Journal of Computer Networks and Communications

Journal of Computer Networks and Communications is an open access journal, now published by Wiley after the Hindawi years, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《计算机网络与通信杂志》是开放获取期刊，早年归 Hindawi 旗下，现由 Wiley 出版，2025 年期刊影响因子 2.4。

Its volumes are numbered by calendar year rather than in sequence, so the 2026 volume is simply volume 2026 and no issue number appears on most records.卷号按公历年编，不做顺序连号，2026 年那一卷就叫 2026 卷，多数记录上没有期号。

Scope

• Wireless and mobile networking is the oldest strand here, covering mobile ad hoc networks, vehicular links and the routing problems that appear once nodes start moving quickly.无线与移动网络是这里最老的一条线，移动自组网、车辆间链路，以及节点一动起来就出现的路由问题都归它。

• Unmanned aerial vehicles get their own share of attention, with swarm consensus, path planning and the relay roles that drones take in search and rescue and in surveillance missions.无人机占自己的一份版面，集群共识、路径规划，以及无人机在搜救和监视任务里承担的中继角色都有人写。

• Fifth and sixth generation work appears in the physical layer of recent papers, from orthogonal time frequency space modulation to multiple antenna and free space optical schemes.第五代与第六代的工作出现在近年论文的物理层，从正交时频空调制到多天线与自由空间光方案都有。

• Security runs through a large part of the list, with post-quantum authentication for industrial devices, intrusion detection, malware propagation and image encryption all represented in the past three volumes.安全占了清单很大一块，面向工业设备的后量子认证、入侵检测、恶意软件传播与图像加密，过去三卷都有实例。

• Privacy is treated as its own research problem, and papers on differential privacy and zero-trust architecture sit beside the cryptographic work rather than inside it at all.隐私被当作独立的研究问题，差分隐私与零信任架构的论文和密码学工作并排，不塞在密码学的筐里。

• Machine learning is not confined to one section, since federated learning, deep reinforcement learning and convolutional models appear in routing, offloading and detection papers alike, often in the same issue.机器学习没有限定在某一栏，联邦学习、深度强化学习与卷积模型在路由、卸载和检测类论文里都出现，常常挤在同一期。

• Cloud, fog and edge computing supply a steady line of submissions, mostly about where to put computation so that latency stays inside what an application can tolerate.云与雾还有边缘计算提供了一条稳定的稿源，讨论的多是把计算放在哪里，延迟才不会超出应用能忍的范围。

• Software defined networking and network function virtualisation are covered as control-plane subjects, taking in flow-rule placement, table optimisation and controller load balancing and failure recovery across multi-tenant deployments.软件定义网络与网络功能虚拟化按控制面题目处理，流表下发、表项优化，以及多租户部署里的控制器负载均衡与故障恢复都在其中。

• Cognitive radio and spectrum sharing get regular treatment, from energy detection over fading channels to relay selection and spectrum allocation in device-to-device networks built on game theory.认知无线电与频谱共享是常规题目，从衰落信道上的能量检测，到以博弈论建模的设备直连网络中的中继选择与频谱分配。

• Sensor networks carry work on clustering, data aggregation and energy harvesting, with the firefly algorithm and coalition games turning up as tools for choosing cluster heads and routing.传感器网络承载分簇、数据聚合与能量采集的稿件，萤火虫算法和联盟博弈常被拿来选簇首和定路由。

• Satellite and terrestrial segments are treated together in overview papers, which is where the hybrid network reviews and the reflective surface studies tend to appear at present.卫星段与地面段在综述里放在一起谈，混合网络综述和反射面研究目前多出现在这一类稿子里。

• Reliability and performance modelling is a standing topic of the journal, with Markov models, outage probability analysis and quality of experience metrics used to compare competing designs before deployment.可靠性与性能建模是刊物的固定题目，马尔可夫模型、中断概率分析与体验质量指标被用来在上线前比较几套设计。

• Applications reach beyond communications engineering, since environmental monitoring, agricultural sensing, fertility tracking and forest fire detection have all appeared in recent volumes alongside the core network theory.应用越出了通信工程，环境监测与农业传感、生育监测、林火探测在近几卷都出现过，与核心网络理论并列。

• Reviews and systematic surveys form a distinct genre here, running from blockchain-assisted networking through authentication schemes in vehicular networks to the security of firmware updates on connected devices.综述与系统性调查在此算独立的一类，从区块链辅助网络，到车联网认证方案，再到联网设备固件更新的安全。

History

• The earliest Crossref record is from January 2008, on constrained Delaunay triangulation for ad hoc networks, and it fixes the start of the title at that year.Crossref 里最早的记录是 2008 年 1 月的一篇自组网约束德劳内三角剖分，刊物的起点就定在那一年。

• Volume numbers follow the calendar, so the opening volume is 2008 and the current one is 2026, which makes the sequence easy to read at a glance.卷号跟着公历年走，开卷是 2008 卷，眼下是 2026 卷，一眼就能看出年份。

