality, and discovery
  • - data wrangling, integration, and provenance of scientific data
  • - trend analysis, prediction, and visualization of research topics
  • - scalable computing, analysis, and learning for Data Science
  • - scientific web services and executable workflows
  • - scientific analytics, intelligence, and real time decision making
  • - socio-technical systems
  • - social impacts of Data Science

An important goal of the journal is to promote an environment to produce and share annotated data to the wider research community. The development and use of data and metadata standards are critical for achieving this goal. Authors should ensure that any data used or produced in the study is represented with community-based data formats and metadata standards. The journal will be published in English and has effective reviewing process: we intend to provide a response in one to three months after receiving the manuscript. The journal follows an open access publishing model.

Peer Review Process

 The research journal Data Science and Applications peer review all the material submitted using OJS. Some the submissions are rejected without being sent out for external per review on the grounds of priority, insufficient originality and scientific flaws. A decision on such papers is taken quickly, usually within 4-8 weeks.

The remaining manuscripts should be evaluated by two reviewers and by the anonymous expert member of the Editorial board, usually within 4-8 months. Authors are welcome to suggest suitable independent reviewers.

Once the paper was reviewed and the comments from reviewers were received final decision concerning the publishing is made by the Editorial board usually within 4-8 weeks.

Authors must to revise the article in accordance with remarks or to give reasonable explanation of ignoring some remark. Article must be revised during the 4 weeks counting from the day the article has been returned to the author. After the review, revised articles are to be submitted to the Editorial Board through OJS along with detailed response in written for the reviewers concerning the performed corrections. Corrections must be provided in other text color.

The Editorial board is the competent authority in taking decision(s) on selection or rejection of the manuscripts of all the research/review/similar articles submitted to the Journal. The decision taken by Editorial board is final in all respects and no further comments/communications from authors in this regard is expected.

It may be noted that, the aforesaid policy may change with or without notice to the authors/ contributors of this journal. The decision of Journal in respect of management of a manuscript in every step is taken as final.
