Reviews and Testimonials

JITR is well positioned to provide dissemination of information regarding breakthroughs in new or little known fields of information technology, as well as important recent developments and applications in existing areas. JITR provides a medium for both scholars and practitioners to publish their research and experimental results.

– Christos K. Georgiadis, University of Macedonia, Greece

The Interdisciplinary approach of JITR can be a remedy to the intellectually deadening effects of excessive specialization.

– Giulio Concas, University of Cagliari, Italy

JITR is the first journal with a focus on the interdisciplinary nature of progress in IT research, which is becoming more and more important: the material science, nanotechnology, and biocomputing aspects accelerate the development of IT, and the medical informatics, anthropocentric computing, adn social implications shape the applications. JITR bridges teh gap between IT development and research in IT applications. It will certainly contribute to shaping the global information society.
