Publications

Owing to its interdisciplinary nature, research in computational social choice gets published at a very wide variety of venues. This includes, in particular, conference proceedings and journals in AI (such as AAMAS, IJCAI, AAAI, AIJ, JAIR), conference proceedings and journals at the interface of computer science with economics (such as EC, WINE, SAGT, ADT, TEAC), and journals in economics (such as SCW, JET), but occasionally also journals in applied mathematics, logic, political science, and philosophy.

Below we gather information on relevant books, which might offer a particularly convenient entry point into the field, as well as an overview of special issues on topics in computational social choice published in a number of different journals.
