Aims and scope

Announcement

We are pleased to announce that Information Retrieval Journal became fully open access (OA) on 1 January 2024 and moved into our Discover series as Discover Computing. As a result, all submissions are subject to an article publication charge (APC) if accepted (unless a waiver is applied) and will be published in Discover Computing. Please see our FAQs journal update for more information on APCs, funding options, and waivers. 

Discover Computing is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research and policy developments across all fields relevant to computer science. The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in computer science, and its uses in research development and society. As a fully open access journal, we ensure that our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone. The journal particularly welcomes work that aims to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
