Hi Jane. I realize that the deadline for this
special issue has now passed, but I am wondering
if this journal would normally consider manuscripts
on this same topic (Metadata for Scientific Data)?
I have been working on a paper, but it is not
anywhere close to being ready for this week's
special issue deadline. However, looking ahead,
I am wondering if the Journal of Library Metadata
will be an appropriate journal for a manuscript
on scientific metadata?
Thanks.
