A listing of Computer Science related periodicals published in Japan. The list was prepared as a technical report from Arizona's CS Department, and it includes publications by Japanese professional societies, Japanese corporations, and Japanese government laboratories. Many of these periodicals are published entirely in English, while most others give both English and Japanese titles for the articles. About half of the Japanese language periodicals also give English abstracts.
Many Western researchers remain unaware of Japanese developments in computer science.
Although there are many reasons for this, one fundamental problem is that much of the work gets reported in publications widely distributed only within Japan. Some of these publications are entirely in English, and even most Japanese-language journals contain information in English that can serve as useful research leads, such as titles, author names and addresses, and sometimes abstracts. This paper attempts to address part of the problem by listing computer science journals published by various Japanese professional organizations and corporations. The three sections that follow list the journals based on the sponsoring organization. Specifically, Section 2 lists publications by Japanese professional organizations, Section 3 by Japanese corporations, and Section 4 by Japanese government laboratories.
