THREE ITEMS:

1.  Editorial Review Board Expansion. 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. We need reviewers from both North America and from other regions
of the world. As a reviewer, you will be assigned no more than 3 papers to
review each year, for which you will need to provide a detailed in-depth
review – about 1-2 single-spaced pages long. 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.
