LADS is an open-access journal focused on research outputs where data are central.

We publish Data Papers and Research Articles that require open, robust datasets, with emphasis on documentation and metadata to support discovery and reuse.

Why LADS may interest your library/community

• Promotes open data and reusable research outputs.

• Supports visibility through well-structured metadata and standard publishing workflows.

• Operates on a continuous publication model to disseminate content as soon as it is ready.

Privacy and platform improvement: data supporting platform development may be shared with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) in an anonymized and aggregated form, with appropriate exceptions such as article metrics.
