Aims and scope
Discover Internet of Things is part of the Discover journal series committed to providing a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage. It is an open access, community-focussed journal publishing research from across all fields relevant to the Internet of Things (IoT), providing cutting-edge and state-of-art research findings to researchers, academicians, students, and engineers.
Discover Internet of Things is a broad, open access journal publishing research from across all fields relevant to IoT. Discover Internet of Things covers concepts at the component, hardware, and system level as well as programming, operating systems, software, applications and other technology-oriented research topics. The journal is uniquely interdisciplinary because its scope spans several research communities, ranging from computer systems to communication, optimisation, big data analytics, and application. It is also intended that articles published in Discover Internet of Things may help to support and accelerate Sustainable Development Goal 9: ‘Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation’.
Discover Internet of Things welcomes all observational, experimental, theoretical, analytical, mathematical modelling, data-driven, and applied approaches that advance the study of all aspects of IoT research.

Content Types
Discover Internet of Things welcomes Research, Reviews, Perspectives, Comments, Brief Communications, Case Studies, Registered Reports, and Data Notes from across the full range of disciplines concerned with IoT research. The journal also publishes guest edited Topical Collections of relevance to all aspects of IoT research to allow readers to quickly identify research on subject areas of especial interest to them. For more information, please follow up with our journal publishing contact.
In addition to specific themed Collections reflecting the latest developments in IoT research, the Journal focuses on three types of contributions: forward looking and/or speculative pieces that may be opinionated but should remain balanced and are intended to stimulate discussion and explore new approaches, rapid publication of early research results, and case studies/examples of how novel research has been followed through to implementation.
