Alexandria: The Journal of National and International Library and
Information
Issues invites submissions for a themed issue on Digital Curation and
Research Data Management.

The concepts, processes and practice comprising digital curation are, in
2015,
prominent in many journals, but clarification on best practice is still
desirable. Libraries and other collection institutions are aware of the
need to manage their digital
resources: from creation, indexing, storage, preservation and dissemination
of data, to understanding tools for analysis and the subsequent addition of
value, the establishment of workflow policies, promotional outreach and
fundraising. The phrase digital curation is perhaps primarily understood
within the cultural context, but it also encompasses management of research
data. This special issue will include papers focusing on a broad spectrum
of engagement related to the management of our complete digital heritage,
and our current digital research output. Emphasis should be placed on these
issues in the context of national libraries and other national collection
institutions.

Manuscripts should be sent, by 31 December 2015, to Dr Lyn Robinson
[lyn at soi.city.ac.uk], who will be happy to advise on suitability of topics.
Papers will be reviewed, and the final selection will be published in our
themed issue in June 2016.

Full articles should normally be between 4,000 and 8,000 words long. Short
communications should not exceed 3,000 words.
Author guidelines are available at:
