Aims and scope
This single-blind peer-reviewed journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality material originating from all current and emerging scientific communities in which experimental research is increasingly based on large-scale research infrastructures. With particle, nuclear and astrophysics as prime examples, the journal welcomes contributions from all areas of fundamental and applied physics where collective international efforts take center stage.
Research in these fields is characterized by huge amounts of data generated at the very frontiers of energy, intensity and detector technology and call for substantial advances to address the highly specialized and ever more demanding requirements in the areas of computing, software, data science and numerical simulations. Future experimental and theoretical challenges will require extensive collaborative efforts and may yield novel approaches and solutions to a range of different scientific communities.
The journal welcomes Editorials – reflecting debated open issues or developments –, original research or technical papers, tutorials, reviews, and substantial community white papers.
The journal's scope includes but is not limited to
high-throughput computing
high-performance computing
related software and developments
infrastructure middleware development
data processing, hosting and sharing
machine learning and data science
