I am a PhD with a broad knowledge in the above subjects and would like
to do some reviewing work for scientific journals in the area of
machine learning, data mining, neural networks, statistical pattern
recognition ...

The journal should be in English or German, US or Europe based,
preferably associated with a large professional association like IEEE.
Additionally, I would also like to write articles for more popular
magazines/newspapers which try to introduce the above topics to a
broader audience.

Therefore I would like someone to do the following:

    Compile a list of potential journals/magazines/papers with a brief
description of the topics they cover and what their policy is
regarding reviewing/authorship (web site, necessary credentials,
required application documents).

Thanks

Hagen

hagen...

It may help to clarify whether you would be interested in 
reviewing for journals which are online-only, as well as
hard-copy journals, magazines, etc...

Clarification of Question by hagen-ga on 19 Aug 2002 23:35 PDT

both, hard-copy and online. As examples for scientific magazine come
to mind:

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing

Under the more 'popular' magazines I count those available in book
stores:
computer science magazines (PC magazine...) basically trade journals,
financial magazines (futures, Technical Analysis of Stocks and
Commodities...) or more general such as Science, Nature or even Time,
NY Times.

Hi, 

I've searched out several levels of Journals and Magazines, some on
line, most have paper and e-zine type publications. You may find like
I did that the higher end ones are the best to write for, but the
least payment comes from them, where as the bottom of the barrel is
the exact opposite. This top one and several others on here come from
a publisher in the UK Elsevier Science Ltd, which have many other
journals and will probably be a great place to start. With as much as
they put out they have to need good reviewers as well as writers.

Writers Guidelines can be found on the websites or by simple request
to the general email address box for the publications. Normally you
would put in the subject "Writer Guideline Request" many of these
publications have auto-responders these days that will send them right
off too you, and if this is not the case, the email gets forwarded to
the person handling them much faster.

A small personal note here, since you are starting off in the
commercial areas, follow the guidelines to the letter. 75% of
submissions are dropped into the circular file simply because the
margins are too narrow or some other small printing error. I'm not
kidding, I've worked with several editors and they go through large
piles of submissions rather quickly simply by chucking the ones that
don't follow the guidelines. You seem like a really intelligent guy so
you probably won't have this problem, but I thought I would mention it
anyway.

I've put some "less than" publications near the bottom, just because I
wanted you to have as much as possible.

The Journal of Functional and Logic Programming (JFLP) is the first
electronic journal to feature peer-reviewed scholarship on functional
and logic programming. It is especially concerned with the integration
of these two paradigms as well as their common foundations.

This electronic journal publishes papers in the following areas:
research in functional and logic programming; integration of
functional languages, logic languages, and constraint systems;
theoretical foundations and semantics; interpretation, compilation,
and transformation techniques; static analysis for functional and
logic programs; calculi for functional, logic, and constraint
programming; and declarative programming concepts and methodology.

Hi again, 

I saw your clarification just now, didn't spot it when I had the
question locked and it occurred to me that you would probably find the
service at Writer's Market a good tool to use until you get a handle
on all the in's and out's of the business. This is a data base of just
about every magazine and book publisher out there, though the online
is not as extensive as the printed version, its only something like
$2.99 a month, and I use it all the time.

Like I said the high in Journals I gave you in the answer portion
aren't in there, but a lot of the more "popular" magazines and
newspapers are, complete with guidelines and contact information. Very
good resource when starting to get published.

Thanks so far. The link to elsevier and the DM Review is useful. The
other links seem to be for magazines with a bit more philosophical or
even social touch.

I'd like to start with reviewing papers about applications or a new
approache/technique to solve an old problem in the above areas.
Ideally, it should have practical relevance for the industry suhc as
using neural networks in finance, marketing, social studies, medicine,
engineering and so on.

In fact, the comment at the bottom this page shows some more relevant
journals. I'd just like to have kind of a table listing the type of
the journal, how easy it is to become a reviewer there, so that I can
concentrate on a few. Also a list of requirements would be useful
since that could simply rule me out from the start or if they have a
long waiting list or sth like that. May be there is also a web site
somewhere which supports this kind of writing with guidelines and
rules?

I also don't mind to have a bigger list for the less scientific but
more popular magazines like the once I mentioned above.

The only way to get this information is to choose from some of these
lists provided to you and send them an email asking for their current
qualifications. These qualifications and writers guidelines change all
the time, so posted information is not always up to date. Are you
suggesting that I do this and post their replied emails here for you?
If that is the suggestion then I would like to know how many you feel
is necessary to fulfill your needs?

I've sent emails to each of these, asking for writers guidlines and
tech reviewer requirements. I'll post them as soon as I hear back.

I'll add some data which might also assist you in your search.
Here's a Google directory of AI/Neural network links:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Neural_Networks/Publications/Journals/

And here's a search I found productive:

"machine learning" OR "data mining" OR "neural networks" OR
"statistical pattern recognition" + journal
