About the Journal

The International Journal of Computing and ICT Research (IJCIR) is an independent biannual publication of Makerere University. The Journal's focus is to highlight new research developments, experiences and best practices in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) across Africa. The Journal publishes papers in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, information systems, data communications and computer networks, ICT for sustainable development, and other related areas.

Submitted work should be original and unpublished current research in computing and ICT based on either theoretical or methodological aspects, as well as various applications in real world problems from science, technology, business or commerce.

Short and quality articles (not to exceed 20 single spaced type pages) including references are preferable. The selection of journal papers which involves a rigorous review process secures the most scholarly, critical, analytical, original, and informative papers. Papers are typically published in less than half a year from the time a final corrected version of the manuscript is received.

Authors should submit their manuscripts in Word or PDF to . Manuscripts submitted will be admitted subject to adherence to the publication requirements in formatting and style.
