Journal Guide

International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) details the science and engineering of this rapidly growing field. Regular articles present major technical advances of broad general interest. Short articles provide a fast publication path for novel research results. Survey articles offer critical reviews of the state of the art and/or tutorial presentations of pertinent topics. Coverage includes: - Mathematical, physical and computational aspects of computer vision: image formation, processing, analysis, and interpretation; machine learning techniques; statistical approaches; sensors. - Applications: image-based rendering, computer graphics, robotics, photo interpretation, image retrieval, video analysis and annotation, multi-media, and more. - Connections with human perception: computational and architectural aspects of human vision. The journal also features book reviews, position papers, editorials by leading scientific figures, as well as additional on-line material, such as still images, video sequences,

An official publication of the International Society of the Learning Sciences, the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (IJCSCL) fosters a deep understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The journal serves as a forum for experts from such disciplines as education, computer science, information technology, psychology, communications, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and business. Articles investigate how to design the technological settings for collaboration and how people learn in the context of collaborative activity. Examining the use of CSCL in education, business, and society, IJCSCL also investigates the psychological, social, and technological impact of CSCL on individuals, groups, and society. The journal publishes original empirical investigations, extensions of previous work, critical and integrative theoretical and methodological contributions, and synthetic reviews.

To differentiate from other similar journals. the editorial policy of IJCCC encourages especially the publishing of scientific papers that focus on the convergence of the 3 'C' (Computing. Communication. Control). “Thomson Reuters Subject Category of IJCCC: AUTOMATION and CONTROL SYSTEMS Category Description: Automation and Control Systems covers resources on the design and development of processes and systems that minimize the necessity of human intervention. Resources in this category cover control theory. control engineering. and laboratory and manufacturing automation. COMPUTER SCIENCE. INFORMATION SYSTEMS Category Description: Computer Science. Information Systems covers resources that focus on the acquisition. processing. storage. management. and dissemination of electronic information that can be read by humans. machines. or both. This category also includes resources for telecommunications systems and discipline-specific subjects such as medical informatics. chemical information processing systems. geographical information systems. and some library science.

The International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials (IJCSM) provides a forum targeted for engineers and scientists around the globe to present and discuss various topics related to concrete, concrete structures and other allied materials incorporating cement, cementitious binder, and polymer or fiber in conjunction with concrete. These forums give participants an opportunity to contribute their knowledge for the advancement of society. Topics include, but are not limited to, research results on:Properties and performance of concrete and concrete structuresAdvanced and improved experimental techniquesLatest modeling methodsPossible improvement and enhancement of concrete propertiesStructural and microstructural characterizationConcrete applicationsFiber reinforced concrete technologyConcrete waste management IJCSM also publishes review articles, as well as short communications and discussions. IJCSM is currently published quarterly under the auspice of the Korea Concrete Institute. In addition, scholars from over 17 countries have contributed as editorial staff and judges for IJCSM, helping the world’s top scholars to publish their best research papers.

This is a premier international journal with global reach that provides scholars and practitioners with insightful analyses and new methods for the successful management of conflicts between people, organizations, and cultures.

The IJCV is a forum for scientific exchange and public dissemination of up-to-date scientific knowledge on conflict and violence. The IJCV is peer reviewed, open access and included in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI).The subjects on which we concentrate—conflict and violence—have always been a concern in many areas of academic life. Consequently, the journal encompasses contributions from a wide range of disciplines including sociology, political science, education, social psychology, criminology, ethnology, history, political philosophy, urban studies, economics, and the study of religions.The IJCV is published twice a year, in spring and in autumn. In order to promote debate on questions that often tend to be unfairly marginalized, each issue begins with a focus section featuring contributions addressing a selected field of topical interest. Examples are given below. These subjects are announced in advance on our website and in calls for papers. Each issue of the journal also contains an open section to provide a platform for general contributions on conflict and violence. Identical criteria of scientific eligibility apply to both sections.The topics we address will include e. g.:*terrorism*anti-semitism*hate crimes*prejudice*discrimination*human rights*the exercise and experience of violence*inter-group violence*conflicts over religious symbols* women and violence*violence against the aged*youth violence*language conflicts*ethnic wars*conflict mediation*evaluation of anti-violence programsContributions should include empirical findings and/or advances in theory.While the findings published in the IJCV are mainly generated by researchers, the journal’s target readership also includes other interested members of civil society and state and government institutions.Dissemination of knowledge is undergoing rapid change, and the inadequacies of conventional printed media for communication within the scientific community and beyond its borders are rapidly becoming apparent. Conventional printing and distribution of a journal consumes scarce financial and human resources and restricts access to subscribers only. We believe that open access electronic publication is the best response to the demand for swift, open, and free dissemination of knowledge as a common good.Though originating from Europe, IJCV’s scope is global. In a polyglot world, language barriers are serious obstacles to communication. Until now, many non-English speaking authors in the field of conflict and violence research—despite closely following the international publications and often studying similar phenomena in different national settings—have been unable to convey their own findings to the international scientific community and have been confined to national readerships. We wish to give our forum the widest possible impact and accessibility so, recognizing that English has become the medium of international communication in almost all humanities and sciences, we publish articles in English only. We will—within our available means—provide editing and translation assistance for qualified contributions, in order to avoid putting at a disadvantage those who are not native speakers of English.
