Contributors to the Journal include industry and government practitioners as well as academics. The Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy covers technical, economic, social, legal and historic aspects of the rapidly expanding worldwide telecommunications industry and the digital economy which it underpins. The Journal aims to put new developments in all these areas into context, to help readers broaden their knowledge and deepen their understanding of telecommunications applications, policy and practice.

Scope

The Journal interprets 'telecommunications' in the broadest sense, so as to include fixed and mobile networks, the Internet, broadcasting, digital content, and operational, regulatory and consumer experience. The 'digital economy' is interpreted as encompassing not just the range of services that can be delivered via telecommunications, but also the digitally enabled society that uses it.

Peer Review Process

Journal History

This Journal continues the traditions of the Telecommunications Journal of Australia (TJA), which was first published in 1935. Essentially the same Editorial Board that produced the TJA from 2007 to June 2013 moved in July 2013 to create our new Journal, the Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy.  In 2019, the Journal was renamed to the Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy, in recognition of its wider international scope.
