Publication & Indexing

Proceedings of the congress will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data. The proceedings/books of the federated congress that this conference is part of have been evaluated for inclusion into major science citation index databases. We are happy to report that so far, the evaluation board of science citation index databases have approved the indexing, integrating, and inclusion of the following conference tracks into relevant indexing databases (indexing databases include, among others: Scopus, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others): BIOCOMP, DMIN, GCA, ICAI, ICOMP, ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM.

We are also happy to report that the proceedings of worldcomp are now indexed/included into EBSCO (www.ebsco.com). EBSCO is one of the top 200 companies in the nation, based on revenues and employee numbers, according to Forbes Magazine.

• News: January 23, 2015:
  The titles of proceedings of the federated congress have been indexed into the ACM Digital Library (http://dl.acm.org/) which includes bibliographic citations from major publishers in computing.

In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple books in each series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers (Transactions of Computational Science and Computational Intelligence). After the conference (the process may take 12 to 18 months), a significant number of authors of accepted papers of our congress, will be given the opportunity to submit the extended version of their papers for publication consideration in these and other books. We anticipate having between 10 and 20 books a year in each of these book series projects. Each book in each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing products (which includes: Scopus, SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others).

For a recent and a very small subset of the books (and journal special issues) that have been published mostly based on the extended versions of our congress papers, see below:
