I would like to know if anybody knows this publisher/journal: **Transactions on Engineering and Computation Sciences**. They are based, it seems, in the UK and seem interested in a paper that I have written together with Lenore Mullin. But I am hesitant to simply jump ahead. ---

**Transactions on Engineering and Computation Sciences** seems not to exist. There is a journal **Transactions on Engineering and Computing Science** published by the Gnoscience Group. It started in 2020. When I looked at its website this morning (27 Feb 2026 NZ daylight time 13h ahead of UT) the current issue had 3 items published in 2023 and none in 2024 or 2025. ---

Thanks for looking into this. Odd. I will have to check the exact name then. But it does seem less than reliable. ---

No. However if it is a recurrent journal - then it should have an ISSN number. Similar to the ISBN for books, the string differs if it is about a publication _in print_, or one which is _electronic_. For instance the _Journal of the American Chemical Society_ uses `0002-7863` and `1520-5126` - if its publications are cited, it will show up indexed as a known source (e.g., ACS’ [CASSI](https://cassi.cas.org/about.jsp)); or in subscription based literature databases like Clarivate’s [Web of Science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_Science), Elsevier’s [Scopus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopus), etc. _if_ in scope of the database and considered important enough. A research librarian can help to identify a suitable database. ---

Hm, I found this site: [Vol. 14 No. 01 (2026): Transactions on Engineering and Computing Sciences | Transactions on Engineering and Computing Sciences](https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/TMLAI/issue/view/596). It seems to be the journal in question though there are a lot of entries in the Google search that are very similar. ---

The ISSN leads to an entry on [worldcat.org](https://search.worldcat.org/title/1381126277), which in turn links to the [British Library](https://catalogue.bl.uk/nde/fulldisplay?query=Transactions%20on%20Engineering%20and%20Computing%20Sciences&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&searchInFulltext=false&vid=44BL_MAIN:BLL01_NDE&lang=en&docid=alma990210560010109251&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&context=L&isFrbr=false&isHighlightedRecord=false&state=), stating they picked up with issue 1 of volume 11 of 2023. Though – why still the question marks regarding the publisher and the publisher’s address (given BL would be the legal deposit library in charge), while e.g., [your book](https://catalogue.bl.uk/nde/fulldisplay?query=arjen%20markus%20Fortran&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&searchInFulltext=false&vid=44BL_MAIN:BLL01_NDE&lang=en&docid=alma990160445640109251&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&context=L&isFrbr=false&isHighlightedRecord=false&state=), or the one by [Mike Metcalf et al.](https://catalogue.bl.uk/nde/fulldisplay?query=metcalf%20modern%20fortran%202023&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&searchInFulltext=false&vid=44BL_MAIN:BLL01_NDE&lang=en&docid=alma990214029030109251&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&context=L&isFrbr=false&isHighlightedRecord=false&state=) carry a complete card? Maybe their helpdesk knows more. ---

Thank you for this confirmation. When I tried finding it earlier with ISSN, I got a message that ISSN was under maintenance. The publisher in question, scholarpublishing, is a new one to me. But apparently, it is a legitimate enough journal.
