DOI Information

The International Journal of Information Technology and Computing (ITX Journal) assigns a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to every published article to ensure permanent identification, reliable citation, and long-term accessibility of scholarly content.

The DOI system provides a standardized and persistent method for identifying digital research publications and enhancing global discoverability, interoperability, and citation tracking.
