The Journal of Technology in Human Services explores the potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) across the social, development, and human services sectors. This journal illuminates the intersections of the evolving infosphere, including how human beings interact with data and devices and the impacts these innovations have on the full range of individual, organizational, and social structures. We publish work that is conceptual in nature in addition to research reports and meta-analyses.
