The growth in all aspects of research in the last decade has led to a
multitude of new publications and an exponential increase in published
research. Finding a way through the excellent existing literature and
keeping up to date has become a major time-consuming problem. Electronic
publishing has given researchers instant access to more articles than ever
before. But which articles are the essentials one that should be read to
understand and keep abreast with developments of any topic?

To address this problem Foundations and Trends® in Web Science will publish
high-quality survey and tutorial monographs of the field using modern
techniques to enable both instant linking to the primary research in its
electronic form and affordable paper copies, finally delivering on the
promise to authors of multiple channel publishing from a single source.

Each issue of Foundations and Trends® in Web Science will comprise a 50-100
page monograph written by research leaders in the field. Monographs that
give tutorial coverage of subjects, research retrospectives as well as
survey papers that offer state-of-the-art reviews fall within the scope of
the journal.
