SN Computer Science publishes papers in the following categories: Original Research, as well as relevant hardware, and/or software architectures, Survey and Review Articles. All papers are evaluated on the basis of scientific content.  Submissions are first screened for research and publication ethics prior to peer review.  The journal reviews each submission from a sound science perspective. In addition to direct submissions, SN Computer Science also considers papers that have been referred from Springer Nature’s prestigious computer science journal portfolio.

Peer Review Policy of the Journal
SN Computer Science follows a single blind peer review process with a minimum of 2 reviews for each article type. All original articles will undergo single blind peer reviews by two subject experts. Reviewer selection is carried out by the Editor-in-Chief and the Associate Editors from a classified list of invited and consented reviewers, or from experts from their network, who are widely acclaimed, national and international authorities on the subject and registered in the database through the Editorial manager. In case of a split verdict, a 3rd review is sought. Associate Editors assist the Editor in Chief by handling assigned manuscripts and are totally independent and unbiased in their decision making with no conflict of interests. They ensure timely publication of the journal, besides overlooking ethical issues and scientific contents of the journal.
