THREE ITEMS:

1.  Editorial Review Board. Given the growing success and popularity of the
journal, our submissions have tripled in the past year and it is
challenging the capacity of the current editorial board.  Therefore we are
expanding the Editorial Review Board and have several vacancies, especially
for scholars from outside USA.  If you have an interest and credentials in
global IT and would like to serve on the Board, please contact the Editor
in Chief at pcpalvia at uncg.edu.  Please include a 100-word bio with your
request.

2.  Call for Papers: Of course, we are always interested in quality
manuscripts from all parts of the world. Besides being high quality work,
at a minimum each submitted article should have the following three
components: an IS 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.). Submissions need to be
made electronically at http://www.editorialmanager.com/ugit

3.  Special Issue:  If you or your colleagues would like to propose a
special issue of JGITM, please contact the Editor in Chief (EIC) with a
proposal.  You will have much guidance and assistance in preparing the
special issue from the EIC.  Each issue typically requires three fully
referred articles, an editorial, a professional interview, and a book
review.  The usual lead time for a special issue is 12-15 months.  The
theme of the special issue must be in global IT, e.g., a topic area or
focus on a world region.
