Author Guidelines

This journal has ceased publication with UTS ePRESS. AJICT's new location is: http://www.iqproceedings.org/ojs/ African Journal of Information and Communication Technology invites the submission of technical papers on topics within the scope of the AJICT. As a Journal which informs a wide audience of varying competence and exposure to advanced technical content, authors should particularly pay attention to clarity of presentation and ease of reading. Manuscripts that lack these features will be returned to the author(s) for further attention and could delay their review and subsequent publication. Manuscripts should contain the name, address, phone, fax and e-mail address of all the authors. Attention and care should be given to the organization of the materials so that the contributions are logically ordered with a consistent progression of thought so that the contents of the paper can be understood easily. Equations should be numbered serially. Proofs, calculations and derivation that could derail the flow of thought and reading should be placed in Appendices. Manuscripts should report not only original theoretical and/or experimental work but also easy to follow reviews and tutorial expositions of current industrial and professional relevance. Papers which have been published elsewhere and/or copyrighted or accepted for publication elsewhere will not be considered for publication in the AJICT. Where necessary, exceptions to this rule will be made if and when a particular manuscript is deemed to have only appeared in conference proceedings, Abstracts only or have had only limited distribution.
