About Us
UPGRADE is a bi-monthly European e-journal for the informatics professional and academic. It is free of charge and provides an important source of information for experts from across Europe and beyond.
A multitude of authors from around the world submit papers for review and publication in UPGRADE. These authors are world-class experts in their fields, and the papers they produce provide invaluable tools of reference and information for readers interested in informatics and technological developments.
UPGRADE was founded in October 2000 by CEPIS, and is published by the CEPIS Member Society, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática (ATI) in Spain. UPGRADE is now listed in many scientific and professional journal indexes worldwide.
The structure of this e-journal is as follows:
Editorial
The editorial is written by the publisher, the editorial team or by an invited guest on the issue's main theme and provides a view on the topic to be addressed throughout the issue.
Monograph
The monograph contains several articles written by the guest editors, covering a given ICT subject as proposed by the Editorial Team of UPGRADE and approved by the Editorial Board of UPGRADE. The Editorial Team selects recognised experts in the field as the guest editors. The guest editors further define the concept and, through their reputation and professional networks offer subject matter experts the opportunity to submit papers on different areas of the topic.
All the papers in the monograph may be ultimately revised by the Editorial Team of UPGRADE to ensure their relevance to readers. A team of English Language Editors, IT professionals with English as a first language, read and revise the papers if the authors are non-native speakers, to ensure a high quality of language. Before publishing, the papers can be submitted to the authors for final approval, giving them a chance to make last minute corrections and amendments.