• Hindawi published the journal for most of its life and Crossref still carries that imprint, while the Directory of Open Access Journals now names Wiley in Britain.刊物大半时间由 Hindawi 出版，Crossref 里仍是那个印社名，开放获取期刊目录现在记的则是英国的 Wiley。

• Issue numbers were absent for years, and volumes 2024, 2025 and 2026 each carry a single issue numbered one in the Crossref record that was read for this entry.早年没有期号，2024、2025、2026 三卷在本次读取的 Crossref 记录里各只有一期，期号都写作 1。

• The output has swung widely, from 24 papers in 2018 to a high of 54 in 2019, then down to 15 and 10 in the two years after.发文量起伏很大，2018 年 24 篇，2019 年升到 54 篇的高点，随后两年落到 15 篇与 10 篇。

• The annual counts since then read 18, 10, 21, 10 and 17, and the last of those will certainly rise before 2026 closes at the end of December.此后各年是 18 篇、10 篇、21 篇、10 篇与 17 篇，最后那个数字到 12 月底 2026 年收尾前还会往上涨。

• The whole back file amounts to 430 Crossref works, spread across nineteen calendar volumes, and that sets the scale of what a reader can search in full.整个存档在 Crossref 里计 430 条，横跨十九个公历年卷，读者能全文检索的规模大致如此。

• Open access has been the model since 2011 according to the DOAJ record, and every article carries a Creative Commons attribution licence that allows reuse with credit.按开放获取期刊目录的记载，2011 年起就走开放获取，每篇文章都挂知识共享署名许可，注明出处即可再用。

• The article processing charge is 1,890 US dollars, with equivalents of 1,270 pounds and 1,650 euros listed, and it is payable once a paper is accepted for publication.版面费为 1890 美元，同时列出 1270 英镑与 1650 欧元的对应数额，论文录用后才付。

• Review is single anonymous, so the reviewers know whose paper they are reading while the authors do not learn who judged them at any stage of the process.审稿采用单盲，评审知道手里是谁的稿子，作者在整个流程里都不会知道是谁评的。

• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 2.0 for 2023 to 1.8 for 2024 and 2.4 for 2025, and the five-year figure is 2.3 against 369 citations recorded.影响因子 2023 年为 2.0，2024 年降到 1.8，2025 年为 2.4，五年影响因子 2.3，记录的总被引为 369 次。

• It is third quartile in telecommunications at 86 of 127, on the 32.7nd percentile, and the edition is the Emerging Sources Citation Index rather than the science edition.通信类里它排在第三区，127 种刊中列 86，百分位 32.7，计量所在新兴来源引文索引而非科学版。

• Only seven citable items were counted for the year, so the citation total of 369 and the Journal Citation Indicator of 0.39 rest on a very short denominator.当年只计了 7 篇可引条目，369 次被引与 0.39 的期刊引文指标都建立在很薄的基数上。

Editors

• No standing masthead is deposited with Crossref, so the editorial layer has to be read from the editor field attached to each published paper in the record.Crossref 里没有存常设编委名单，编辑层只能从每篇已发表论文所附的编辑字段去还原。

• Fifty of the most recent two hundred records name one, which suggests the credit is given for the papers that had a named handler at all.最近两百条记录里有五十条写了编辑，说明只有配上具体经办编辑的论文才带这笔署名。

• Giovanni Pau appears most often, on eleven papers clustered in the early 2020s, which points to one editor taking a run of related submissions in a row.出现最多的是 Giovanni Pau，十一篇集中在 2020 年代初，看起来是一位编辑连着处理了一批相近的来稿。

• Debabrata Singh is named on seven papers, most of them from 2025 and 2026, and the subjects run from sensor networks to intelligent monitoring in agriculture.Debabrata Singh 名下有七篇，多属 2025 与 2026 年，题目从传感器网络一路到农业里的智能监测。

• Wanli Wen also handled five, among them a 2024 study of resource allocation in device-to-device links where several agents learn the policy together by reinforcement.Wanli Wen 同样经手五篇，包括 2024 年一项设备直连链路资源分配研究，几个智能体用强化学习共同学习策略。

• Djamel F. H. Sadok names five as well, with 2024 work on detecting and predicting quality-of-service problems in software defined networks among the papers he handled.Djamel F. H. Sadok 也是五篇，经他手的稿子里有 2024 年一篇，做软件定义网络中服务质量的检测与预测。

• Ihsan Ali has four, one of them a 2024 paper on moving fog computing work between cloud and edge so that latency stays low for users.Ihsan Ali 有四篇，其一为 2024 年讨论把雾计算任务在云与边缘之间迁移，让用户端延迟保持低位。

• Some of the names in the record belong to long-established researchers, since Cheng-Xiang Wang, Tarik Taleb, Chadi Assi and Maode Ma each appear on a paper apiece.记录里有些名字属于资深研究者，Cheng-Xiang Wang、Tarik Taleb、Chadi Assi 与 Maode Ma 都在某一篇上各出现一次。
