RSS feedsThe two journals, published in association, will be available in print as well as Springer’s digital platform. The Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society, that provides original research papers in all fields of computer science, was previously published by the society itself.
The quarterly journal which accepts both theoretical and experimental papers, will be published at Springer starting in spring 2010 under the editorial guidance of Maria Cristina Ferreira de Oliveira of the Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil.
In addition, the two organisations have joined hands to launch a quarterly journal JISA in April next year. It aims at disseminating scientific knowledge and technological research to further the development of the internet. It will provide a platform for the discussion of state-of-the-art internet research and will focus on research and development initiatives for internet applications, services and technologies.
With a global scope, JISA will solicit papers from researchers, practitioners and industrial partners worldwide. Fabio Kon of the Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil and Gordon Blair of the University of Lancaster, UK, are the editors-in-chief.
Separately, the publisher has launched a free, multidimensional professional networking site dedicated to those working and studying the brain called The NeuroNetwork.
Members can create profiles with their research interests and publications; upload presentations, images, and videos; post questions and discussions on new research; form and join groups based on their interests or geographical location; post and search job listings; start a blog; and view, post, and RSVP to upcoming meetings.
“Our goal is to provide a forum for those with professional interests in neuroscience and related fields, and to allow our members to share information and opinion in real time. We hope to keep an open dialogue with our members and engage with them to build an active online community,” said Ann Avouris, senior editor, Neuroscience, Springer.
