[CfP] Transactions on Graph Data & Knowledge: Call for Resource Articles

================================================
Transactions on Graph Data & Knowledge (TGDK)
Special Issue: Resources
Detailed Call: https://tgdk.org/si/2024-resources.html
Pre-checks due: June 3rd, 2024
Full submissions due: June 20th, 2024
================================================

Resources play an essential role in various aspects of Computer Science 
research. In the context of Graph Data & Knowledge, such resources may 
include benchmarks, datasets, engines, frameworks, interfaces, knowledge 
graphs, languages, ontologies, pre-trained models, standards, tools, 
user logs, web applications and services, etc. Unfortunately, despite 
the advances that such resources enable, the work invested into creating 
and maintaining them is often undervalued in a research setting.

In this TGDK Special Issue on Resources, we solicit submission of 
journal articles that describe in detail a resource relevant to research 
on Graph Data & Knowledge per the topics described in TGDK’s Call for 
Papers (https://tgdk.org/cfp.html).

Specifically, we are interested in descriptions of mature resources in 
this area that have already enjoyed significant adoption by third 
parties (not sharing an affiliation with those involved in creating or 
maintaining the resource). Such adoption may be, for example, in the 
context of research, industry or a specific user community. It is 
generally expected (unless clearly justified otherwise) that the 
resource described be made publicly available.


== Pre-check service ==

In order to ensure the suitability of a resource prior to investing 
effort preparing a full submission, TGDK’s Editors-in-Chief will provide 
a lightweight pre-check service. We ask the authors to first submit a 
short description (no more than 500 words) of the resource to the 
Editors-in-Chief to ensure relevance prior to preparing a submission. 
(See https://tgdk.org/si/2024-resources.html for details.)


== Publication ==

Accepted journal articles will be published in a Special Issue of 
Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge. As a Diamond Open Access 
journal, official versions of accepted TGDK articles (as accessible via 
DOI) are published by Dagstuhl Publishing and made available for free 
online without fees for authors nor readers. Dagstuhl Publishing also 
provides means to publish resources, which can be used by authors to 
ensure the long-term sustainability and archiving of their work.


== Timeline ==

The timeline for this Special Issue is as follows:
* Pre-check: June 3, 2024
