Scope

• The stated aim is to publish original, high-quality and application-oriented research papers that show new trends in and options for the use of information and communication technology in industry, that link or integrate different technology fields in the broad area of computer applications for industry, and that link or integrate different application areas of that technology in industry该刊既定目标是发表原创、高质量且应用导向的研究论文，须展示信息与通信技术在工业应用中的新趋势与新选择，联结或整合工业计算机应用这一广泛领域内的不同技术领域，并联结或整合工业中信息与通信技术的不同应用领域。
• It names the unique application of information and communication technology in business processes such as design, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, physical distribution, production management and supply chain management as the main thrust of the journal, including research on the integration of business process support in enterprise modelling, enterprise resource planning and engineering data management该刊把信息通信技术在设计、工程、制造、采购、实物流通、生产管理与供应链管理等业务流程中的独特应用列为主旨，涵盖企业建模、企业资源计划与工程数据管理等业务流程支持集成的研究。
• It also covers the industrial use of that technology in knowledge-intensive fields such as quality control, logistics, engineering data management and product documentation, and it welcomes work demonstrating the enabling capability of new or existing technologies such as hard real-time systems, knowledge engineering, applied fuzzy logic, collaborative work systems and intelligent agents其范围亦包括该技术在质量控制、物流、工程数据管理与产品文档等知识密集领域的工业应用，并欢迎展示硬实时系统、知识工程、应用模糊逻辑、协同工作系统与智能代理等新技术或既有技术之赋能能力的成果。
• Papers that focus only on information and communication technology or only on a manufacturing process may be judged out of scope, so a submission is expected to connect the technology with an industrial application仅关注信息通信技术本身或仅关注某一制造过程的论文可能被视为超出收稿范围，因此投稿须把技术与工业应用相连接。
• The official journal page advertises the title as supporting open access, which means the authors of an accepted article may pay to release it freely while the subscription edition continues官方期刊页标注该刊支持开放获取，即录用文章的作者可付费将其免费公开，同时保留订阅版。
• In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports it holds the first quartile in Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications with an impact factor rank of 18 out of 185 titles, a percentile of 90.5 and a journal citation indicator rank of 22 out of 185在 2025 年版《期刊引证报告》中，该刊于计算机交叉应用类居第一分区，影响因子排名为 185 种刊中的第 18 位、百分位 90.5，期刊引文指标排名第 22 位。
• Manuscripts are submitted through the publisher's Editorial Manager system and the editorial office address recorded for the title is that of Elsevier in Amsterdam稿件经出版方的（Editorial Manager）系统投稿，该刊登记的编辑部地址为荷兰阿姆斯特丹的（Elsevier）。

History

• The first volume dates from 1979, when 23 items appeared, and the registry still stores their identifiers in the legacy form that carries the year 79 in the DOI该刊首卷始于 1979 年，当年刊载 23 篇文章，登记库至今仍以含 79 年号的旧式（DOI）形式存储这些条目。
• One of the opening papers was a survey of computer aided printed circuit board design in an electronic industry, published in volume one at pages 41 to 58, which set the application-oriented tone of the journal创刊早期的代表性论文之一是第 1 卷第 41 至 58 页刊出的电子工业印制电路板计算机辅助设计综述，奠定了该刊应用导向的基调。^[1]
• Deposited records grow from 23 items in 1979 and 70 in 1981 to 83 in 1985, and the title now carries 4699 registered documents存档记录由 1979 年的 23 篇、1981 年的 70 篇增至 1985 年的 83 篇，目前该刊已登记 4699 篇文献。
• Publication later moved to an article-number model in which every issue forms one volume, so 2025 carried the ten volumes numbered 164 to 173 and 2026 had reached volume 181该刊后改为每刊一期即一卷的论文编号模式，2025 年出版第 164 至 173 卷共 10 卷，2026 年已出至第 181 卷。
• Elsevier is recorded as the publisher of both the 1979 backfile and the current issues, so the journal has kept one unbroken publisher line since its first volume（Elsevier）同时被登记为 1979 年回溯库与当期文章的出版方，该刊自首卷起出版方一脉相承。
• Its impact factor was 7.635 for 2021 and 11.245 for 2022, then 9.1 for 2024 and 10.0 for 2025其影响因子 2021 年为 7.635，2022 年为 11.245，2024 年为 9.1，2025 年为 10.0。
