《人工社會與社會模擬學報》是一本利用計算機模擬探索和理解社會過程的跨學科期刊。自1998年創(chuàng)刊以來，它一直是世界上對社會模擬和計算機模擬在社會科學中的應用感興趣的讀者的領先參考。歡迎對《社會模擬》雜志旨在通過計算機模擬進一步探索和理解社會過程的目標范圍內(nèi)的社會模擬和代理社會各方面的原始研究論文和批判性評論。該雜志由歐洲社會模擬協(xié)會(ESSA)所有，每季于1月底、3月底、6月底和10月底在萬維網(wǎng)上出版，網(wǎng)址是:http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS.html。雜志的在線性質(zhì)保證了大量的讀者，包括多媒體內(nèi)容，如動畫、彩色圖表和文章工具箱，豐富了論文的可讀性和可用性。該雜志收集讀者人數(shù)統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)。該雜志包括研究論文和書評。所有的文章都要經(jīng)過嚴格的同行評審。書評部分的目的是讓讀者了解該領域最新的書名，并對任何涉及與社會模擬相關問題的書籍進行評論(詳情請聯(lián)系書評編輯)。《華爾街日報》偶爾會在一個“特別版塊”出版關于重點主題的研討會和會議記錄。一般來說，特別部分的審查和編輯工作是由講習班或會議組織者與期刊編輯共同進行的(詳情見這里)。該雜志要求作者提供足夠的信息，使讀者能夠復制所報道的模擬實驗，并希望作者充分利用該雜志允許的在線多媒體可能性(詳情請參閱此處)。雜志的讀者是國際性和跨學科的。它包括研究人員、學者、學生、專業(yè)人員、決策者和軟件開發(fā)人員。

The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation is an interdisciplinary journal for the exploration and understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation. Since its first issue in 1998, it has been a world-wide leading reference for readers interested in social simulation and the application of computer simulation in the social sciences.Original research papers and critical reviews on all aspects of social simulation and agent societies that fall within the journal's objective to further the exploration and understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation are welcome.Owned by the European Social Simulation Association, ESSA, the journal is published quarterly at the end of January, March, June and October on the World Wide Web with free access at the address: http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS.html. The online nature of the journal guarantees a large audience and the inclusion of multi-media content, such as animations, coloured charts and an article toolbox, enrich the readability and the usability of the papers. The journal collects readership statistics.The journal includes research articles and book reviews. All articles are subject to rigorous peer review. The book reviews section aims to keep the reader up-to-date about new titles in the field and to review any book that covers issues relevant for social simulation (for detail, contact the book review editor).The journal occasionally publishes the proceedings of workshops and conferences on focused topics in a 'special section'. Generally, the reviewing and editing of the special sections are undertaken by workshop or conference organisers in conjunction with the journal editor (for details see here).The journal requires authors to include sufficient information to enable readers to replicate reported simulation experiments and expects that authors take full advantage of the on-line multimedia possibilities allowed by the journal (for details see here).The audience of the journal is international and inter-disciplinary in scope. It includes researchers, academicians, students, professionals, policy makers, and software developers.
