Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submission of papers describing original and solid research on algorithmic aspects of information retrieval and data mining over large, or very large, datasets. Topics can range from theoretical foundations to novel algorithmic approaches to tackle data mining problems arising in science, business, medicine, and engineering, when data size is an important issue in practice. In particular, we welcome contributions that are methodologically solid, supporting proposed approaches through a sound theoretical and/or experimental analysis, on scenarios of practical relevance. We also welcome application-oriented papers that make innovative technical contributions to research. Authors are explicitly discouraged from submitting incremental results that do not provide any significant advances over existing approaches.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent contributions of practical relevance from these areas, as well as contributions investigating the more theoretical aspects of large-scale data analysis.
Topics include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Large-scale information retrieval systems;
- Algorithmic and statistical techniques for big data analysis;
- Large-scale collaborative filtering;
- Algorithms for large-scale graph analysis;
- Large-scale machine learning and optimization;
- Algorithms and tools for distributed data mining (e.g., map reduction);
- Streaming algorithms;
- Applications of large-scale data analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
