The conference series has traditionally focussed on the domain of data preservation, stewardship and value adding of scientific data and research related information. However, we are also entering the era of big data; for this conference year we would like to extend a special invite to large-scale scientific archives so we can facilitate discussion of emergent issues across scientific domains. As we move to new and exciting technology age, we are seeing large-scale collaborations occurring on state of art virtual research environments and novel collaborative infrastructures. We would invite participation from projects, organisations or individuals developing novel data services within or as a result of these environments. This includes smaller bespoke archives wishing to integrate with larger data holdings to generate targeted knowledge and data services.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The PV2018 Conference offers several session formats:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> * Oral Sessions<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> * Poster Sessions<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regular papers for oral and poster presentations are selected on the basis of the submission on Easychair<<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pv2018">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pv2018</a>> and a peer-reviewed by the Programme Committee<<a href="http://www.ceda.ac.uk/contact/pv2018/pv2018-programme-and-organisation-committe/">http://www.ceda.ac.uk/contact/pv2018/pv2018-programme-and-organisation-committe/</a>>.
