Data Intelligence, co-sponsored by the National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences and China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation, is a peer-reviewed metadata centric academic journal that is targeted at data creators, data curators, data stewards, data policy makers, domain scientists and others interested in sharing data. The point of the publication is to include, but not limited to, articles discussing methodologies and/or data resources. The aim is to provide a vehicle to assist industry leaders, researchers and scientists in the sharing and reuse each other's data, metadata, knowledge bases, and data visualization tools. The journal will publish not only traditional articles, but also "data articles" with the contents in the form of knowledge graphs, ontologies, linked datasets and metadata resources. Data Intelligence aspires to introduce developing and emerging data-enabled technologies that will allow and facilitate the work of scientists to more deeply understand and extend the potential of their data. The journal maintains an academic center, a key educational channel, to offer intelligent data services and support for both machine and human to read and reuse data. The objectives of this journal are: Publishing papers specifically aimed at technologies and methodologies for data sharing, curation, etc. Publishing papers that describe specific data- or metadata- repositories that are being maintained and shared. Encouraging data sharing by systematically annotating data resources based on widely-adopted metadata standards. Collecting and cataloguing various knowledge bases such as knowledge graph, ontology, linked dataset and corpus, etc. and publishing information about these. Enabling automatic data annotation and semantification, and linking from newly imported data to the Data Intelligence repository. Providing added value (in the form of data links, synthesized analytics) to articles and data shared in the Data Intelligence repository. Promoting scientific activities that focus on creating new datasets. Giving explicit credit to data creators and disseminating their contributions both in the journal and in wider social media application. Facilitating connecting-dots to build and share real-time knowledge. The final goal of this journal is to build a research culture that is creating new datasets which are scientifically reward-worthy and sharing data is necessary to ensure the transparency and reproducibility i
