Journal of Computers and Applied Science Education (JCASE) is an international open-access and refereed academic journal dedicated to publish theoretical, application-oriented, and the latest advancements on all aspects of computers and applied science education. The submission implies that it has not been published before or it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Publication of submissions will be made after peer-reviews, within four months of receipt. Accepted articles will generally be published within one year thereafter.

Perspective authors can submit their manuscripts online at: http://www.jcase.org/ Submissions should be in PDF format. Should there be any assistance to the authors, please inform the JCASE Editorial Office by email: jcasetaiwan@gmail.com.
