Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (JSEP)

The Journal of Software: Evolution and Process is a long‑standing, monthly academic journal that serves as a major publication venue in the field of software engineering and software maintenance. Originally launched in 1989 under related titles, the journal has evolved alongside the software engineering discipline, reflecting growing emphasis on how complex software systems are developed, maintained, adapted, and improved over time. The journal publishes high‑quality research articles, empirical studies, surveys, and state‑of‑the‑art papers that provide insights into software processes, software evolution, testing practices, design methodologies, quality assurance, and organisational strategies for managing change. Its scope spans a broad landscape of software development concerns — from theoretical foundations to practical applications in industry and academia. As software systems become more complex and pervasive, addressing evolution and process is critical for ensuring reliability, maintainability, and adaptability. The journal encourages contributions that integrate formal and empirical methods, cross‑disciplinary approaches, and innovative frameworks that enhance understanding of software practices in real‑world contexts. With a rigorous peer‑review process and monthly publication cycle, this journal supports the rapid dissemination of impactful research and fosters ongoing dialogue among researchers, practitioners, and educators in software engineering, maintenance, and process improvement.
