  1. Purpose and scope:
    The Journal of the ACM (JACM) provides coverage of the most significant work going on in computer science, broadly construed. It is a peer-reviewed journal, published six times a year by ACM.We publish original research papers of lasting value in computer science. To be accepted, a paper must be judged to be truly outstanding in its field and to be of interest to a wide audience. We are particularly interested in work at the boundaries, both the boundaries of subdisciplines of computer science and the boundaries between computer science and other fields.Related links: http://jacm.acm.org/
  1. Number of publications: 6/year
  2. Number of papers published each year: An average of 28 papers published per year (34 articles were published in 2009, 28 articles in 2008, and 32 articles in 2007)
