Journal of Computer Science and Technology (JCST) , the only English Language Journal in the computer field published in China, is an international forum for scientists and engineers involved in all aspects of computer science and technology to publish high quality and refereed papers. Papers reporting original research and innovative applications from all parts of the world are welcome. Papers for publication in the journal are selected through rigorous peer review, to ensure originality, timeliness, relevance, and readability. While the journal emphasizes the publication of previously unpublished materials, selected conference papers with exceptional merit that require wider exposure are, at the discretion of the editors, also published, provided they meet the journal's peer review standards. The journal also seeks clearly written survey and review articles from experts in the field, to promote insightful understanding of the state-of-the-art and technology trends. JCST is covered in many authoritative indexing and abstracting systems, including SCIE, Web of Science, Research Alert, CompuMath Citation Index, Engineering Index, Science Abstracts, Computing Review, INSPEC, CBST, Abstracts Magazine, Computer Abstracts, Mathematical Review, Zentralblatt fuer Mathematik, and DBLP.
