Complex Networks 2017 and beyond: moving the methodology paper forward

HI all, I’m back from a restful and nourishing summer break.

The Complex Networks conference is quite close, probably too close in time to write a satisfactory multi-disciplinary paper. I would suggest to go for a journal – and journals are a better target, they win us more points in terms of scientific credibility in our community.

I have looked around to find good journals where to submit:

Social Science Computer Review is one, with a relatively good impact factor. Have a look at the Aims and Scope section. The editorial board is clearly marked USA/UK
Social Media + Society is another possibility also published by Sagepub.
Action Research would also be ok, I guess, since our main application targets public health.
Journal of Computational Social Science seems appropriate. It is to be published in 2018 – which means we might have a better chance of getting in, but in a journal that’s only starting and thus has not been ranked yet.

Sagepub has a open-access policy similar to that of Springer.
