<h1>Call for Papers: IFLA Journal special issue on Research Data Services<u></u><u></u></h1>
<p><em>Submission Deadline</em>: <strong>16 May 2016</strong> <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p>Libraries and archives around the world are applying the principles of library and archival sciences to address challenges and provide new services related to research data management. Librarians are helping researchers address needs throughout
the research data lifecycle, for example, by conducting assessment and outreach, consulting on data management plans and metadata, incorporating data into information literacy instruction and collection management, and providing data publication and preservation
services. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ifla.org/publications/ifla-journal" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">IFLA Journal</span></a> invites papers for a special issue focused on research data services and libraries across all continents. The issue will be
published in October 2016 as Volume 42:3. In particular, the main goal of the special issue is to gather the latest theory, research, and state-of-the-art practices from libraries that are informing and innovating effective data services.
