Update on JTIE's DOAJ Indexing Status and Appeal Process

Dear Authors, Reviewers, Readers, and Academic Partners,

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Technology Informatics and Engineering (JTIE) would like to provide an official update regarding the journal's indexing status in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

JTIE was previously indexed in DOAJ. However, its indexing status was subsequently withdrawn following publication ethics and compliance concerns involving several other journals affiliated with the same publishing institution.

In response to this decision, JTIE is currently pursuing a formal appeal with DOAJ, requesting a reconsideration of its indexing status and seeking reinstatement in the DOAJ database.

The Editorial Board remains firmly committed to maintaining academic integrity, editorial independence, transparency, and compliance with internationally recognized standards of scholarly publishing.

Throughout the appeal process, all editorial operations, manuscript submissions, peer review procedures, and publication activities will continue as usual. The change in DOAJ indexing status does not invalidate articles previously published by JTIE.

We recognize the importance of indexing recognition for our authors and academic community. Accordingly, we will provide further updates through the journal's official website once an official decision has been communicated by DOAJ.

We sincerely appreciate the continued trust, understanding, and support of our authors, reviewers, readers, and academic partners.
