Dear colleagues, After lurking on this list a while, it seems to me that members may be interested in the journal Big Data, recently launched, of which I am editor-in-chief. The entirety of the first issue has been made freely available online at http://online.liebertpub.com/toc/big/1/1 Peer reviewed papers will be published open access, under CC BY license, with no author fees. (Many thanks danah boyd for her assistance and advocacy in ensuring this). The journal aims to be integrative over the contributing fields to big data, including data science, software, visualization, policy—and accessible to both practitioners and researchers in the field, from industry, academia and government. As such it aims for a modern feel, and is pursuing an innovative business model in order to facilitate the OA publishing. I welcome feedback and contribution from members of this list. Submission details are available here: http://www.liebertpub.com/manuscript/big-data/611/ Editorial board: http://www.liebertpub.com/editorialboard/big-data/611/ regards -- Edd Dumbill -- Editor in Chief, Big Data +1 (415) 692 1767 • http://about.me/edd
