Focus and Scope

Journal Focus

Newton: Networking and Information Technology, is a scholarly journal focused on the development and application of computer networks and information technology to support connectivity, information management, system security, and digital transformation. The journal serves as a platform for publishing research findings, system developments, and technology evaluations, offering both scientific contributions and practical solutions for the needs of organizations, industries, the education sector, and society at large.

Scope

The journal accepts research articles in the following fields:

1. Computer networks and data communication: Network design and implementation, wireless networks, routing and switching, bandwidth management, Quality of Service (QoS), network monitoring, and network performance evaluation.

2. Network and information system security: IT infrastructure security, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, vulnerability testing, authentication, access control, privacy, and data protection.

3. Information systems and digital transformation: Analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of information systems for education, government, business, public services, and organizational management.

4. Software engineering and application development: Software development methodologies, system architecture, web-based and mobile applications, service and API integration, software testing, and the evaluation of application quality and usability.

5. Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems: Sensor networks, smart devices, monitoring and control systems, device integration with network services, and the application of IoT for various requirements.

6. Artificial intelligence and applied data analytics: The application of machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and data analytics to support information systems, automation, security, and the optimization of networks and digital services.

7. Databases and information management: Database design and optimization, data integration, decision support systems, business intelligence, as well as information management and retrieval.

8. Cloud computing and distributed systems: Cloud infrastructure, virtualization, edge computing, distributed services, as well as the management and performance evaluation of computing infrastructure.

9. Business technology and digital services: E-commerce, digital marketing, electronic transaction systems, digital platform integration, and the development of technologies to enhance service quality and business processes.

Contribution Criteria

Submitted articles must present a clear problem statement, sound methodology, and an evaluation aligned with the research objectives. Research focused on application development should go beyond merely describing the implementation process; it must demonstrate a contribution—for instance, through the evaluation of functionality, performance, security, usability, or the impact of the system's deployment.

Interdisciplinary research may be considered, provided that its primary contribution is directly related to computer networking or information technology.
