e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of computational infrastructure that will enable it. These two volumes contain selected papers from the UK e-Science All Hands Meeting, which was held in Oxford, UK, in December 2009. This meeting has become the annual event where computational scientists and technologists come together to share, discuss and advance the exciting research that has grown out of the UK e-Science Programme.

The ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) aims to develop and promote the use of e-science to benefit social science research. The research programs (and grants) are enormous!

Open Science Summit, which took place in July at Berkeley, is a good example of how "digital scholarship", "e-science" and "open science" and "scholarly communications" are terms from the same vocabulary we are creating to talk about the changes in academia, knowledge transfer, innovation, etc.

A new way to define "digital scholarship" as a family of digital forms of scholarly communication (rather than e-science or e-social science, etc.)

What was highly significant, however, was the pace of discussion and analysis, carried out in real time on blogs and a wiki that had been quickly set up for the purpose of collectively analyzing the paper. This kind of collaboration has emerged only in recent years in the math and computer science communities. In the past, intense discussions like the one that surrounded the proof of the Poincaré conjecture were carried about via private e-mail and distribution lists as well as in the pages of traditional paper-based science journals.

Data-intensive science and the marriage of science and IT is happening in astronomy, high-energy physics and genomics. The article provides successful examples of eScience and the challenges hindering the spread of eScience (e.g. lack of tools, database a

The E-science and Academic Libraries Bibliography includes English-language articles, books, editorials, and technical reports that are useful in understanding the broad role of academic libraries in e-science efforts. The scope of this brief selective bibliography is narrow, and it does not cover data curation and research data management issues in libraries in general (see the Digital Curation and Preservation Bibliography 2010 for coverage of these topics).

In this paper, we propose the construction of ontologies as a means of monitoring a research programme's portfolio of projects. In particular, we introduce the "virtual laboratory ontology" (VLO) and show how its application to e-Science yields a mapping

Fourth Annual University of Massachusetts and New England Area Librarian e-Science Symposium Wednesday, April 4, 2012 Hoagland-Pincus Center Shrewsbury, Mass. features presentations and posters

The CLARIN project is a large-scale pan-European collaborative effort to create, coordinate and make language resources and technology available and readily usable. CLARIN offers scholars the tools to allow computer-aided language processing, addressing one or more of the multiple roles language plays (i.e. carrier of cultural content and knowledge, instrument of communication, component of identity and object of study) in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Joint IEEE and Microsoft Research e-science conference

A collection of accepted papers, some contributed slidedecks, and supplementary documents presented at IATUL 2010 are available at http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/iatul2010/.

"The combination of Elsevier's and Collexis' knowledge discovery technologies will create a powerful set of applications designed to support scientific management and assessment." Publishers are offering more and more tools, e.g. Thomson Reuter's InCites and SciVal.

University of Washington Provost Ana Mari Cauce has allocated permanent funding to the eScience Institute to stimulate the hiring of faculty members who conduct cutting-edge research on methodologies for data-driven discovery, and whose teaching and outreach will put advanced tools and techniques into the hands of UW's broad base of outstanding researchers.

"Objective: This paper describes three different institutional experiences in developing research data management programs and services, challenges/opportunities and lessons learned. Overview: This paper is based on the Librarian Panel Discussion during the 4th Annual University of Massachusetts and New England Region e-Science Symposium."
