Journal Title：Software-practice & Experience

Software: Practice and Experience is an internationally respected and rigorously refereed vehicle for the dissemination and discussion of practical experience with new and established software for both systems and applications.

Articles published in the journal must be directly relevant to the design and implementation of software at all levels, from a useful programming technique all the way up to a large scale software system. As the journal’s name suggests, the focus is on practice and experience with software itself. The journal cannot and does not attempt to cover all aspects of software engineering.

The key criterion for publication of a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other persons engaged in software design and implementation might benefit. Originality is also important. Exceptions can be made, however, for cases where apparently well-known techniques do not appear in the readily available literature.

Contributions regularly:

Provide detailed accounts of completed software-system projects which can serve as ‘how-to-do-it’ models for future work in the same field;

Present short reports on programming techniques that can be used in a wide variety of areas;

Document new techniques and tools that aid in solving software construction problems;

Explain methods/techniques that cope with the special demands of large-scale software projects. However, software process and management of software projects are topics deemed to be outside the journal’s scope.

The emphasis is always on practical experience; articles with theoretical or mathematical content are included only in cases where an understanding of the theory will lead to better practical systems.

If it is unclear whether a manuscript is appropriate for publication in this journal, the list of referenced publications will usually provide a strong indication. When there are no references to Software: Practice and Experience papers (or to papers in a journal with a similar scope such as JSS), it is quite likely that the manuscript is not suited for this journal. Additionally, one of the journal’s editors can be contacted for advice on the suitability of a particular topic.

《軟件：實踐與經驗》是一本國際知名且經過嚴格審查的期刊，用于傳播和討論系統和應用程序的新舊軟件的實踐經驗。

在期刊上發表的文章必須與軟件的各個層面的設計和實現直接相關，從有用的編程技術一直到大型軟件系統。正如期刊名稱所示，重點是軟件本身的實踐和經驗。期刊不能也不會試圖涵蓋軟件工程的所有方面。

發表論文的關鍵標準是它做出的貢獻可能會使從事軟件設計和實現的其他人受益。原創性也很重要。但是，如果某些技術在現成的文獻中沒有出現，則可以例外。

定期投稿：

提供已完成的軟件系統項目的詳細說明，這些項目可以作為未來在同一領域工作的“如何做”模型；

提供可用于各種領域的編程技術的簡短報告；

記錄有助于解決軟件構建問題的新技術和工具；

解釋應對大型軟件項目特殊需求的方法/技術。但是，軟件過程和軟件項目管理被視為超出了期刊范圍的主題。

重點始終放在實踐經驗上；僅當理解理論將導致更好的實際系統時，才包含具有理論或數學內容的文章。

如果不清楚稿件是否適合在此期刊上發表，參考出版物列表通常會提供強有力的指示。如果沒有對《軟件：實踐與經驗》論文（或類似范圍的期刊論文，如 JSS）的引用，則稿件很可能不適合此期刊。此外，可以聯系期刊的編輯之一，以獲取有關特定主題是否合適的建議。

Software-practice & Experience創刊于1971年，由John Wiley and Sons Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 計算機：軟件工程全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約6月 ，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
