`JRN` venue

[smokhov]

@clementfung

I am pulling in a set of useful tags that downstream or sibling forks have used in a forthcoming PR (in furtherance and closure of #66 ). I've noticef @mpc-deadlines have things for journals as venues, not only workshops and conferences:

- name: Journals
  tag: JRN

Do sec-deadlines want things like:

- name: ACM TOPS
  description: ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security
  year: 2026
  link: https://dl.acm.org/journal/tops/author-guidelines
  deadline: ["%y-12-31 23:59"]
  portal: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tops
  comment: Accepts submission throughout the year.
  tags: [..., ..., JRN]
  
- name: IACR CiC
  description: Communications in Cryptology
  year: 2026
  link: https://cic.iacr.org
  deadline: 
    - "2026-02-02 23:59"
    - "2026-04-27 23:59"
    - "2026-07-27 23:59"
    - "2026-10-26 23:59"
  comment: Notification in two months. 
  tags: [..., ..., JRN]

?

I’m not in favor of adding a general “JRN” tag to a deadline tracking site.

Journals typically do not have fixed submission deadlines and instead accept submissions at any time, except for occasional special issues. This makes them fundamentally different from conferences, which are centered around clearly defined deadlines.

Therefore, if we add the JRN tag, it would be more appropriate to limit the scope to conference-like journals such as CHES, ToSC (FSE) that have deadline-driven submission cycles (or an on-site presentation model). Common Journals such as TOPS, TDSC seem not appropriate for this site.
