Focus and Scope
Journal of Digital Transformation, Computing, and Intelligence (GITCOIN) is a peer-reviewed and open-access scholarly journal that provides a publication platform for researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology and Networking, and Software Engineering.
GITCOIN focuses on the publication of high-quality scientific research that integrates digital transformation, computing technologies, and intelligent systems to address technological, organizational, and societal challenges in the digital era. The journal emphasizes studies related to the data value chain, including data capturing and organization, data summarization and analysis, and knowledge synthesis for insight-based decision-making.
GITCOIN accepts only original research articles that present clear research objectives, appropriate methodology, data analysis or system evaluation, results, and discussion. Manuscripts must provide empirical, experimental, computational, or evaluative research contributions. Literature reviews, conceptual papers, opinion papers, and manuscripts without clear research methods, results, or evaluative contributions are not accepted.
