Behaviour & Information Technology

Behaviour & Information Technology (BEHAV INFORM TECHNOL) is a leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the human aspects of computing and information technology. Published by Taylor & Francis, the journal provides a critical forum for original research that explores the relationship between people, technology, and work, as well as broader societal and organisational contexts. Its scope encompasses a wide range of topics, including human-computer interaction, user experience design, usability engineering, computer-supported cooperative work, the social and ethical implications of digital systems, and the impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and mobile computing on human behaviour. The journal predominantly publishes full-length research articles based on empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and methodological innovations, though it also occasionally features review articles and special issues that synthesise key developments in the field. Targeting an audience of academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in computer science, psychology, information systems, and related disciplines, Behaviour & Information Technology is distinguished by its rigorous peer-review process and its commitment to advancing both theoretical understanding and practical application. A notable feature is its open access publishing option, allowing authors to maximise the visibility and impact of their work. As of 2026, the journal holds an Impact Factor of 4.200 and is ranked in the prestigious Q1 quartile, reflecting its strong standing and significant influence within the fields of information technology and human-computer interaction.
