Datenbank-Spektrum - Call-for-Papers: Data Management for Research Data Infrastructures
Research data plays a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge and driving innovation across various fields. Effective data management approaches are essential for ensuring the integrity, accessibility, and usability of research data. The FAIR data principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) are generally accepted as a goal in this context, but their comprehensive implementation remains a challenge. Hence, innovative data management solutions for Research Data Infrastructures (RDIs) are needed to unlock the full potential of research data and enable collaboration, reproducibility, and knowledge exchange.
In Germany, the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) started in 2020 and comprises 26 consortia addressing a broad variety of disciplines. Currently, research data infrastructure projects inside and outside the NFDI develop data management solutions. In this special issue of Datenbank-Spektrum, we will provide a forum for exploring and presenting current trends and solutions in the field of data management for research data infrastructures.
We welcome original contributions, including technical papers, application-oriented papers, case studies, survey papers, and position papers addressing for example the following challenges in data management for research data infrastructures:
• Data Volume and Variety
• Data Integration and Interoperability
• Data Quality and Integrity
• Data Security and Privacy
• Long-Term Preservation
• Ethical and Legal Considerations
• Data Discoverability and Access
Paper format: 8–10 pages, double-column (cf. author guidelines at http://www.www.springer.com/13222). We welcome contributions in both, German, and English.
Articles will undergo all of the journal's standard peer review and editorial processes outlined in its submission guidelines (this opens in a new tab).
Deadline for submissions: February 1st, 2024
Publication of special issue: DASP-2-2024 (July 2024)
