Journal-First Papers

Journal-first papers are papers that report completely new research results or present novel contributions that significantly expand upon current literature. These contributions must not have been previously reported in prior work. Journal-first papers can be submitted at any time. 

The TOSEM agreement with ICSE gives authors of journal-first papers the opportunity to present their results at ICSE.

Please submit your journal-first paper through the regular submission site, and select 'Journal-First Paper’ as the manuscript type.
