The Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB) is planning a special issue featuring RDAP content! If you’re sharing your work at RDAP--whether in a talk, a poster, or a presentation--consider submitting and sharing your work more broadly.

The 2021 Special Issue will focus on RDAP’s theme of Radical Change and Data and how data intersects with major forces for societal change, including public health, the environment, and movements for racial equality. In order to promote diversity and inclusion, we encourage submissions from presenters who focus on DEI related topics or are from an underrepresented identity. Authors can submit in a range of formats, from full-length papers to commentaries to video articles. All full-length and e-Science in Action papers are subject to double-blind peer review, while other article types will be read and reviewed by the guest editors and editor-in-chief.

Manuscript submissions will be due May 31 for publication in the November 2021 special issue. Mentorship is available to support submissions. Please reach out to the guest editors (cjbakker@umn.edu) if you would like to be paired with a mentor.
