Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews.

B.      CONTENTS OF VOLUME 11, ISSUE  1, OF THE JOURNAL OF INFORMATION PRIVACY AND SECURITY (JIPS) (PUBLISHED 2-3 MONTHS AGO).

EDITORIAL PREFACE, by Editor of JIPS

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE ON A CHINESE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
Lixuan Zhang, Weber State University, USA
Clinton Amos,  Weber State University, USA
Iryna Pentina University of Toledo, USA

This paper examines drivers of information disclosure on a Chinese social media platform. It is a privacy-related research paper. A privacy calculus theory-based research model is first developed to simultaneously investigate the roles of perceived benefits vs. risks in users’ disclosure behavior. Analysis from data obtained from more than 200 Weibo (a chinese social media) users revealed that perception of benefits is related to information disclosure, while perceived risks do not affect the disclosure behavior. Additionally, while government intrusion concern is significantly related to perceived risk, identification with Weibo community is related to perceived benefits of information disclosure. Interesting questions could be how this model would behave when an U.S. based social media platform is used or a longitudinal study is undertaken.
