The Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (IRCDL) is the annual Italian forum to discuss research topics on Digital Libraries and related technical, practical, and social issues. Along the years, IRCDL touched several aspects underlying the ?Digital Library" domain and promptly adapted to the evolution of the field. Today, the ?Digital Library" field includes theory and practices reflecting the evolution of the role of libraries in the scholarly communication domain, and also embracing scholarly communication and open science. The theme of IRCDL 2019 was ?Digital Libraries: Supporting Open Science". Three main reasons motivated this theme: (i) science is increasingly becoming digital, meaning that research is performed using data services and digital tools; (ii) the results of the research are no longer just traditional scientific publications; (iii) the outcomes of science are increasingly encompassing datasets, software, and experiments. As digital artifacts, such products can be shared and re-used together with the article, thus enabling comprehensive research assessment and various degrees of reproducibility of science. Positive consequences of this shift towards Open Science are: accelerating science, optimizing the cost of research, fraud detection, and fullyfledged scientific reward. Digital Libraries are central in the evolution of research outputs by targeting findability, preservation, interlinking, and re-use of research products and by integrating the components of the scholarly communication process. The conference has been organized in Pisa, and the proceedings are published in the Springer CCIS series Vol. 988 [22]. Pre-print versions, research datasets, and research software relative to the accepted contributions are accessible via Zenodo.org.

数字图书馆

意大利数字图书馆研究会议 (IRCDL) 是一年一度的意大利论坛，旨在讨论数字图书馆及相关技术、实践和社会问题的研究主题。多年来，IRCDL触及了“数字图书馆”领域的几个方面，并迅速适应了该领域的发展。今天，“数字图书馆”领域包括反映图书馆在学术交流领域角色演变的理论和实践，并且还拥抱学术交流和开放科学。IRCDL 2019 的主题是“数字图书馆：支持开放科学”。推动这一主题的三个主要原因：（i）科学越来越数字化，这意味着研究是使用数据服务和数字工具进行的；(ii) 研究结果不再只是传统的科学出版物；(iii) 科学成果越来越多地包含数据集、软件和实验。作为数字产品，这些产品可以与文章一起共享和重复使用，从而实现全面的研究评估和不同程度的科学再现性。这种向开放科学转变的积极后果是：加速科学、优化研究成本、欺诈检测和成熟的科学奖励。数字图书馆通过研究产品的可查找性、保存、互连和重复使用以及整合学术交流过程的组成部分，在研究成果的演变中处于核心地位。会议在比萨举办，论文集发表在 Springer CCIS 系列 Vol。988 [22]。与已接受的贡献相关的预印本、研究数据集和研究软件可通过 Zenodo.org 访问。
