About Computation

Aims

Computation (ISSN 2079-3197) is an international open access journal of computational science and engineering. It focuses on publishing regular research papers and reviews.

The aim of Computation is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. Full experimental details should be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:

• manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
• computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material
• manuscripts concerning summaries and surveys on research cooperation and projects (that are founded by national governments or others) provide information for a broad field of users

Scope

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Computational biology:
• bioinformatics
• mathematical modeling, simulation and prediction of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences, structure and functions
• mathematical modeling of pathways and genetic interactions
• neuroscience computation including neural modeling, brain theory and neural networks
• Computational chemistry:
• new theories and methodology including their applications in molecular dynamics
• computation of electronic structure
• density functional theory
• designing and characterization of materials with computation method
• Computational engineering:
• new theories, methodology and the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• optimisation techniques and/or application of optimisation to multidisciplinary systems
• system identification and reduced order modelling of engineering systems
• parallel algorithms and high performance computing in engineering
• Computational social science:
• computational methods in economic modeling and risk management
• computational modeling and simulation of epidemic infectious diseases
• theoretical and applied research on sociological models
• natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics
• computational intelligence in business
• computational methods in management analytics

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
