15th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries 
Digital Libraries: on supporting Open Science 

Pisa, January 31-February 1, 2019 

Web site: https://ircdl2019.isti.cnr.it

(sponsored by the OpenAIRE-Advance project - EC-H2020 grant 777541)

###### Important Dates  ###### 
Submission Deadline: September 14, 2018 
Acceptance Notification: October 7, 2018 

###### Call for Papers ###### 

Science is increasingly and rapidly becoming digital: research is
commonly performed using research infrastructure services and tools
available online or on desktop computers; digital products of science
are encompassing also datasets, software, and experiments, thereby
enabling the Open Science principles of "reproducibility" and
"transparent assessment". Accordingly, to keep  their central role in
scientific collaboration, Digital libraries must face new theoretical
and technical challenges. With this vision in mind, IRCDL invites
representatives from academia, government, industry, research
communities, research infrastructures, to submit their ideas from a
broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer
science, information science, social sciences and cultural heritage. 

Topics include (but are not limited to): research impact; citation,
provenance and curation of scientific datasets; metadata definition,
management, and curation; interlinking of research products;
educational practices; long-term preservation of research products;
multi-media challenges; novel Scientific Document Models; publishing
workflows; novel peer review practices; open Science models; quality
and evaluation of digital libraries; scholarly Communication services;
user interfaces; and Web solutions.

###### Types of submissions ###### 

*Full research papers* describing original ideas on the listed topics
and on other fundamental aspects of digital libraries and technology.
Works should not exceed 12-15 pages in the LNCS template.

*Short research papers* on early research results, new results on
previous published works, demos, and projects are also welcome. Works
should not exceed 6-9 pages in the LNCS template.

This year the conference welcomes also Data papers and Software papers,
which can be both “full” and “short” as described above:

*Data papers* presenting motivations, methodology, and value behind the
creation of datasets; e.g. annotated corpora, benchmark collections,
training sets. 

*Software papers* presenting software functionality, application, and
value for the community and encourage its re-use to a non-specialist
reader.  

Articles will go through a single-blind review process. For the article
to be included in the proceedings, at least one author of accepted
papers is required to attend the conference.

###### * Springer Proceedings CCIS * ######

Conference proceedings will be published as a volume of *Communications
in Computer and Information Science (CCIS), Springer Verlag*. IRCDL
2019 papers will be indexed by Scopus, Web of Science and DBLP.

###### * Keynote Speaker and Open Science panels * ######

The conference will feature Susan Davidson (University of Pennsylvenia)
as keynote speaker and will host two panels on Open Science and Future
of Digital Libraries. See web site for more information.
