RIdoWS is an open access journal published by ISTE OpenScience in the Information science collection.

Scope

In the era of Big Data, accessing the information has become a major research issue.

The multiplicity of the forms of documents (multimedia, multilingual, structured or not) and the multiplicity of their uses increasingly favor a mixing between different communities in order to analyze the documents in their complexity. RIDoWS is the meeting point of these scientific or industrial communities interested in information retrieval, semantic Web, analysis of documents or multimedia collections (texts, images, sounds, videos ...).

RIDoWS aims at spreading high-quality work in these fields:
- as long papers, presenting a complete work, state-of-the-art, an opinion paper, etc.;
- or as "ultra-short" papers (5p), presenting a tool, a resource or a research project, reading notes, workshop note, etc.;
- in French or English;
- within an open access policy, and quickly published "on the fly".

Best papers will be selected (translated if needed) for international publication (with Wiley or Elsevier as co-publisher).
