An International Journal and Program Library for Computational PhysicsVisit the International Computer Program Library on Mendeley Data.Computer Physics Communications publishes research papers and application software in the broad field of computational physics; current areas of particular interest are reflected by the research interests and expertise of the CPC Editorial Board.The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP) These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.Computational Physics Papers (CP) These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; andalgebraic computation.Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository. In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.The introduction to each paper should be directed to a general audience and the author(s) must clearly articulate the novelty and significance of the paper and how it will advance the solution of an important physics application. Papers which, in the opinion of a Principal Editor, fail to do this will not be sent for review. The editor may consult with experts in the field in making this decision.Feature Articles are solicited by invitation and are aimed at highlighting topical subjects and providing reviews of important bodies of research work. Special and thematic issues are published on an occasional basis and enquiries should be directed to a member of the CPC Editorial Board.If this journal is a good fit for your review article, you can find out more via the Guide for Authors.

Journal of Computational Physics: X

ISSN: 2590-0552

Journal of Computational Physics: X will be discontinued after completion of Volume 17 (November 2023). The journal is no longer accepting new submissions. Access to previously published content will continue un-interrupted. Regrettably, this open access companion journal of Journal of Computational Physics has not generated sufficient interest in the community to warrant further continuation. The Journal of Computational Physics offers authors in this community the same aims and scope, editorial board and peer-review process with full open access options.

Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field. It develops mathematical and computational models and uses advanced computing techniques to simulate these models, driven by data. Its overarching goal is to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive and interventional capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.The recent advances in experimental techniques have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data-driven modeling and simulation which is no longer feasible using traditional analytical approaches alone.This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.Computational science typically unifies three distinct elements:• Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous); • Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems; • Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).The Journal of Computational Science aims to be an international platform to exchange novel research results in simulation-based science across all scientific disciplines. It publishes advanced innovative, interdisciplinary research where complex multi-scale, multi-domain problems in science and engineering are solved, integrating sophisticated numerical methods, computation, data, networks, and novel devices.The journal welcomes original, unpublished high quality contributions in the field of computational science at large, addressing one or more of the aforementioned elements.

SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today's research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact.To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that:The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact;The software developers are given the credits they deserve;The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply;The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered;The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use.Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below:Mathematical and Physical Sciences;Environmental Sciences;Medical and Biological Sciences;Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera.SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.Domain independent underpinning software tools and technologies have for too long been underrepresented in academic literature. We wish to ensure that these software items get academic recognition and welcome submissions of software tools and services that may otherwise not have a publication home. Examples include mathematical or image processing libraries or methodologies, visualization tools, data management, etcetera.Through the quality of the description and of the (potential) impact of the software deposited we aim that significant reuse will occur both within and without the original developing domain and therefore encourage consideration of this reuse factor when submitting and in the language used within the description.Submissions to SoftwareX consist of two major parts:A short descriptive paper of 3000-word limit;An open-source software distribution with support material.The manuscript you submit must be regarded as an accompanying note for the benefit of readers and potential users of your software.Submissions are accepted only if the code/software has been made freely available. To submit please follow the Original Software Publication guidelines.For any questions contact us at: [email protected] software publications published in SoftwareX are hosted on a repository on GitHub. A copy of the 'accepted for publication' version of software/code will be copied to the journal's GitHub repository for archiving purposes. Go to the SoftwareX GitHub repository
