Open-access scholarly publisher Frontiers has announced the launch of Frontiers in Big Data, a new open-access journal to lead the big data revolution. The peer-reviewed journal includes sections on machine learning, data privacy, data mining, artificial intelligence, and data-driven climate science, medicine and public health.
Big data is at the heart of the 4th industrial revolution. Frontiers in Big Data provides a centralised pool of cutting-edge knowledge in machine learning, cybersecurity, data mining and other data-related disciplines. By making the latest research immediately and freely available through an online platform, the journal empowers researchers, citizens and companies to rapidly and efficiently share and combine knowledge - and so drive the big data revolution.
Headed by leading experts, Frontiers in Big Data currently includes six sections - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, led by Kristian Kersting, Technical University of Dortmund, Germany; Cybersecurity and Privacy, led by Elena Ferrari, University of Insubria, Italy, and Murat Kantarcioglu, University of Texas at Dallas, US; Data Mining and Management, led by Huan Liu, Arizona State University, US; Big Data Networks, led by Nick Duffield, Texas A&M University, US; Data-Driven Climate Sciences, led by John Kimball, University of Montana, US; and Medicine and Public Health, led by Thomas Hartung, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, US.
Two of these sections, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and Medicine and Public Health, will link to the soon-to-be launched Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence journal, which will focus on core AI fields and their various applications.
Leveraging the collective intelligence of diverse research communities is critical for fast scientific progress and technological innovation. High-quality Open Access research enables this, by making ground-breaking discoveries and data sets available to academics, policy-makers, industry and the public all around the world. Frontiers' community-rooted Open Science platform takes this further by fostering crucial cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The big data solutions published in Frontiers in Big Data are freely and universally available to anyone with an internet connection. Together with Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and a third upcoming journal, Frontiers in Blockchain, this pioneering Open Access journal will help drive the rapid development of novel computational techniques, new code and new data applications - which in turn are transforming not just our approach to research, but the technologies we use and societies in which we live.
