About the Journal

The Conference Proceeding Journal is based on the proceedings of the International Conference on Applied Innovations in IT (ICAIIT) — a forum for researchers, development engineers, and practitioners interested in the theoretical foundations and applied aspects of information technology. By publishing in the Conference Proceedings, authors share their findings with a broader audience and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their fields.

Aims and Scope: The journal provides readers with an overview of research methods, data processing, and analysis used in the presented studies, along with in-depth discussion of the main theories underlying information technology research.

April Issue ICAIIT conference held each March in Köthen, Germany. Attendance at the conference is required for authors submitting to this issue.
📘
November Issue Publication-only issue open to all researchers working on topics aligned with ICAIIT's scope. No conference attendance required.
🌍 Special Issues — Partner Conferences

In addition to the regular April and November issues, we publish special issues dedicated to partner conferences from around the world. ICAIIT is actively expanding its international geography and warmly welcomes submissions from researchers and institutions across all countries and regions.

Special issues appear 3–4 times per year and are dedicated to selected international partner conferences. Each special issue undergoes the same double-blind peer review process as regular issues and is published under the same DOI, ISBN, and ISSN identifiers.

2025
3 Special Issues
Three special issues were published in 2025, each dedicated to a distinct international partner conference — including events in Iraq, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Details: Important Dates
2026
4 Special Issues planned
Four special issues are planned for 2026, covering partner conferences from Iraq, Uzbekistan, and other regions. Calls are currently open for several issues. Details: Important Dates
2027

Editorial and Publication Process: The Editorial Board, in cooperation with the Publisher (Edition Hochschule Anhalt), oversees the full editorial and publication workflow, including quality assurance and the assignment of DOI and ISBN identifiers. All accepted papers are properly formatted, edited, and published on the official journal website under the imprint of Edition Hochschule Anhalt, and made available in the Digitale Hochschulbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt (Digital Library of Saxony-Anhalt Universities).
✓ Indexation and Databases

The publication is submitted for indexing in recognised international databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, ROAD, and DOAJ. Proceedings of ICAIIT 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021 were indexed by Clarivate Analytics (CPCI-S / Web of Science). Proceedings of ICAIIT 2018–2025 have been successfully indexed in Scopus.
