Dear All,
I made a short analysis of puplications we decided to announce in the
ESSA-Newsletter since May/2011 (all from 2). All articles should deal
with social simulation in some way, and the vast majority of the
analysed papers deals with ABM. Of course, the list does not only
contain "highest status/best known/most cited" jounals. Number of
articles in brackets.
arXiv e-prints (9)
Ecological Modelling (3)
Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory (3)
Systems Engineering Procedia (3)
Applied Energy (2)
Applied Geography (2)
Applied Mathematics and Computation (2)
Automatica (2)

Not included is JASSS since we do not announce it per article but as volume.
Best,
Sascha
