Call for Papers

(Here we provide the Regular Call for Papers. See also a list of Special Issues open for submissions.)

Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge is an Open Access journal that publishes research contributions relating to the use of graphs for data and knowledge management. Such contributions may be experimental or theoretical in nature, where submissions that combine both aspects are particularly welcome. The journal thus welcomes submissions from research communities – such as Graph Analytics and Algorithms, Graph Databases, Graph Representation Learning, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web – that provide novel insights into the use of graphs for generating, representing and managing data and knowledge. Likewise contributions relating to the use of graphs in the context of Big Data, Data Integration, Data Science, Information Extraction, Information Retrieval, Knowledge Representation, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, etc., are welcome.

We welcome the following types of submissions:

• Research Articles present novel research contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in their respective area. They are reviewed based on novelty, relevance, impact, technical soundness, reproducibility and clarity.
• Survey Articles present a novel, systematic and comprehensive synthesis of published research works within a chosen scope. They are reviewed based on novelty, relevance, scope, completeness and clarity.
• Resource Articles (please see detailed description) present a detailed description of a resource relevant in a research context; key examples include a benchmark, knowledge graph, online system, ontology, specification, tool, etc. They are reviewed based on novelty, relevance, clarity, technical soundness, impact and resoure quality. We solicit two types of resource submissions:
  • Mature resources that have already enjoyed significant adoption by third parties.
  • Emerging resources that have only recently been made available, but that provide novel scientific results.

For more details about the review criteria for all such submissions, please see the detailed description.
