Additional Information

In keeping with IEEE’s continued commitment to providing options to support the needs of all authors, IEEE is introducing an open journal for the Computer Society in 2020. The IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society (OJ-CS) is a rigorously peer-reviewed forum for rapid publication (five weeks) of open access articles describing high-impact results in all areas of interest to the IEEE Computer Society. OJ-CS complements existing IEEE Computer Society publications by providing a rapid review cycle and a thorough review of technical articles within the open-access-only framework. Our goal is to publish quickly; the rapid peer-review process is targeting a publication time frame of 5 weeks for most accepted papers. This journal is fully open and compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S.

We invite you to be among the first to have your article peer-reviewed and published in this new journal. This is an exciting opportunity for your research to benefit from the high visibility and interest the journal’s marketing launch will generate. Your work will also be exposed to 5 million unique monthly users of the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library.

OJ-CS will draw on the expert technical community to continue IEEE’s commitment to publishing the most highly cited content. The editor in chief is the distinguished Song Guo from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests are in big data, cloud computing, mobile computing, and distributed systems, with more than 450 papers published in major conferences and journals. Prof. Guo is an associate editor of four IEEE publications, has served as chair for numerous IEEE conferences, and is currently on the IEEE Communications Society’s Board of Governors.
