About BACIT

The Bulletin of Applied Computing and Information Technology (BACIT) is an open-access online journal with a focus on new and emerging research related to applied computing and information technology. The Bulletin contains a range of articles - double blind peer-reviewed papers, invited papers, views, opinions, reports, book reviews. It is published by the New Zealand National Advisory Committee for Computing Qualifications (NACCQ); its target audience includes academics, students and industry practitioners - based primarily (but not exclusively) in New Zealand, and working in the areas of computing, information technology and information systems.

BACIT is an Open Access Journal, DOAJ # 11764120. Individual authors retain their intellectual property rights. We welcomes submissions from established authors but particularly encourages contributions from new researchers and students, especially from those in postgraduate study who are also employed in the field.

The Bulletin is published in electronic format only, twice a year. Refereed articles are subject to a double-blind review process, involving at least two anonymous reviewers. Reviewer names are published.
