Types of Contributions
JITSE considers the following types of scholarly contributions:
All submissions must demonstrate appropriate research methodology, sufficient scholarly contribution, ethical research conduct, and clear relevance to the journal's focus and scope.
Out of Scope
JITSE does not normally consider manuscripts that:
- fall outside the fields of information technology, information systems, computer science, software engineering, or systems engineering;
- are purely descriptive without sufficient scholarly or methodological contribution;
- primarily promote commercial products, services, or proprietary technologies;
- lack adequate research methodology or supporting evidence;
- have no clear relationship to the journal's stated focus and scope.
Editorial Scope Assessment
The editorial team conducts an initial scope assessment of every submitted manuscript. Manuscripts that do not sufficiently align with the journal's focus and scope may be rejected at the editorial screening stage without external peer review.
Interdisciplinary Research
JITSE particularly welcomes interdisciplinary research in which information technology or systems engineering represents a substantive component of the research design, methodology, analysis, implementation, or technological contribution.
The journal seeks to promote research that connects technological innovation with real-world challenges and contributes to the development of reliable, ethical, secure, sustainable, and impactful digital systems.
