About the journal
Description
The Journal of Web Semantics is an interdisciplinary journal based on research and applications of various subject areas that contribute to the development of a knowledge-intensive and intelligent service Web. These areas include: knowledge technologies, ontology, agents, databases and the semantic grid, obviously disciplines like information retrieval, language technology, human-computer interaction and knowledge discovery are of major relevance as well. All aspects of the Semantic Web development are covered. The publication of large-scale experiments and their analysis is also encouraged to clearly illustrate scenarios and methods that introduce semantics into existing Web interfaces, contents and services. The journal emphasizes the publication of papers that combine theories, methods and experiments from different subject areas in order to deliver innovative semantic methods and applications.
The Journal of Web Semantics addresses various prominent application areas including:
e-business, e-community, knowledge management, e-learning, digital libraries and e-sciences.
The Journal of Web Semantics publishes high quality papers that cover theoretical issues, methods, tools, system descriptions and applications. Papers should be normal journal-length or short, descriptive papers e.g. systems or applications. Special sections will cover conference and workshop reports as well as book reviews.
The Journal of Web Semantics features a multi-purpose web site, which can be found at:  http://www.semanticwebjournal.org/. Accepted papers are immediately available online (associated with appropriate metadata) and readers are able to annotate documents with additional comments and links to related material. The unique character of the journal makes it possible to extend the scope beyond traditional journals. Open-source software and tools that help to advance the field more rapidly, will be published and demonstrated based on a rigorous review and selection process. Submissions are especially encouraged that demonstrate the amalgamation of papers and code-content that goes beyond the range of traditional print journals.
The web site itself is also available to interested researchers as a test site for developing and refining Semantic Web technologies and for conduction of user studies (please contact the Online Editor-in-Chief for further information).
The Journal of Web Semantics includes, but is not limited to, the following major technology areas:
- The Semantic Web
- Knowledge Technologies
- Ontology
- Agents
- Databases
- Semantic Grid and Peer-to-Peer Technology
- Information Retrieval
- Language Technology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Knowledge Discovery
- Web Standards
Major application areas that are covered by the Journal of Web Semantics are:
- eBusiness
- eCommunity
- Knowledge Management
- eLearning
- Digital Libraries
- e-Science
Each of these areas is covered by an area editor who supports the editors-in-chief. Furthermore, area editors manage the review process for submitted papers in the respective areas.
Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
Submission of your manuscript is welcome provided that it, or any translation of it, has not been copyrighted or published and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with instructions given in the "Guide for Authors" (available from the Publisher), details of which are given below.
There is a free hardcopy of the volume available to corresponding authors by the end of the year.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as swift and efficient as possible. These notes may be copied freely.
Submission of manuscripts
Authors are requested to submit their original papers using the submission website. To submit your paper online, please go to http://ees.elsevier.com/jws. Authors interested in online submission are requested to go to the website and upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. The PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed.
For any further inquiries please contact one of the following editors in chief:
General Author Instructions
Manuscripts should be typed in a single column, with wide margins. Each paper should be introduced by three to five keywords as well as by a selfcontained abstract of no more than 100 words not counting the formulas. It should also include references. All pages should be numbered consecutively. The cover page should be a title page stating: title, author(s), affiliation(s), the mailing address, fax number and email address of the corresponding author. Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors. Footnotes should be avoided as much as possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively. References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5].

Figures should be suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. They should be large-size originals, drawn in India ink and carefully lettered, or should be produced using professional quality graphics software and a laser printer. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.
Figures should have an Arabic number and a caption.
Tables must be typed on separate sheets and should have a short title and an arabic number. In the main text, figrues and tables must be referred to as: see Fig. 1, or Figs. 2 and 3; Table 1, etc.
Keyword Instructions
Please add one to five keywords to your article. Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index, which will both appear on the Internet and be printed in the last issue of each volume and in cumulative indexes. To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up:
- Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Often words like "and" or "of" should be avoided.
- Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list. Examples to avoid are "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords as a whole describe the outlines of the article.
- Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic". Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.e. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically").
- Avoid the use of abbreviations as much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use "computer aided design" instead of "CAD").
Although these guidelines are not mandatory, they should be adhered to where possible.
Author Benefits
- No page charge is due.
- The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
- There is a free hardcopy of the volume available to corresponding authors by the end of the year.
- 30% discount on all Elsevier books.
