Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen.

Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (CASM) is a highly multidisciplinary modeling and simulation journal that serves as a unique forum for original, high-quality peer-reviewed papers with a specific interest and scope limited to agent-based and complex network-based modeling paradigms for Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). The highly multidisciplinary scope of CASM spans any domain of CAS. Possible areas of interest range from the Life Sciences (E.g. Biological Networks and agent-based models), Ecology (E.g. Agent-based/Individual-based models), Social Sciences (Agent-based simulation, Social Network Analysis), Scientometrics (E.g. Citation Networks) to large-scale Complex Adaptive COmmunicatiOn Networks and environmentS (CACOONS) such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Body Sensor Networks, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, pervasive mobile networks, service oriented architecture, smart grid and the Internet of Things.In general, submitted papers should have the following key elements:-           A clear focus on a specific area of CAS E.g. ecology, social sciences, large scale communication networks, biological sciences etc.) -           Either focus on an agent-based simulation model or else a complex network model based on data from CAS (e.g. Citation networks, Gene regulatory Networks, Social networks, Ecological Networks etc.).

Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. It publishes high quality papers covering theory and practical applications for HCIS. Coverage includes such topics as Human-computer interaction and User-centered Design: Social computing and social intelligence: Ubiquitous computing and mobile systems: Gaming and Semantic Systems: Computer-assisted Learning and Cognition: Privacy, Security and trust management: and Applications with Image Processing, Computer Vision Systems, Language and Search Engine Design.

The journal brings together researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Human-centric Computing technology and Information Sciences, and to disseminate the most innovative research and development of all aspects of human-centric computing. 

The IZA Journal of Labor & Development is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, covering all aspects of economic development related to issues of human behavior and/or the labor market of developing, emerging or transition countries, including both policy issues and more structural problems.Coverage includes all fields of labor economics in a development context, both empirical and theoretical. To enable the journals to make all of their content open access, usually SpringerOpen journals levy an article-processing charge (APC) for each manuscript accepted after peer review.The publication costs for articles in the IZA Journal Series are covered by IZA - Institute for the Study of Labor, so authors do not need to pay an article processing charge. Authors are supposed to actively support the IZA journals by refereeing a certain number of articles. Referee reports will be due 21 days after you accept assignment.More detailed information about the journal can be found on its dedicated website at  www.izajold.com, where you can also access all articles. As an additional service, all articles are also hosted on SpringerLink, Springer’s online collection of STM books, journals, protocols and reference works.
