Additional Information

The IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society (OJ-CS) is a rigorously peer-reviewed forum for rapid publication (five weeks) of open access articles describing high-impact results in all areas of interest to the IEEE Computer Society. OJ-CS complements existing IEEE Computer Society publications by providing a rapid review cycle and a thorough review of technical articles within the open-access-only framework. Our goal is to publish quickly; the rapid peer-review process is targeting a publication time frame of 5 weeks for most accepted papers. This journal is fully open and compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S. OJ-CS draws on the expert technical community to continue IEEE’s commitment to publishing the most highly cited content.

The Open Journal of the Computer Society‘s 2024 impact factor is 8.2.
