[AISWorld] CFP Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) - Special themes

[John Lamp]

AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.

This journal has no author fees, and provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

AJIS is ranked as "A" by ACPHIS and the ABDC

Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches.

Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed.

All manuscripts are assessed by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor.
