SCOPE
AND COVERAGE:
The journal's scope is multidisciplinary. It
will
publish research and applied articles
from all areas of MIS as well as functional IT applications that have
international focus. The journal will also consider a variety of
methodological
approaches. The journal encourages manuscript submissions from authors
all over
the world, both from academia and industry. In addition, the journal
will also include
reviews of MIS books that have bearing on global aspects. Practitioner
input
will be specifically solicited from time-to-time in the form of invited
columns
or interviews.Besides quality work, at a minimum each
submitted article should
have the following three components: an MIS topic, an
international orientation (e.g., cross cultural studies or strong
international implications), and strong evidence (e.g., survey data,
case studies, secondary data, etc.).
We do not favor any particular research
methodology. Articles may take the positivist or interpretivist
approach, and may use any of the quantitative or qualitative
methodologies.
