Science is increasingly and rapidly becoming digital: research is commonly performed using research infrastructure services and tools available online or on desktop computers; digital products of science are encompassing also datasets, software, and experiments, thereby enabling the Open Science principles of "reproducibility" and "transparent assessment". Accordingly, to keep  their central role in scientific collaboration, Digital libraries must face new theoretical and technical challenges. With this vision in mind, IRCDL invites representatives from academia, government, industry, research communities, research infrastructures, to submit their ideas from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, social sciences and cultural heritage.

Contributions touched on the following topics: research impact; citation, provenance and curation of scientific datasets; metadata definition, management, and curation; interlinking of research products; educational practices; long-term preservation of research products; multi-media challenges; novel Scientific Document Models; publishing workflows; novel peer review practices; open Science models; quality and evaluation of digital libraries; scholarly Communication services; user interfaces; and Web solutions.
