Submission process

This year DaMaLOS welcomes submissions in the form of long (up to 12 pages) and short (up to 6 pages) research papers, research objects (up to 3 pages), position papers (up to 6 pages), demos (up to 3 pages), posters (up to 3 pages). References are not counted within the page limit. Please use numbered citations in sequential order, e.g., APA style, and whenever possible add a (DOI) link.

Accepted papers will go to the proceedings of the workshop and will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license at PUBLISSO FRL indexed by LIVIVO and DBLP. PUBLISSO mints DOIs and provides a fast publication process that will allow us to have the proceedings ready right after the conference, including slides. Accepted workshop papers aligned with Life Sciences or domain-agnostic will be later invited to submit an extended and improved version to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS).

Types of submissions

  • Full research papers (up to 12 pages): Presenting novel scientific research
  • Short research papers (up to 6 pages): Presenting research results at early stages
  • Position papers (up to 6 pages): Introducing positions, ideas, opinions and discussions around a topic
  • Research objects (up to 3 pages): Describing datasets, software, workflows, training materials together with their metadata
  • Demos (up to 3 pages): Presenting tools (software, workflows and so) from a practical perspective
  • Posters (up to 3 pages): Presenting works in a graphical display

Guidelines

All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference/workshop. All submissions must be in English. Proceedings of the workshop will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license; by submitting you agree to the use of this license for accepted papers. Papers should be formatted according to LNCS templates.

Submission system

All workshop submissions should be done via DaMaLOS-2025 submission system

Topics

DaMaLOS targets the following (and similar) topics:

  • Research management
    • Importance, automatization and connections across Research Data and Software (and other digital objects) Management for Linked Open Science (LOS, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data principles)
    • Special features/metadata required in research management plans for LOS
    • Extensions to current RDM plans to better support LOS
  • FAIRness and FAIRification
    • Integration/alignment between FAIR and research management plans
    • FAIRification processes, either by design or post-research-object creation
    • FAIR tooling, e.g., evaluators, extensions, governance
    • RO-Crates, Signposting and FDOs
  • Open Science and Scientometrics
    • Benefits of LOS over Open Science
    • How research plans and LOS can be used to improve collection and storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
    • Integration of software, data, and other research outcomes into science-related metrics
