Engineering *: Information Technology

The Journal of Information Technology (JIT) is a top-ranked journal, focused on new research addressing information, management, and communications technologies as applied to the digital worlds of business, government and non-governmental enterprises. The Journal is especially interested in studies that address emerging technologies and their convergence including SMAC (social media, mobile, analytics, cloud) and BRAID (blockchain, robotics, automation of knowledge work, internet of things and digital fabrication).

Information Technology and Management explores the many different technologies inherent in the field of information technology and their impact on information systems design, functionality, operations, and management. The journal takes a broad view of information systems as systems that not only include machines but human beings as well. As a result, the journal is an important outlet for studies concerning the man/machine interface, human factors, and organizational issues. Moreover, the journal explores the managerial issues and the strategic issues that arise from the management of information technology.

The Journal provides an avenue for scholarly work that researches systems thinking applications, information systems, electronic business, data analytics, information sciences, information management, business intelligence, and complex adaptive systems in the application domains of the business environment, health, the built environment, cultural settings, and the natural environment. Papers examine the wider implications of the systems or technology being researched. This means papers consider aspects such as social and organisational relevance, business value, cognitive implications, social implications, impact on individuals or community perspectives, and the development of solutions, rather than focusing solely on the technology.
