Cambridge University Press has announced a new open access journal that will explore the transformative effect of data science on engineering.
Launched this week with support from global charity Lloyd's Register Foundation, Data-Centric Engineering will look at how the revolution in sensing, measurement, and data capture is driving the discovery of new materials, and new methods of manufacture, operation, control and construction.
It will be the first cross-disciplinary journal to focus on research at the intersection of data sciences such as applied maths, statistical and computing science, with all areas of engineering. Alongside cutting-edge research, position papers will also be published exploring related ethical, legal, security and policy issues.
Mark Girolami from the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering will serve as the Editor-in Chief of Data-Centric Engineering. The journal was officially launched at the International Congress for Industry and Applied Maths (ICIAM) in Valencia, with the first issue due for publication in 2020. It will be free to read on Cambridge Core, the online repository of books and journals published by the Press.
Global charity, the Lloyd's Register Foundation, has pledged support for the new journal, providing funding that will enable unfunded researchers to publish their research on an open access basis.
The Foundation has been at the forefront of advocating and funding the use of data-intensive technology in engineering, as part of its mission to secure high technical standards of design that enhance the safety of life and property.
