*Scope*
The International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Elpub) enters its
18th year. Elpub 2014 will continue the tradition, bringing together
researchers, lecturers, librarians, developers, entrepreneurs, users and
all other stakeholders interested in issues regarding electronic publishing
in widely differing contexts. These include the human, cultural, economic,
social, technological, legal, commercial and other relevant aspects that
such an exciting theme encompasses.

Elpub 2014 will particularly focus on the openness and use of research data
as well as new and innovative publishing paradigms. We welcome
presentations and discussions that demonstrate the role of cultural
heritage and service organisations in the creation, accessibility, curation
and long term preservation of data. We aim to provide a forum for
discussing appraisal, citation and licensing of research data. Also, what
is new with reviewing, publishing and editorial technology in a
data-centric setting?
