The ever-increasing need to distribute, exchange, and integrate data, information, and knowledge has added further importance to this subject. Advances in the field will help facilitate new avenues of communication, to proliferate interdisciplinary discovery, and to drive innovation and commercial opportunity.DEXA is an international conference series which showcases state-of-the-art research activities in database, information, and knowledge systems. The conference and its associated workshops provide a premier annual forum to present original research results and to examine advanced applications in the field. The goal is to bring together developers, scientists, and users to extensively discuss requirements, challenges, and solutions in database, information, and knowledge systems.DEXA 2016 solicited original contributions dealing with any aspect of database, information, and knowledge systems. Suggested topics included but were not limited to:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
