ACM and IEEE are the two premier associations on computing and electrical/electronics engineering which publish and organize the great majority of periodicals and conferences, respectively, serving these disciplines. Science is a constantly evolving process, and these publication fora are expected to follow the trends. In this article, we focus on the periodicals published by the two associations and seek to detect and/or confirm any contemporary science trends as these are reflected to the periodical titles established recently. Our study is rather qualitative than quantitative, aiming at revealing patterns immediately comprehensible and validatable by the reader. Among the most notable patterns, we see a growing preference of both associations for the open access mode of publication; we also observe ACM's orientation toward AI-focused periodicals, and most importantly, a significant theme overlap among periodicals of the same association and this is valid for both ACM and IEEE.
翻译:ACM与IEEE是计算机科学与电气/电子工程领域的两大权威协会,二者分别主办并组织服务于这些学科领域的绝大多数期刊与会议。科学是一个持续演进的过程,这些学术发表平台理应顺应发展趋势。本文聚焦于两大协会出版的期刊,旨在探测/确认近期创刊的期刊名称所反映的当代科学趋势。本研究偏向定性分析而非定量研究,旨在揭示读者能够直观理解并验证的模式。最显著的模式包括:两大协会均日益青睐开放获取出版模式;ACM逐渐聚焦于人工智能类期刊;尤为重要的是,同一协会内部期刊之间在主题上存在显著重叠——这一现象对ACM与IEEE均适用。
