Dear Marta, Rosie, and Kevin,
Many thanks for your advice. Actually, in my haste to post the message I neglected to write 'and indexed' alongside peer-reviewed. While I have published in the CODATA and DCC journals, I am reluctant to submit further manuscripts until such time as the journals are indexed. From a cursory check of the list at http://osc.cam.ac.uk/about-scholarly-communication/publishing-options-research-scholarly-communication I am also not sure that any of the other journals are indexed . If so, it would perhaps be in the interests of the digital curation community to address this shortcoming.
Rgds, Tim

I would echo Rosie Higman's recommendation of the Data Science Journal
or the International Journal of Digital Curation as appropriate journals.
(Disclosure of interest: I'm in the editor-in-chief of IJDC.)
But much depends on what you want to achieve with the article. If you're
looking for a journal where your article will sit alongside others on
similar topics and hence where the editors and reviewers are also used
to work of this type, then those journals fit the bill well and both are
fully open access. If you wish to reach an audience that doesn't usually
see much about the topic, then you should look elsewhere.
