In the past few years, the research in the eld of analytics/ big data has piled up and has led to an exponential increase in
newer publications and research papers. And if your aim is to stay at par with the latest happenings and a step ahead of
your peers, it becomes inevitable to go through these pieces. But how?

Given academic research is not well publicised, it might still be tricky to nd which are the ones essential for you. Which
ones should you read to be aptly relevant for your area of interest? How to dig into the pool of those hundreds of
thousands of resources? Well, many of you must have come across these doubts and we are here to offer 10 most
essential academic journals one must de nitely have access to if he/she is a data scientist.

PS: We have compiled this list based on a combination of factors including Impact factor of the journal, how relevant,
active & up to date the journals are for a data scientist.

Artificial Intelligence


Arti cial Intelligence, which commenced publication in 1970, is now the generally accepted premier international forum
for the publication of results of current research in this eld. The journal welcomes foundational and applied papers
describing mature work involving computational accounts of aspects of intelligence.
 Big Data

Big Data, a highly innovative, peer-reviewed journal, provides a unique forum for world-class research exploring the
challenges and opportunities in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating vast amounts of data, including data science, big
data infrastructure and analytics, and pervasive computing.

The Journal addresses questions surrounding this powerful and growing eld of data science and facilitates the efforts of
researchers, business managers, analysts, developers, data scientists, physicists, statisticians, infrastructure
developers, academics, and policymakers to improve operations, pro tability, and communications within their
businesses and institutions.

Spanning a broad array of disciplines focusing on novel big data technologies, policies, and innovations, the Journal brings
together the community to address current challenges and enforce effective efforts to organize, store, disseminate,
protect, manipulate, and, most importantly, nd the most effective strategies to make this incredible amount of information
work to bene t society, industry, academia, and government.

Big Data Research

The journal aims to promote and communicate advances in big data research by providing a fast and high quality forum
for researchers, practitioners and policy makers from the very many different communities working on, and with, this
topic.

The journal will accept papers on foundational aspects in dealing with big data, as well as papers on speci c Platforms
and Technologies used to deal with big data. To promote Data Science and interdisciplinary collaboration between elds,
and to showcase the bene ts of data driven research, papers demonstrating applications of big data in domains as
diverse as Geoscience, Social Web, Finance, e-Commerce, Health Care, Environment and Climate, Physics and Astronomy,
Chemistry, life sciences and drug discovery, digital libraries and scienti c publications, security and government will also
be considered. Occasionally the journal may publish whitepapers on policies, standards and best practices.

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis by International Association

for Statistical Computing (IASC)
Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA), the of cial journal of the International Association of Statistical
Computing (IASC), is an international journal dedicated to the dissemination of methodological research and applications
in the areas of computational statistics and data analysis.
Foundations and Trends® in Machine Learning
Foundations and Trends® in Machine Learning publishes high-quality survey and tutorial monographs of the eld using
modern techniques to enable both instant linking to the primary research in its electronic form and affordable paper
copies, nally delivering on the promise to authors of multiple channel publishing from a single source.

Each issue of Foundations and Trends ® in Machine Learning comprises a 50-100 page monograph written by research
leaders in the eld. Monographs that give tutorial coverage of subjects, research retrospectives as well as survey papers
that offer state-of-the-art reviews fall within the scope of the journal.

International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining

IJBIDM provides a forum for state-of-the-art developments and research as well as current innovative activities in
business intelligence, data analysis and mining. Intelligent data analysis provides powerful and effective tools for problem
solving in a variety of business modelling tasks. IJBIDM highlights intelligent techniques used for business modelling,
including all areas of data visualisation, data pre-processing (fusion, editing, transformation, ltering, sampling), data
engineering, data mining techniques, tools and applications, neurocomputing, evolutionary computing, fuzzy techniques,
expert systems, knowledge ltering, and post-processing.

International Journal of Data Science and Analytics

Data-driven scienti c discovery is a key emerging paradigm driving research innovation and industrial development in
domains such as business, social science, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing. The eld encompasses the larger
areas of data analytics, machine learning, and managing big data, while related new scienti c challenges range from data
capture, creation, storage, search, sharing, analysis, and visualization, to integration across heterogeneous,
interdependent complex resources for real-time decision-making, collaboration, and value creation. The journal
welcomes experimental and theoretical ndings on data science and advanced analytics along with their applications to
real-life situations.

Journal of Big Data

Journal of Big Data publishes high-quality, scholarly research papers, methodologies and case studies covering a broad
range of topics, from big data analytics to data-intensive computing and all applications of big data research. The journal
examines the challenges facing big data today and going forward including, but not limited to: data capture and storage;
search, sharing, and analytics; big data technologies; data visualization; architectures for massively parallel processing;
data mining tools and techniques; machine learning algorithms for big data; cloud computing platforms; distributed le
systems and databases; and scalable storage systems. Academic researchers and practitioners will nd the Journal of
Big Data to be the de nitive, most comprehensive reference in the eld.

Machine Learning
Machine Learning is an international forum for research on computational approaches to learning. The journal publishes
articles reporting substantive results on a wide range of learning methods applied to a variety of learning problems.

The journal features papers that describe research on problems and methods, applications research, and issues of
research methodology. Papers making claims about learning problems or methods provide solid support via empirical
studies, theoretical analysis, or comparison to psychological phenomena. Applications papers show how to apply learning
methods to solve important applications problems. Research methodology papers improve how machine learning
research is conducted.

All papers describe the supporting evidence in ways that can be veri ed or replicated by other researchers. The papers
also detail the learning component clearly and discuss assumptions regarding knowledge representation and the
performance task.
