International Journal of Computer Games Technology Launches

Author: by Beth A.

The International Journal of Computer Games Technology, which aims to bring together both the research and development aspects of games technology, covering the whole range of entertainment computing and interactive digital media, has recently launched. The focus will be on three research and development frontiers: first, to expand the technology frontier in terms of both hardware and software for games, second, to validate innovative procedures including algorithms and architectures for games, and finally, to explore novel applications of games technology both for entertainment and serious games. The journal is a peer-reviewed full "Open Access" journal, enabling world-wide, barrier-free, online access to the full text of published research articles. All interested readers can read, download, and/or print any articles without requiring a subscription to the journal. In addition, the journal allows open access to authors to retain their own copyright as long as they sign a Creative Commons Attribution License, which allows readers to freely access, print and redistribute an article as long as it is properly cited. The journal has distinguished editorial board members with extensive academic qualifications, ensuring that the journal will maintain high scientific standards and have a broad international coverage. The review and publication speed of the journal has fast turnover since the publisher's electronic Manuscript Tracking System (MTS) helps reduce the review time significantly. The board is aiming for an average publication time of a few weeks following acceptance. Furthermore, the articles of the journal are now published on an accelerated article-by-article basis to reduce the publication delay of accepted manuscripts.
