“Free, fast, for all, the Journal aims to promote accessibility of research to academics and industry researchers across the world,” says the ITU Journal’s Editor-in-Chief, Ian F. Akyildiz.
“The publication is free of charge for both readers and authors, highlighting the true sense of the term, ‘open access’,” says Akyildiz. “Our objective is to become the premier international forum for addressing all aspects of evolving and future technologies in the telecommunications field.”

The ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies provides complete coverage of all communications and networking paradigms.
Five upcoming special issues will address Bio-NanoThings for healthcare, Internet of Everything, Terahertz communications, AI and machine learning for 5G, and wireless communication systems beyond 5G.
The ITU Journal is the latest initiative to contribute to the growing strength of ITU’s relationship with academia.
“In contributing to the Journal and the work of ITU, leading minds in science and engineering are providing decision-makers in the public and private sector with unique insight into the latest developments in ICT and prospects for future innovation,” said ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao.
ITU Kaleidoscope academic conferences share research into topics of growing strategic relevance to ITU membership. ITU Academia members participate alongside policymakers and industry-leading engineers in ITU expert groups responsible for radiocommunication, standardization, and development.
“Contributions from research communities bring greater strength to the work of ITU, and participation in ITU helps these communities to increase the impact of their research,” said Chaesub Lee, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.
The first issue of the ITU Journal shares unique contributions to research in signal processing and communications in high-mobility scenarios, the Internet of Things, vehicular communications, pandemic mitigation, and AI and machine learning for 5G and beyond. It also discusses the evolution of infrastructure sharing and why sharing has become a commercial reality in the 5G context.
