(Table version: Dec. 2022)
This table presents a selection of prominent scholarly journals that publish data papers. These are academic publications no different than other types of papers, apart from the focus on data or code as academic output. The table includes pure data journals (focused on exposing datasets) and mixed journals (not only data papers), useful for the dissemination of data and code for the different scientific fields at EPFL.
We assume no responsibility nor liability for incorrect information. Please contact researchdata@epfl.ch to contribute with corrections or questions on the table.
The title and URL of the journal, with the indication of the editor and geographic location in parentheses.
This indicates the minimum Open Access type accepted by the journal. This can be:
- Diamond: full open access with no Article Processing Charges (APC)
- Full gold: full open access upon payment of APC
- Hybrid: open access with APC or closed access with no APC
When a data or code availability policy is available, its URL is provided.
Dataset focus. This can be:
- Data
- Code
- Both
An asterisk (*) indicates mixed journals: no specific focus on data papers, but the journal is used and renown for publishing also data papers.
Sources: doaj.org when available, or loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco, or the journal itself
Article Processing Charges (APC): these are the fees applied to the authors for submission. Source: doaj.org when available, or the journal itself.
An asterisk (*) indicates that a waiver policy exists. Refers to the journal website for more information.
Indication if the APCs are partially (P) or fully (F) supported by EPFL Library.
If (P), the percentage value indicates the charges’ fraction supported by the Library.
If (R&P), i.e. Read & Publish, it means that EPFL Library has negotiated a transformative agreement with the publisher(s).
