This is a COMPLETE bibliography of The Computer Journal (1958--1999) (CODEN CMPJA6, ISSN 0010-4620 (print), 1460-2067 (electronic)), the journal of the British Computer Society for the decade 1980--1989. The companion files compj1960.bib, compj1970, ..., compj2010.bib contain data for other decades.
The journal was published quarterly from 1958 to 1984, five times a year in 1985, six times a year from 1986 to 1992, eight times in 1993, ten times a year from 1994 to 1997, eight times a year from 1998 to 1999, and six times a year from 2000 to date.
The journal maintains World-Wide Web sites at
http://comjnl.oxfordjournals.org/ http://www.oup.co.uk/comjnl/ http://www3.oup.co.uk/computer_journal/
Those sites offer tables of contents and abstracts for all journal articles. URL values in the bibliography entries below provide pointers to the abstracts, and DOI values point to Web pages specific to each article that can supply abstracts, and full text, to qualified subscribers. Some older articles are freely available.
At version 2.04, the year coverage looked like this:
1979 ( 1) 1983 ( 95) 1987 ( 101)
1980 ( 136) 1984 ( 92) 1988 ( 109)
1981 ( 158) 1985 ( 101) 1989 ( 112)
1982 ( 125) 1986 ( 104)
Article: 1134
Total entries: 1134
Mutual cross references have been provided between articles and letters, so that citing the initial publication will automatically include citations that refer back to it with comments, notes, and errata. The consistency of these cross references has been ensured by a separate utility program.
Algorithm coverage is complete for Algorithms 1--9, 16--33, and 35--128. I have been unable to locate Algorithms 10--15, although there are references to them. Perhaps they appeared in the companion publication, The Computer Bulletin, but were never republished in The Computer Journal, as Algorithms 1--9 were. Algorithm 34 is in volume 11, number 2, pp. 232--235, but the TIFF files for those pages are corrupted. Algorithm number 69 was mistakenly assigned twice: in volume 14, number 2, pp. 213--214, and volume 14, number 4, pp. 444--445. Algorithm 82 was mistakenly unnumbered in volume 17, number 4, pp. 377--378.
The Computer Journal has the pleasant property of using predictable Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) of the form
https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/V.N.P
where V is the volume, N is the issue number, and P is the initial page number. At version 2.00, DOI values based on that observation were supplied in all entries that were previously lacking such data. In addition, all Web pages for 1958--1999 were freshly downloaded and converted to BibTeX, and those new entries were then compared with existing ones. That operation provided many entries that had previously not been recorded in this file. Entries that were already present have been retained with their original bibdate values.
This bibliography was initially built from searches in the OCLC Content1st database. Additions were then made from all of the bibliographies in the TeX User Group collection, from bibliographies in the author's personal files, from the Compendex databases (1970--1996), from the IEEE INSPEC database (1968--1996), from the American Mathematical Society MathSciNet database, from the journal Web sites, and from the computer science bibliography collection on ftp.ira.uka.de in /pub/bibliography to which many people of have contributed. The snapshot of this collection was taken on 5-May-1994, and it consists of 441 BibTeX files, 2,672,675 lines, 205,289 entries, and 6,375 <at>String{} abbreviations, occupying 94.8MB of disk space.
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 labels were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted in publication order, with the help of ``bibsort -byvolume''. The bibsort utility is available from ftp.math.utah.edu in /pub/tex/bib. Care should be taken, however, to avoid resorting existing entries, because of the unusual page numbering introduced with volume 34, number 6, 1991.
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.
