The ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) is a quarterly, open access, peer-reviewed scientific journal on the topic of programming languages published by the Association for Computing Machinery.
It has been used as a model for teaching the peer review process to graduate students because of its "reputation as a top journal within the computer science community".[1]
Background
[edit]Published since 1979, the journal's scope includes programming language design, implementation, and semantics of programming languages, compilers and interpreters, run-time systems, storage allocation and garbage collection, and formal specification, testing, and verification of software. It is indexed in Scopus and SCImago.[2]
The editor-in-chief is Alastair F. Donaldson (Imperial College London).[3] After being ranked as a top-quartile journal in software by SCImago from 1999 to 2016, it has been ranked as second-quartile from 2021 through 2024, with an impact factor of 0.564.[4]
