Software: Practice and Experience is an internationally respected and rigorously refereed vehicle for the dissemination and discussion of practical experience with new and established software for both systems and applications.

Articles published in the journal must be directly relevant to the design and implementation of software at all levels, from a useful programming technique all the way up to a large scale software system. As the journal’s name suggests, the focus is on practice and experience with software itself. The journal cannot and does not attempt to cover all aspects of software engineering.

The key criterion for publication of a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other persons engaged in software design and implementation might benefit. Originality is also important. Exceptions can be made, however, for cases where apparently well-known techniques do not appear in the readily available literature.

Contributions regularly:

Provide detailed accounts of completed software-system projects which can serve as ‘how-to-do-it’ models for future work in the same field;

Present short reports on programming techniques that can be used in a wide variety of areas;

Document new techniques and tools that aid in solving software construction problems;

Explain methods/techniques that cope with the special demands of large-scale software projects. However, software process and management of software projects are topics deemed to be outside the journal’s scope.

The emphasis is always on practical experience; articles with theoretical or mathematical content are included only in cases where an understanding of the theory will lead to better practical systems.

If it is unclear whether a manuscript is appropriate for publication in this journal, the list of referenced publications will usually provide a strong indication. When there are no references to Software: Practice and Experience papers (or to papers in a journal with a similar scope such as JSS), it is quite likely that the manuscript is not suited for this journal. Additionally, one of the journal’s editors can be contacted for advice on the suitability of a particular topic.

《软件：实践与经验》是一本国际知名且经过严格审查的期刊，用于传播和讨论系统和应用程序的新旧软件的实践经验。

在期刊上发表的文章必须与软件的各个层面的设计和实现直接相关，从有用的编程技术一直到大型软件系统。正如期刊名称所示，重点是软件本身的实践和经验。期刊不能也不会试图涵盖软件工程的所有方面。

发表论文的关键标准是它做出的贡献可能会使从事软件设计和实现的其他人受益。原创性也很重要。但是，如果某些技术在现成的文献中没有出现，则可以例外。

定期投稿：

提供已完成的软件系统项目的详细说明，这些项目可以作为未来在同一领域工作的“如何做”模型；

提供可用于各种领域的编程技术的简短报告；

记录有助于解决软件构建问题的新技术和工具；

解释应对大型软件项目特殊需求的方法/技术。但是，软件过程和软件项目管理被视为超出了期刊范围的主题。

重点始终放在实践经验上；仅当理解理论将导致更好的实际系统时，才包含具有理论或数学内容的文章。

如果不清楚稿件是否适合在此期刊上发表，参考出版物列表通常会提供强有力的指示。如果没有对《软件：实践与经验》论文（或类似范围的期刊论文，如 JSS）的引用，则稿件很可能不适合此期刊。此外，可以联系期刊的编辑之一，以获取有关特定主题是否合适的建议。
