The International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL) [http://www.dljournal.org/], published by Springer, has issued a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on eScience. Initiatives, which go under a variety of names including eScience,
eResearch, and cyberinfrastructure, are a response to the changing nature of scientific research. Research issues being addressed include
information retrieval, information modeling, ontologies, systems interoperability, and policy issues associated with providing transparent access to complex data sets.
The purpose of this special issue is to critically examine the role that digital libraries can and should play in this emerging eScience
computational infrastructure. Bringing the digital library and the emerging scientific infrastructure worlds together can lay the foundation for providing truly integrated support for the entire process of science, from formulation of research questions to the publication of the outcomes.
