9.1. PUBLISHING ACTIVITY Journal of Telecommunications and Informa- tion Technology (JTIT) is a periodical published The Institute is a publisher of two printed pe- quarterly in English. It comprises original con- riodicals (with electronic copies on www) as tributions, dealing with a wide range of topics described below. related to telecommunications and information technology. All papers are subject to peer review. Topics presented in the JTIT report on primary and/or experimental research results, which advance the base of scientific and technological knowledge about telecommunications and information technology.

JTIT is dedicated to publishing research results which advance the level of current research or add to the understanding of problems related to modulation and signal design, wireless communications, optical communications and photonic systems, voice communications devices, image and signal processing, transmission systems, network architecture, coding and communication theory, as well as - infor mation technology.

The Journal is indexed, among others, by: SCOPUS, INSPEC, ProQuest.

In 2016, four issues of the periodical were published, containing 52 scientific papers in
