Research Briefs on Information & Communication Technology Evolution (ReBICTE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the advancement and critical examination of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in both technical and societal contexts. Published by the Centre for Continental Network in Eco-Innovation and Research (CCNEIR), a non-profit academic organization, ReBICTE operates under a diamond open-access model with no Article Processing Charges (APCs) for authors.
The journal focuses on the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and impact of information and communication technologies. ReBICTE seeks to publish original, high-quality research that contributes to theoretical foundations, technological innovation, applied systems, and interdisciplinary understanding of ICTs in contemporary society.
ReBICTE places equal emphasis on:
Core ICT theories and engineering innovations
Applied and industrial ICT systems
Emerging digital technologies and architectures
Societal, organizational, and cultural implications of ICT adoption
The journal encourages submissions that bridge the gap between technical rigor and real-world relevance, as well as works that integrate computing with social, economic, and policy perspectives.
ReBICTE welcomes original research articles, short communications, surveys, tutorials, reviews, and mini-books covering, but not limited to, the following areas:
Core Information and Communication Technologies
Information theory, coding, and communication systems
Computer networks, network planning, design, and administration
Internet, web-based platforms, and distributed systems
Data mining, data warehousing, and big data analytics
Cloud computing, edge computing, and scalable architectures
Security, Trust, and Governance

Beyond technical innovation, ReBICTE actively encourages interdisciplinary research examining the social, economic, cultural, and ethical dimensions of ICTs. The journal provides a forum for addressing critical questions such as:
How emerging ICTs reshape social interaction, organizations, and institutions
The role of digital technologies in globalization and local identity formation
Implications of ICT-driven surveillance, privacy, and social control
Effects of ICTs on education, healthcare, work practices, commerce, and governance
Interactions between virtual environments and material, physical realities
Contributions from the social sciences, communication and media studies, cultural and gender studies, alongside computer and information sciences, are particularly welcome where they offer rigorous, evidence-based insights into ICT evolution.
ReBICTE adopts a global, inclusive perspective, welcoming submissions from researchers, professionals, and practitioners worldwide. By operating as a non-profit, no-APC journal, ReBICTE aims to reduce barriers to scholarly communication and promote equitable participation in global ICT research.
All submissions are evaluated solely on scholarly merit, originality, relevance, and ethical compliance, in accordance with internationally recognized publication-ethics best practices.
