• Journal of Visualization: japan.

Visualization is an interdisciplinary imaging science devoted to making the invisible visible through the techniques of experimental visualization and computer-aided visualization. The scope of the Journal is to provide a place to exchange information on the latest visualization technology and its application by the presentation of latest papers of both researchers and technicians. The Journal will be published in full color in order to realize its mission of promoting a better understanding of complex phenomena.

• Information Visualization is a central forum for all aspects of information visualization and its applications.
• Journal of Flow Visualization and Image Processing: is a quarterly refereed journal that publishes original papers to disseminate and exchange the knowledge and information obtained through research on the principles and applications of flow visualization techniques, including flow image processing. Its purpose is to promote academic and industrial advancement and improvement of the techniques internationally. This journal presents a wealth of practical information covering all areas in science, technology, and medicine for engineers, scientists, and researchers in industry, academia, and government.
