The Journal of Applied Informatics and Technology (JIT) was established under the auspices of the Faculty of Informatics, Mahasarakham University, Thailand. Designed to bridge the gap between theoretical computer science and practical real-world applications, the journal serves as an international platform for researchers, academicians, and practitioners to disseminate high-quality original research and innovation in informatics and applied technologies. Since its inception, JIT has maintained rigorous editorial standards through a double-blind peer-review process.

Key Milestones & Evolution

• Establishment & Initial Scope: Founded in 2017, the journal originally covered six primary areas of interest: Information Technology, Computer Science, Geo-Informatics, Information Science and Management, Digital Media, and Communication Arts. Articles were initially published in both print and online formats under ISSN 2630-094X (Print) and ISSN 2586-8136 (Online).
• Early Publication & DOI Assignment: JIT began assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all published articles starting from its inaugural issue, Vol. 1 No. 1 (2018): January – June. No articles were published in 2019, leading to the launch of Vol. 2 in 2020.
• Transition to Online-Only Format: Starting from Vol. 7 No. 1 (2025), JIT officially transitioned into an online-only publication. Consequently, the journal updated its registered online identifier to ISSN 3088-1803 (Online) starting in 2026.
• Aim & Scope Alignment with Scopus: In 2026, JIT strategically refined its Aim & Scope to align with international Scopus Subject Areas and Categories—specifically Arts and Humanities, Computer Science, Decision Sciences, and Social Sciences. This refinement seamlessly integrates and encompasses the journal's foundational six primary areas of interest within these broader international domains.
• Shift to International English-Only Policy: Effective February 1, 2024, JIT accepted submissions exclusively in English. The journal fully became an all-English publication starting with Vol. 8 No. 1 (2026).
• Adoption of Article IDs: Beginning in 2026, JIT implemented the use of unique Article IDs to replace traditional page numbering for efficient digital indexing and reference tracking.
• Digital Preservation & Ethics: All published articles are preserved via the Thai Journal Online (ThaiJO) system, strictly adhering to the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
