Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.

User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of novel and significant original research results about interactive computer systems that can adapt themselves to their users, and on the design, use, and evaluation of user models for adaptation. The journal publishes high-quality original papers from, e.g., the following areas: acquisition and formal representation of user models; conceptual models and user stereotypes for personalization; student modeling and adaptive learning; models of groups of users; user model driven personalised information discovery and retrieval; recommender systems; adaptive user interfaces and agents; adaptation for accessibility and inclusion; generic user modeling systems and tools; interoperability of user models; personalization in areas such as; affective computing; ubiquitous and mobile computing; language based interactions; multi-modal interactions; virtual and augmented reality; social media and the Web; human-robot interaction; behaviour change interventions; personalized applications in specific domains; privacy, accountability, and security of information for personalization; responsible adaptation: fairness, accountability, explainability, transparency and control; methods for the design and evaluation of user models and adaptive systems

Behaviour & Information Technology (BIT) puts people before technology. As such it deviates from other related journals. It is the primary scientific venue for peer-reviewed publications on human-centred IT. BIT reports original research studies, practical case studies, and thoughtful articles on: • usability and user experience (UX) • human computer interaction (HCI) • human-centred and user-centred design • the social, business and human aspects of the digital world. The Journal attracts authors and readers from a variety of disciplines (e.g., usability, user experience, psychology, ergonomics, computer science, and sociology), originating from both academics and industry. All papers are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, will undertake rigorous double blind peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.

Cybernetics and Systems aims to share the latest developments in cybernetics and systems to a global audience of academics working or interested in these areas. We bring together scientists from diverse disciplines and update them in important cybernetic and systems methods, while drawing attention to novel useful applications of these methods to problems from all areas of research, in the humanities, in the sciences and the technical disciplines. Showing a direct or likely benefit of the result(s) of the paper to humankind is welcome but not a prerequisite. We welcome original research that: -Improves methods of cybernetics, systems theory and systems research- Improves methods in complexity research- Shows novel useful applications of cybernetics and/or systems methods to problems in one or more areas in the humanities- Shows novel useful applications of cybernetics and/or systems methods to problems in one or more scientific disciplines- Shows novel useful applications of cybernetics and/or systems methods to technical problems- Shows novel applications in the arts

Kybernetes is the official journal of the UNESCO recognized World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (WOSC), and The Cybernetics Society. The journal is an important forum for the exchange of knowledge and information among all those who are interested in cybernetics and systems thinking. It is devoted to improvement in the understanding of human, social, organizational, technological and sustainable aspects of society and their interdependencies. It encourages consideration of a range of theories, methodologies and approaches, and their transdisciplinary links. The spirit of the journal comes from Norbert Wiener's understanding of cybernetics as "The Human Use of Human Beings." Hence, Kybernetes strives for examination and analysis, based on a systemic frame of reference, of burning issues of ecosystems, society, organizations, businesses and human behavior.
