Four years and counting âŚ
It has been exactly four years since we launched the community journal âLow Code for Data Scienceâ, driven by a shared mission: To make data science more accessible.
In our very first article, âLow Code for Data Science: A New Journalâ, we outlined the need for:
â(âŚ) more knowledge and information about machine learning algorithms, data science techniques, best practices, and case studies [âŚ] using an open-source, low-code approach, targeting statisticians, engineers, marketing researchers, behavioural scientists, computer scientists, etc.â.
Four years and +600 articles later, that need hasnât faded away. That is, all sorts of professionals still need an accessible and easy to use tool to explore their data but the way we explore our data has evolved.
Today, AI has become an integral part of the data science cycle. It accelerates implementation time, lowers entry barriers, and opens up powerful new possibilities. Low code tools like KNIME Analytics Platform have massively embedded AI functionalities within their portfolio of nodes and operations.
Our journal has kept pace too. It has gradually included more AI-focused articles. However, our mission and the mission of the journal has not changed: supporting the education and upskilling of our reader base around data processing, data science, and now also AI operations to understand and get insights from your data.
The Editorial Board
With our journal maturing, time has come to bring in more structure and transparency to how articles are submitted, reviewed, and published. That is why we are introducing a rotating Editorial Board of four experts in data analytics â each serving a six-month term.
The editorial process has three key components: submissions, reviews, and operations. To support each of these, we are looking for volunteers to take on the following editorial roles:
- A Submission Editor oversees the submission process.
- A Review Editor manages the review and approval of articles.
- An Operation Editor handles the required journalâs logistics, layout and publishing tasks.
- A Chief Editor manages the Editorial Board team.
Notice. These are volunteer-based and independent roles, with no retribution from KNIME, besides occasional travel refunds or meeting sponsorship.
Call for Editors

Submission Editor
Youâll be the driving force behind new content â discovering fresh voices and collecting articles from the community that focus on data-related topics and showcase solutions built with the KNIME Analytics Platform.
Articles typically fall into three categories:
- Theory: Descriptions and explanations of algorithms and specific data techniques.
- Stories: Real-world success stories and practical implementations by detailed explanation of technical solutions to common use cases.
- Getting started: This is the most popular category, since it collects all introductory articles to KNIME Analytics Platform for beginners.
Review Editor
Youâll overview the review and acceptance process. Sometimes articles are packed with great ideas but need refining. Some articles are well-written but go off-topic or donât quite fit the journalâs focus. Youâll help strike the right balance â ensuring expression and technical content are both clear, accurate, and pertinent. You donât have to review all articles by yourself. You can also build a network of reviewers from the KNIME community to help and support with this task.
Operation Editor
Behind the scenes, someone needs to keep things running. Youâll overview the operations necessary for the journal to work, from uploading or removing articles from the platform and adjusting layouts to managing visuals and updates: youâll keep the journal tidy, readable, and engaging.
Chief Editor
This leadership role is for a data scientist with some years of experience in data and KNIME. Youâll guide and support the editorial team as coordinator and an advisor for all other more junior editors.
Serving on the Editorial Board usually requires just a few hours of commitment per week â but the impact youâll have on the community is far greater.
