***The Computer Bulletin's first issue outlines the society’s vision for the two new publications and states:

“The Society proposes to publish a quarterly Journal in addition to a more frequent bulletin; the earlier numbers of the latter, since they contain material directly relating to the past activities of the London Computer Group, will be published as the London COMPUTER Group BULLETIN.”

The Computer Journal, a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering computer science and information systems, is one of the oldest computer research journals in the world. Its first article is ‘Parallel Programming’ by S. Gill.
