This file contains a COMPLETE bibliography of the IBM Systems Journal, covering all issues (1962--2008). Besides articles, it includes book reviews, indexes, prefaces, referees, reprints, tables of contents, and complete cross-references between articles and comments on them in addenda, errata and letters to the editor.
There is a 50-th anniversary collection of articles from IBM journals at
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/50th/
In 2008, publication ceased. In 2011, the journal archives were moved from IBM (although IBM employees still have access there) to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library:

My thanks go to Gene F. Hoffnagle, editor of the IBM Systems Journal, who kindly donated copies of Volume 1 (all issues), and Volume 28 (number 3), which were missing from the University of Utah library, allowing completion of the cross-checking of all entries against original journal issues, and completion of our library holdings for this journal.
The initial draft was extracted from the ACM Computing Archive CD ROM for the 1980s, with manual corrections, and additions from the author's bibliography collections, from the American Mathematical Society MathSciNet database, and from a very large 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.
Recent additions have been extracted from
material at WorldWideWeb URL
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal;
unfortunately, that otherwise very useful
resource does not include article page
ranges. This bibliography will be used
to remedy that deficiency.
Version 1.14 saw the addition of a heavily-edited and corrected conversion of 177 new entries from the results of a search in the OCLC Contents1st database. Regrettably, this database does not record final page numbers of journal articles..
At version 2.00, the 356 entries in version 1.17 were merged with 1112 extracted from a bibliography constructed independently from an OCR scan of the 1962--1995 cumulative index, to produce a bibliography which is believed now to be complete. Many hours were then spent checking the bibliography against original journal issues to obtain missing final page numbers which are absent from the above-cited index.
At version 2.05, the results of a search in the IEEE INSPEC (1989--1995) database were merged in, providing some missing abstracts, and some additional key/value pairs.
At version 2.11, a search of the Compendex database for 1970--1989 produced additional information, including abstracts, for 298 existing entries.
IBM has given permission to include article abstracts in bibliographic databases, so these have been provided in some cases. Specifically, their copyright in files at URL http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/ says:
(C) Copyright 1995 by International Business Machines Corporation. See individual articles for copying information. Table of Contents and ``Recent publications by IBM authors'' may be freely copied and distributed in any form. ISSN 0018-8646. Printed in U.S.A.
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, using the ``bibsort -byvolume'' utility.
Abstracts of papers starting with Volume 33 in 1994 are available via the WorldWide Web at URL http://www.ibm.com/, via the node path Research and Technology -> Technical Journals -> IBM Systems Journal. All available abstracts have been included in the entries below.
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.
