Q1.5) How does the selection process for the Journal of Computational Science (JoCS) work?
A1.5) After the conference, the top conference papers are invited to submit extended versions to the special issue of the Journal of Computational Science – JoCS. Each workshop nominates one paper for this special issue; additionally, the top 10% of the Main Track papers are pre-selected based on the reviewers’ reports and recommendations. Then the conference organizers, together with the JoCS Editorial Board, select the papers that best fit the journal. For the 2016 edition we published 23 papers: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/18777503/20?sdc=1
