The Computer Journal is changing!
Computer science has matured and evolved into many discrete areas of research. The Computer Journal is evolving too, in order to cater for the needs of authors and readers working in the modern research environment.
2009 will see the launch of the first of several new sections of The Computer Journal. Each section will be tightly focussed on a particular topic of importance within computer science. General and multidisciplinary papers will still be accommodated by The Computer Journal.
The Computer Journal Section A: Computer Science Methods and Tools will continue to publish the more general computer science papers, as The Computer Journal has always done.
Section B: Networks and Computer Systems is the first new section of The Computer Journal. The volume of research in networking has grown phenomenally over the past 10 years. The introduction of this new section reflects this, and will accommodate papers covering all aspects of networks, including architectures, protocols, security, operation and performance.
The frequency of the journal is increasing from 6 to 8 issues a year. Each section will comprise four issues and subscribers to The Computer Journal will receive all issues of both Sections.
Both Sections will publish papers which have been subjected to the rigorous peer-review process that has helped establish The Computer Journal as one of the most respected titles in computer science.
