Submission categories:
Submissions will be accepted in the following categories:

1) Individual Research/Policy/Practitioner proposals to standard or special tracks in the form of full research papers or ii) extended abstracts

For the benefit of those authors who wish to submit their paper for consideration in the open-access Data & Policy Journal (cambridge.org/dap) published by Cambridge University Press, we are integrating the review process for the Conference into that of the Journal; it is intended that the reviews performed for the Conference will be considered as part of the Journal’s peer-review procedure, leading to faster decisions in the Journal and the potential of publication ahead of the Conference. The review process is likely to include multiple iterations that extend beyond the timeline of the conference, and publication is subject to reviewer comments being reflected in the final paper. Note that Conference acceptance does not guarantee publication in Data & Policy.

2) Individual Research/Policy/Practitioner proposals to standard or special tracks in the form of extended abstracts

3) Session proposals to standard or special tracks in the form of 3-4 presentations from researchers and/or practitioners, each of whom must provide an abstract.
