[Section Editor] Data in Brief Journal

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Section Editor in Civil Engineering for the Data in Brief journal at Elsevier!

Data in Brief is a multidisciplinary, open-access, peer-reviewed journal that mainly publishes short, digestible data articles that describe and provide access to research data. In addition, it publishes review and perspective articles that elaborate on data-sharing practices and letters to editors that comment on datasets previously published in Data in Brief. Data in Brief contributes to open science and improves reproducibility by making data and the associated research more discoverable, opening doors for collaboration, and reducing duplication of effort.

Data in Brief supports the FAIR Data Principles, which state that research data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Therefore, the mission of Data in Brief is to make research data accessible, discoverable, citable, comprehensible, reviewed, reproducible, and reusable.

The journal welcomes submissions from all subject areas. Submissions regarding data from preliminary research, replication studies, proof of concept research, and negative results are also welcome.

To merit publication in Data in Brief, data should be collected using a scientific method and have value to the research community. The journal promotes the idea of reproducibility and is usually limited to quantitative data.
