2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
******************************************************************
First International Workshop on Reproducible Open Science (RepScience 2016)

****   Co-sponsored by Research Data Alliance Europe and OpenAIRE2020  ****

Hannover, Germany, September 9th, 2016
Web site: http://repscience2016.research-infrastructures.eu
E-mail: repscience2016 at isti.cnr.it

In conjunction with the International Conference on Theory and
Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2016)

Proceedings published as Special Issue of the D-Lib Magazine Journal
(http://www.dlib.org)
*******************************************************************

###### Workshop Objectives ######

This Workshop aims at becoming a forum to discuss ideas and
advancements towards the revision of current scientific communication
practices in order to support Open Science, introduce novel evaluation
schemes, and enable reproducibility. As such it candidates as an event
fostering collaboration between (i) Library and information scientists
working on the identification of new publication paradigms; (ii) ICT
scientists involved in the definition of new technical solutions to
these issues; (iii) scientists/researchers who actually conduct the
research and demand tools and practices for Open Science. The expected
results are advancements in the definition of the next generation
scientific communication ecosystem, where scientists can publish
research results (including the scientific article, the data, the
methods, and any “alternative” product that may be relevant to the
conducted research) in order to enable reproducibility (effective
reuse and decrease of cost of science) and rely on novel scientific
reward practices.

###### Invited speakers ######

Carole Goble, Professor at University of Manchester (UK)
Sunje Dallmeier-Tiessen, CERN (CH)

###### Workshop topics ######

The topics of this workshop are of interest to, but not limited to,
the following research avenues:
* Classification (models and ontologies), description (e.g. metadata),
identity management of products of science different from the
traditional article;
* Representing, exchanging, sharing, assessing (peer-reviewing),
depositing, preserving products different from the traditional article
* Publishing workflows for products different from the traditional
article, e.g. submission, review, scientific reward (e.g. software
publishing, research data publishing)
* Interlinking and contextualization of products: mining techniques,
LOD, data models, relationships (citation, versioning) between
research results, etc.
* Findability of products of science: indexing, searching, browsing challenges;
* Controlled access to products of science (e.g. anonymization,
role-driven views)
* “Packaging research results”: identification, representation,
description (metadata), deposition, preservation, evaluation, and
interoperability of “research results packages” (e.g. Research
Objects, Elsevier’s “article of the future”, executable papers, RMap)
* Systems, tools, paradigms, publishing workflows towards favouring
repetition, replication, reproduction, or re-use of science.

###### Paper Submission ######

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers.
Submitted manuscripts will have to be in the range of 4000-5000 words
and edited with OpenOffice Writer or Microsoft Word, following the
"Matters of style" section in the author guidelines for D-Lib
Magazine.

Papers submitted to the workshop will undergo a single-blind
peer-review process by Program Committee members. Accepted papers will
be published as a special issue of the D-Lib Magazine journal, in the
first Quarter of 2017. To be published on the proceedings, accepted
contributions should be revised according to the reviews and consider
the feedback from the workshop. Moreover, at least one author is
required to register and present the paper at the workshop.

###### Submission System ######

Research papers must be submitted via the workshop submission system,
available at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=repscience2016

###### Important dates ######

Research paper submission: July 4th, 2016 - 23:59 CET
Notification of acceptance: August 1st, 2016
Revised paper re-submission: after workshop date, to be agreed with
D-Lib Magazine
Workshop day: September 9th, 2016
