《通用計算機科學雜志》是一本高質量的電子出版物，涉及計算機科學的各個方面。J.UCS從1995開始每月出版，因此是最古老的電子期刊之一。J.UCS有四類論文：（a）研究貢獻：這是規則，大部分論文將在這一領域。只有包含創新成果的論文才能被接受。紙張的長度也必須考慮在內。短紙是可以接受的，創新成果比長紙少。研究貢獻不應與比論文所需更多的“調查類型”材料相結合。請注意，研究貢獻可以是項目的報告，如果項目產生了足夠多的明確說明的創新或新結果。（b）注釋：通常是單一但有趣的新想法、結果或創新的簡短研究貢獻。（c）調查：通常是較長的論文，通常不包含任何或多個原創研究，而是根據其是否寫得好進行判斷，并對所討論的主題進行公正和完整的調查。（d）關于J.UCS的論文：這些論文解釋了J.UCS的改進或變化。在這種情況下，它們可能包含或不包含新材料。他們應該根據他們是否寫得好，是否可以理解，以及J.UCS中的創新特征和變化——人們通常可以嘗試和測試——是否確實對J.UCS社區的某些部分感興趣。

J.UCS - The Journal of Universal Computer Science - is a high-quality electronic publication that deals with all aspects of computer science. J.UCS has been appearing monthly since 1995 and is thus one of the oldest electronic journals with uninterrupted publication since its foundation. There are four categories of papers in J.UCS:(a) Research contributions: This is the rule, and the majority of papers will be in this area. Papers of this category will be accepted only if they contain innovative results. The length of the paper must also be taken into account. A short paper is acceptable with fewer innovative results than a longer paper. Research contributions should not be combined with more "survey type" material than is necessary for the paper. Note that research contribution can be reports of projects, if the project has resulted in sufficiently many clearly stated innovations or new results.(b) Notes: Short research contributions with usually a single but interesting new idea, result or innovation.(c) Surveys: Usually longer papers, do usually not contain any or much original research but are judged on whether they are well written and give an unbiased and complete survey of the topic at issue.(d) Papers on J.UCS: These are papers that explain improvements or changes in J.UCS. In this case they may or may not contain novel material. They should be judged on whether they are well-written and understandable and whether the innovative features and changes in J.UCS -something one can usually try out and test- are indeed of interest to at least some parts of the J.UCS community.
