The Journal of Agricultural Information Sciences and Technology (JAIST) is a scientific-extensional publication that has been publishing bi-quarterly at the Agricultural Ceter for  Information Science and Technology (ACIST) since the beginning of 2017. JAIST publishes extensional findings in the fields of agricultural information, agricultural information science and technology, management issues of libraries and agricultural information centers, and agricultural intelligence.
