J.UCS - The Journal of Universal Computer Science - is a

(J.UCS) [15]

high-quality electronic publication that deals with all aspects of computer science. J.UCS has been appearing monthly since 1995 and is thus one of the oldest electronic journals with uninterrupted publication since its foundation.

International Journal of Human Computer Studies [16]

The International Journal of Human-Computer Studies publishes original research over the whole spectrum of work relevant to the theory and practice of innovative interactive systems. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, covering research in computing, artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, communication, design, engineering, and social organization, which is relevant to the design, analysis, evaluation and application of innovative interactive systems.

The International Journal of Human Computer Interaction (IJHCI) [17]

The International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction addresses the cognitive, social, health, and ergonomic aspects of work with computers. It also emphasizes both the human and computer science aspects of the effective design and use of computer interactive systems. The journal presents original research both in the general aspects of interface design and in the special application of interface design in a variety of diversified leisure and work activities.

The purpose of this journal is to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their rapidly developing knowledge and report on new advances in Internet and Web-based systems. The journal also focuses on all database- and information-system topics that relate to the Internet and the Web, particularly on ways to model, design, develop, integrate, and manage these systems.

The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning [20] The Journal of The Learning Sciences (JLS)

The journal is recognised as the leading international journal of Higher Education studies.

JLS publishes research articles that advance our understanding of learning in real-world situations and of promoting learning in such venues, including articles that report on the roles technology can play in promoting deep

and lasting learning and in promoting engaged and thoughtful participation in learning activities, and articles reporting on new methodologies that enable rigorous investigation of learning in real-world situations. Instructional Science [21] Although the journal occasionally publishes review articles, strong preference is given to reports of original empirical research and the journal is unusual in giving space for full and detailed reporting of major studies. While studies focussing on learning processes, learning technology, learner characteristics and learning outcomes are welcome, papers published in the journal all make an explicit contribution to the science of instruction by drawing out the instructional implications of new research on learning. User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction. The Journal of Personalization Research (UMUAI) [22] User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of new research results on interactive computer systems that can be adapted or adapt themselves to their current users, and on the usage of user models for adaptation purposes. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation [23] Original research papers and critical reviews on all aspects of social simulation and agent societies that fall within the journal's objective to further the exploration and understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation are welcome. Social Science Computer Review [24] Social Science Computer Review is an interdisciplinary journal covering social science instructional and research applications of computing, as well as societal impacts of information technology. Because the uses and impacts of computing are interdisciplinary, so is Social Science Computer Review. The journal is of direct relevance to scholars and scientists in a wide variety of disciplines. Kybernetes [25] The journal aims to endow cybernetics and general systems with an authoritative voice of its own and to establish a competent international forum for the exchange and knowledge of information.
