[DFSci] Knowledge sharing

[Eoghan Casey]

Joe,

In the early days, DFRWS was aligned with the free (online only) International Journal of Digital Evidence (IJDE). When the digital forensic community decided there was a need for a peer reviewed (in print) journal, we established Digital Investigation.

We periodically look into alternative open access possibilities, but have not found a viable alternative. There are a growing number of predatory publishers out there, so we have to be careful.

I agree with Spaf on all points, and I strive to maximize what the digital forensic community gets from Digital Investigation.

How feasible would it be to abandon Elsevier and go completely open access?

Dear friends, colleagues and members of the community I do not yet know:


Both as an author and Editor-in-Chief of the Digital Investigation journal, I understand the importance of accessibility of knowledge in our field.


While working hard to ensure that Digital Investigation meets the needs of our community, I continuously strive to increase the accessibility of content as described here:

I also encourage authors to make their own papers available on their personal websites or blogs, and by other means described here:

I welcome your reasonable suggestions to make Digital Investigation better serve our international community.
