• About the Data Science Journal

The CODATA Data Science Journal (DSJ) is a peer-reviewed, open access,

electronic journal, publishing papers on the management, dissemination, use and
reuse of research data and databases across all research domains, including
science, technology, the humanities and the arts. The scope of the journal
includes descriptions of data systems, their implementations and their
publication, applications, infrastructures, software, legal, reproducibility and
transparency issues, the availability and usability of complex datasets, and with a
particular focus on the principles, policies and practices for open data.
As with all DSJ articles, submissions to this special collection will undergo a
rigorous peer review process to ensure scholarly quality and relevance.

• Call for Papers: Data Science and Machine Learning for
Cybersecurity
Manuscript Submission Deadline: April 30, 2023
Recent changes in data science are transforming cybersecurity in a computing
context. Applied science is the process of applying scientific methods, machine
learning techniques, processes, and systems to data. While Cybersecurity Data
Science (CSDS) enables more actionable and intelligent computing in the domain
of cybersecurity as compared to traditional methods. It encompasses the rapidly
growing practice of applying data science to prevent, detect, and remediate
cybersecurity threats.
Cybersecurity data science is a fast-developing field that uses data science
techniques to address cybersecurity issues. Data-driven, statistical, and
analytical methodologies are increasingly used to close security holes. It
examines the healthcare, transportation, surveillance, social media, and law
enforcement sectors, in order to evaluate the specific issues they pose and how
they can be addressed.
Cybersecurity data science is the focus of this special issue, with analytics
supporting the most recent trends to optimize security solutions. The data is
acquired from reliable cybersecurity sources. Using machine learning, the
problem also aims to develop a multi-layered cybersecurity modeling
framework. Data-driven intelligent decision-making can help defend systems
against cyberattacks as we address cybersecurity data science and pertinent
methodologies.
o Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
o Cloud-based cybersecurity analytics
o Real-time IoT/endpoint-based detection
o Deep learning and reinforcement learning
o Human-in-the-loop cyclical machine learning
o Adversarial attacks on machine learning systems
o AI-driven fake news and disinformation campaigns
o Cybercrime analysis, intelligence, and security
o Big crime data science algorithms and open-source situational awareness
o Misinformation and hate speech detection and mitigation
o Data-driven cyber knowledge base development
o Data Science to demonstrate cyber weakness
o Robustness and interpretability in ML for security tasks
