Applied Ontology

Journal Title：Applied Ontology

Applied Ontology focuses on information content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or knowledge structures. Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason, authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the review process will be tailored to this end. For example, authors of theoretical contributions will be encouraged to show the relevance of their theory for applications, while authors of more technological papers will be encouraged to show the relevance of a well-founded theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will publish papers focusing on representation languages or algorithms only where these address relevant content issues, whether at the level of practical application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it will publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual modeling is clearly established.

应用本体关注最广泛意义上的信息内容。正如副标题所表明的那样，设想了两种广泛的基于内容的研究活动：本体分析和概念建模。前者包括使用严格的哲学或逻辑工具来研究感兴趣领域的性质和结构的任何尝试；后者涉及我们用来模拟世界的认知和语言结构，以及我们为生成有用的计算模型而采用的各种分析工具和方法，例如信息系统方案或知识结构。 Applied Ontology 是第一本在跨学科视角下明确且专注于本体分析和概念建模的期刊。它旨在通过谨慎避免与学科期刊的不必要重复，在科学期刊领域建立一个独特的利基市场。因此，将鼓励作者使用其特定专业领域以外的人也可以理解的语言，并且将为此目的调整审查过程。例如，将鼓励理论贡献的作者展示他们的理论与应用的相关性，同时鼓励更多技术论文的作者展示有充分根据的理论观点的相关性。此外，该杂志将发表专注于表示语言或算法的论文，这些论文只涉及相关内容问题，无论是在实际应用层面还是在理论理解层面。同样，只有在明确确立了对本体分析和概念建模实践的贡献时，它才会发布工具或实施系统的描述。

Applied Ontology创刊于2005年，由IOS PRESS出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖COMPUTER SCIENCE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度>12周，或约稿，影响因子指数0.852，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
