J.UCS Subscription

Open access

It is a great pleasure to inform our readers, authors, editors and subscribers that three organisations in Graz, Austria, headed by Graz University of Technology (www.tugraz.at), and supported by the KNOW-Center (www.know-center.org) and Campus 02 (http://www.campus02.at/) have decided to support the Open Access Initiative for scientific literature: the three organisations will cover the costs of running J.UCS (and its younger sister journals J.UKM and J.USTL) in the future. At the present moment, we are also negotiating with two further institutions: if these negotiations are successful, we will be able to include further journals in the initiative).

This means that volume 13 and all back-issues (by now some 1.500 contributions) will be accessible to everyone free of charge as of January 1, 2007. The same applies to J.UKM and J.USTL. See also What's New for further details.

We are convinced that open access will make J.UCS will even more attractive than it already is: a high-quality, peer-reviewed journal published monthly in an electronic edition and annually in printed form. (The latter will still have to be paid for since the printing costs and postage must be covered by the sale. The printed annual archive editions can be order from http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/print.
