They offer a route to increase the visibility of research data outputs whilst also rewarding creators with a peer-reviewed publication, credit, and increased opportunity for citation (Walters, 2020). This event will feature presentations from researchers from a range of disciplines, in both STEM and the humanities, involved in editing data journals, who will share their experiences and advice with attendees. The event will introduce the concept of data journals and how they operate and explore best practices when submitting papers to these journals or developing data journal publications. There will be opportunities for questions and discussions throughout the event. This event is delivered by the N8 Centre of Excellence in Computationally Intensive Research (N8 CIR) and attendance is open to anyone with an interest in learning more about data journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walters, W.H.
