The International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR) has launched a new genre of research paper at the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. IJRR data papers, which have not previously been tried in the robotics community, aim to facilitate and encourage the release of high-quality, peer reviewed datasets to the robotics community.
IJRR, published by SAGE, is the oldest scholarly publication on robotics research. The introduction of data papers will enable authors to share original experimental data and provide the means to overcome a significant barrier to entry in robotics which currently slows down development in the field.
Data papers will be fully peer reviewed, and the papers will appear in the print version of the journal so that they can be cited in the same way as research papers. Ultimately, IJRR aims to provide an archival service to authors, hosting datasets and their supporting websites.
In addition to the new data papers, SAGE will launch a revamped multimedia site for IJRR. Access to supplementary data remains free to authors, and accessible to all. Each extension is peer-reviewed.
