Aims & Scope

  1. Mission and Aims

    The Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Computing and Information Technology Sciences (JKAU-CITS) is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal published by the Scientific Publishing Center at King Abdulaziz University. The journal is dedicated to advancing scholarship in the digital era by publishing high-quality research on the theoretical foundations of information and computation, as well as practical techniques for their application in computer science and engineering.

    We aim to serve as a trusted platform for researchers, academics, and professionals to disseminate innovations that contribute to significant progress in the field. The journal specifically encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between theoretical science and real-world application.
