Aims and scope
Discover Data is a broad, open access journal publishing research into the theory and application of data science and data analytics across all fields of research. The journal welcomes submission of papers detailing the application of existing data science-driven techniques to novel problems in science, industry and society, as much as primary research into data theory, management and analysis.
The journal also welcomes the submission of data notes describing novel, open datasets and the methodologies used in the acquisition and processing of these. These datasets should have scientific value to the research community, and must be available for reuse as per the FAIR criteria.
The journal aims to serve a wide range of communities from computer and information scientists and statisticians as well as researchers engaged with data-driven approaches to all areas of science, including the natural sciences, clinical and medical research and social science disciplines. The journal particularly welcomes research that contributes to achieving the global aims of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
