Guide for Authors
Computers & Graphics has an open access sister journal Graphics and Visual Computing. Computers & Graphics is dedicated to disseminate information on research and applications of computer graphics (CG) techniques. The journal encourages articles on: 1. Research and applications of interactive computer graphics. We are particularly interested in novel interaction techniques and applications of CG to problem domains. 2. State-of-the-art papers on late-breaking, cutting-edge research on CG. 3. Information on innovative uses of graphics principles and technologies. 4. Tutorial papers on advanced CG topics and pedagogical papers on innovations in CG education or novel uses of CG in education.
Computers & Graphics provides a medium to communicate information concerning interactive CG and CG applications. The journal focuses on interactive computer graphics, visualization and novel input modalities including virtual environments, and, within this scope, on graphical models, data structures, languages, picture manipulation algorithms and related software.
Replicability Badge and Software Publication
Computers & Graphics is collaborating with the GRSI (Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative), an independent group of volunteers who want to help the community by enabling sharing of code and data as a community resource for non-commercial use. The volunteers review the submitted code (and data) and certify its replicability. Note that an accepted paper will be published independently of the GRSI application outcome. However, if the paper receives the Replicability Stamp, it will be given additional exposure by having an attached Replicability Badge, and by being listed on the Replicability Stamp website. See http://www.replicabilitystamp.org for further information.
If interested to join this initiative, you have to click YES to the question asked during submission: "If my paper is accepted for publication, I will apply to the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI)"
Upon acceptance of your article, your code submission will be assigned a reviewer from the GRSI reviewer pool. The GRSI review is not blind, and the reviewer may contact you to ask for clarifications or changes to ensure that the guidelines are followed. During the code review process your article remains in an "Accepted - waiting for GRSI" state. It will be published as soon as the code review process terminates (normally, this happens in two weeks). If the code is approved, the Replicability Badge will appear on your published article.
In addition, we invite you to convert your open source software with GRSI Badge into an additional journal publication in Software Impacts, a multi-disciplinary open access journal. Software Impacts provides a scholarly reference to software that has been used to address a research challenge. The journal disseminates impactful and re-usable scientific software through Original Software Publications (OSP) which describe the application of the software to research and the published outputs.
