Journal of Data and Information Science (JDIS, formerly Chinese Journal of Library and Information Science), sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and published quarterly by the National Science Library of CAS, is the first internationally published English-language academic journal in Library and Information Science and related fields from China.
The Journal of Data and Information Science (JDIS) focuses on data-based research oriented toward the exploration of scientific research and innovation. The main areas of interest are science of science, evidence-based policymaking, research evaluation, computational social science, and scientometrics/bibliometrics/altmetrics/ informetrics. Emphasis is given to research that focuses on data, analytics, and knowledge discovery, and supports decision making and science policy. This includes modeling, innovation, data security, media and communications, and social development. Topics may include studies of metadata or full content data, text or non-textural data, structured or non-structural data, domain-specific or cross-domain data, and dynamic or interactive data.
Specific topic areas may include (but are not limited to):
- Knowledge organization
- Knowledge discovery and data mining
- Knowledge integration and fusion
- Semantic Web
- Science of science
- Bibliometrics and scientometrics
- Analytic and diagnostic informetrics
- Competitive intelligence
- Predictive analysis
- Social network analysis and metrics
- Semantic and interactively analytic retrieval
- Evidence-based policy analysis
- Intelligent knowledge production
- Knowledge-driven workflow management and decision-making
- Knowledge-driven collaboration and its management
- Domain knowledge infrastructure with knowledge fusion and analytics
- Training for data & information scientists
- Development of data and information services
JDIS publishes theoretical and empirical work. Systematic reviews are welcome and applied research in development of advanced methods, services, and best practices is also an important part. But simple application of established informetrics on a specific research field or country is out of the scope.
Welcome to submit your papers to JDIS.
Why subscribe and read
JDIS is the first and only English journal from China in Library and Information Science and related fields. With an aim to disseminate the cutting-edge research in these fields, it is devoted to the study and application of the theories, methods, techniques, services, and infrastructural facilities using big data to support knowledge discovery for decision and policy making. The basic emphasis is big data-based, analytics centered, knowledge discovery driven, and decision making supporting. JDIS has gathered a big body of high profile experts across the world who contribute their research to the journal. The international authors account for around 62% in its first publication year (2016).

Peer Review Process
JDIS applies a single-blind peer review process. All submissions will be evaluated first by an Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor-in-Chief who checks suitability for JDIS. Then, research and review articles considered in scope and of sufficient quality will be sent to two or three external reviewers. It usually takes five weeks from when the article is sent out for review to the first decision.
All articles submitted to JDIS will be checked using the iThenticate. Manuscripts that are detected to have a high Similarity Index Percentage and verified not to be caused by the duplication with authors’ own preprints will be returned to the authors without further peer review.
JDIS will publish an official retraction of the paper for suspected plagiarism in a published article. The mechanism follows the guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which can be accessed at https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines
