Upstream, Downstream: embedding digital curation in workflows for data science, scholarship and society
Submissions are now open for the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC), which will take place in Edinburgh from 20-23 February 2017. IDCC, now in its 12th year, brings together digital curation professionals and educators with data producers
and consumers to consider digital curation in a multi-disciplinary context.
The theme for this year's conference is embedding digital curation. Definitions of digital curation have changed little, but its scope is becoming ever more pervasive. Data science and open science are gaining prominence. Public infrastructures for data
storage, sharing and publishing are gaining capability, while the research publishing sector rapidly evolves. For policy makers, the question of how to ensure research data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) is tied to the question of
how to ensure flexible and resilient infrastructures are openly available to support communities in that endeavour.
We invite submissions addressing these questions, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Policy harmonisation and monitoring for a joined-up data world
- Capacity development for open science skills and readiness
- Reproducibility and provenance across research workflows
- Sensitivity, ethical data management
- Reusability of digital collections
- Discoverability and data publishing
Submissions can take a number of forms, including research papers, practice papers, posters and workshops. Papers are considered for fee-free open-access publication in the International Journal of Digital Curation.
We look forward to welcoming you in Edinburgh!
