ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) is a scholarly, scientific and multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research papers on foundational and innovative research, technologies and policies for the design, use, analysis, engineering, and governance of Internet, Internet scale computing systems, applications, and services. This journal is published on a quarterly basis.

Established in the summer of 2001, the journal has emerged as one of the premier venues in Internet technologies, encompassing computing, data processing, data analytics, data storage, public policy, security, privacy and trust of Internet scale systems, applications, and services.

TOIT brings together many disciplines contributing to Internet systems and technologies, including computer software engineering, computer programming languages, cyber-physical systems, distributed systems, middleware, management of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data, electronic commerce, Internet of audio, video, image and text data systems, performance, scalability, reliability, privacy, security, trust of Internet data systems and services. Social issues and public policy include major ways in which the use of Internet technology may impact the society and people. TOIT welcomes the innovative research outcomes from individual disciplines and from interactions among multiple disciplines.
