STM publisher Springer will publish the new open access journal Data Science and Engineering (DSE) in collaboration with the China Computer Federation (CCF), starting in 2015. CCF is responsible for editorial content, the editorial board and academic development of the journal. Data Science and Engineering is financially sponsored by Nanjing Sinovatio Technology Co. Ltd. The journal is part of Springer's open access portfolio SpringerOpen.
Springer has established a strategic framework for collaboration with the CCF over the past three years. The cooperation started with the publication of proceedings for the annual conferences of the technical committees of the CCF, and has extended to books and book series. Fourteen titles have been published so far. Collaborating on the new journal Data Science and Engineering marks the development of a more systematic and long-term cooperation between the CCF and Springer.
Data Science and Engineering aims to offer a forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to disseminate original research in the rapidly growing fields of data science and data engineering. The journal is dedicated to presenting high-quality papers that address the principles of data analysis and processing, data-intensive computing, and the techniques and systems used to analyse and manage big data and launch big-data products.
Data Science and Engineering is the first international academic journal in the field of computer science initiated and administered by a Chinese research society. The technical committee on databases at the CCF will help to shape its development strategy, solicit submissions and review articles, and promote the journal within the scientific community.
