Scientific Programming is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that provides a meeting ground for research results in, and practical experience with, software engineering environments, tools, languages, and models of computation aimed specifically at supporting scientific and engineering computing.

The journal publishes papers on language, compiler, and programming environment issues for scientific computing. Of particular interest are contributions to programming and software engineering for grid computing, high performance computing, processing very large data sets, supercomputing, visualization, and parallel computing. All languages used in scientific programming as well as scientific programming libraries are within the scope of the journal.
