This is a COMPLETE bibliography of the quarterly journal BIT (CODEN BITTEL and NBITAB, ISSN 0006-3835 (print) and 1572-9125 (electronic)), originally published by the Scandinavian Computer Societies, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Publication began with volume 1 number 1 in January 1961 as Nordisk Tidskrift for Informationsbehandling (English: Nordic Journal of Information Processing).
In 1967, the journal was formally renamed BIT, which had been its nickname previously, arising from the journal cover typography with the arrangement
Nordisk Tidskrift for Informations Behandling
with the initial letters B, I, and T set in a larger font, and thus read along the minor diagonal of the matrix as B I T.
In 1994, the journal split into the Nordic Journal of Computing and BIT Numerical Mathematics.
The new journal, BIT Numerical Mathematics, retains the CODEN (BITTEL and NBITAB) and ISSN (0006-3835) of the original BIT. It began with volume 35, number 1, in March 1995, and appears quarterly, in March, June, September, and December. It has a World-Wide Web site at
with tables of contents and author indexes from volume 33 (1993) to date.
In 2005, journal publication moved to SpringerLink, with Web sites for 1999--date (volumes 39--) at

Notice that volumes 37 and 38 (1997 and 1998) are currently missing from the SpringerLink archives. Fortunately, those volumes were already covered by BibTeX entries derived from data at the previous publisher.
From version 3.00 of this file, data from those sources have been merged into the bibliography entries. Regrettably, in dozens of cases, there are unresolved discrepancies between the titles in the original data (most of which were checked against original journal issues), and the new data from SpringerLink. In such cases, fields xxauthor, xxpages, and xxtitle indicate alternative values. Given the number of value string conflicts that were exposed by the merge, and took many hours of tedious editing to partially repair, it is highly likely that the SpringerLink data for volumes 1--36 were re-keyed by highly-error-prone humans who were unfamiliar with the subject matter, and with mathematics.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the online PDF files of any of the articles in BIT, so it will take a significant amount of work, yet to be done, to consult the printed journal issues to determine correct data.
The Nordic Journal of Computing (CODEN NJCOFR, ISSN 1236-6064) is published by Publishing Association Nordic Journal of Computing, Helsinki, Finland. It began with volume 1, number 1, Spring 1994, and appears quarterly. It has a World-Wide Web site at
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/njc/
with pointers to complete tables of contents, abstracts, selected references, and an author index. It is covered separately in a complete companion bibliography, nordic-j-computing.bib.
Despite the journal's Danish name, almost all papers published are in English, with only 23 in early volumes in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, or German, about one percent of the total. English translations are provided for the titles of all such articles in the entries below.
The journal is unusual in that from 1961 to 1994, numbered issues appeared irregularly, and were thus not assigned publication months. Thus, entries in this bibliography only carry month information from 1995.
At version 3.58, the year coverage looked like this:

The initial draft at version 1.00 was extracted from the MathSciNet database and OCLC Contents1st database, and then augmented with entries from the TeX User Group and BibNet Project bibliography archives. This provided data mainly for the years 1978--1998.
At version 1.01, the (only) published multivolume index (1961--1971) was photocopied, scanned and converted to text with optical character recognition (OCR) software, then a great many errors from the OCR were laboriously corrected manually.
At version 1.02, the annual indexes for 1974--1979 were similarly processed and entries merged in and corrected, adding another 235 entries.
At version 1.03, the remaining indexes, for 1972--1973, were processed, adding another 113 entries.
At version 1.04, entries for almost all of the page number gaps were supplied from data obtained from the original journal issues. This added a further 89 entries, including dozens of full articles that were missing from the annual indexes.
At version 2.00, another 189 entries were supplied, mostly for the Errata, Problems, Notes, and New Books and Journals short contributions at the end of each issue, by checking a list of page number gaps in the coverage at version 1.04 against original journal issues. This made the coverage complete.
Entries with addenda, comments, corrigenda, errata, letters to the editor, and remarks on earlier articles contain cross references to entries for those articles. In two cases, these cross references extend to articles in other journals; they are also included here.
Numerous errors in the sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation tags were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted in publication order.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility.
