The Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy accepts papers on a wide range of topics related to technology and services that support the digital economy and digital society.

Submissions should be original, unpublished work, and should not be under review elsewhere. Published papers in ICDEc proceedings should be extended at least by 50%. Papers should be written for readers who are educated and well informed but are not necessarily expert in the relevant field of research.
