Summary:

Technology is rewiring our world, and data is its lifeblood. In a world where we create over two quintillion bytes of data every day, global leaders in academia, industry, and government are grappling with the problem of how to organize, store, evaluate, share, and protect this vast amount of information. To address the complicated questions surrounding this powerful and growing field of data discovery, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers has released an exclusive preview issue of Big Data (ww.liebertpub.com/big) at the Strata + Hadoop World conference in New York City. The Journal is a highly innovative, open access journal that will publish peer-reviewed content without author processing fees.  The premier issue includes original articles by Jimmy Lin at the iSchool, University of Maryland, 'MapReduce is good enough? If all you have is a hammer, throw away everything that’s not a nail!' and Roger Higdon, et al. 'Unraveling the Complexities of Life Sciences Data,' along with an exclusive interview with Jim Adler, Chief Privacy Officer and General Manager of Data Systems at Intelius, about big data and thought crime, and an opinion piece by Robert Kirkpatrick, Director of U.N. Global Pulse. Read the full preview issue on the Big Data website at www.liebertpub.com/big.  With an innovative and pioneering business model to support this publication, authors will be able to publish their research without paying author processing fees, and readers will have the ability to access this content worldwide at no charge. By providing a unique forum for the vast dissemination of world-class data science research that addresses the challenges and opportunities in big data, the Journal will bring the field of big data and the skills of the data scientist to a new level of excellence.  'The Journal will provide the necessary focus to bring together research and experience from a broad array of disciplines, whether technical, social or industrial,' Says Editor-in-Chief, Edd Dumbill. 'This unique Journal platform will connect industry, academia and government to better serve a world where the pace from research to implementation is ever accelerating.'  To ensure the broadest and most timely dissemination of research and experience, Big Data will publish open access under the CC-BY license..."
