The Journal of Object Technology is an online scientific journal welcoming manuscripts describing theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental results in the area of software and language engineering, including
- programming paradigms
- software language engineering
- model-based and model-driven engineering
- requirement engineering
- software architecture
- software validation & verification
- software maintenance and evolution
- software analytics
- software development process and methodology
Each issue contains columns by regular columnists and peer-reviewed papers. Columnists include Dave Thomas, Won Kim, Bertrand Meyer and John McGregor. Its first issue appeared in May 2002, in response to the need for an international journal covering the object-oriented and component-based development field. From 1986 to 2001, the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming played much of that role, but after it was sold to a new owner in 2000, it was announced in the following year that it would cease publication at the end of the year. The launching of The Journal of Object Technology was largely a response to this event, as leaders from the community realized a flagship publication was needed. Since then the journal evolved by broadening its audience.
Platinum open access
The Journal of Object Technology is open-access and completely free to both readers and authors ("platinum" model). This model has been adopted since the journal's visionary creation in 2002 and applies to all contributions (available under the Creative Commons license). If you are interested in the journal's view on open access and in understanding what are the pros and cons of the different open access models you can have a look at the following editorial Open Access: all you wanted to know and never dared to ask.[1]
Continuous publication scheme
The Journal of Object Technology uses a continuous publication scheme whereby regular papers, upon acceptance, are immediately added into a dynamic annual issue, with final DOI and other metadata.
Indexing
The journal has been indexed by DBLP, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, Scirus, ScientificCommons, Index of IS Journals, and Scopus. It is registered under ISSN 1660-1769.
