Talk:Journal of the ACM

importance?
This article is 4 years old and is still in this sad shape. Is this notable enough to be an article? Or should it be deleted?

I hate to see anyone's effort go to waste but there may not have been much effort put into this.

 * It is the best general-purpose journal in computer science. It certainly is notable enough to be an article. More effort would not go amiss. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:57, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * This is why discussion is good. I talked with someone and have now changed my mind.  This is not some obscure, worthless journal.  It is over 50 years old and has overseen the period where computer science has transformed society.  This article just needs a little work, that's all. User F203 (talk) 17:08, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Leading professional ...???
I'm doubted.

Look at the following http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&q=allintitle%3A+validation&as_publication=Journal+of+the+ACM&btnG=Search

and

Try searching for articles in ACM instead, and you will find results. "Communications of the ACM" is another alternative. The magazine was generally called only ACM, but the subtitle seems to have changed over time. And it is without doubt the most prestigious magazine about computer algorithms in the world. Its notability is very solid. The reason why this article is so short is that those who read ACM do not think Wikipedia has reached enough notability to write in it.There was a period during the height of the cold war when Soviet algorithm specialists were not allowed to publish articles in ACM, or read it, because the magazine was considered a matter of strategic importance. This period ended after a few years because the Soviet readers read it anyway and their competence was needed to keep the standard of ACM as the most advanced magazine about computer algorithms. See the article [Association for Computing Machinery] for more about ACM and its publications and web sites. Roger491127 (talk) 18:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
