Astronomy and Computing is a
History
The importance of astronomical software to generating research results has grown, and indeed, much of modern research depends on software.[2] Though occasionally discussed casually, the idea for a journal devoted to computational methods in astronomy was formally discussed at the Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) XX conference in a Birds of a Feather session in 2010, where it was demonstrated that the major astronomy publications are often reluctant to include purely computational articles, though other journals may be more accepting.[3] The publication of computational methods is seen as an important step to bring those who write research software into the academic credit production system.[4]
The development of Astronomy & Computing was presented in 2012 in a poster session at the Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) XXII conference,[5] and the journal's first issue was published in February, 2013.[6]
