<p class="MsoNormal">The Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) publishes high quality contributions to the global IS discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AJIS now also publishes Research Notes. A Research Note is an article giving a brief description of an IS Topic or breakthrough idea. It may also refer to the modification of a methodology, method or associated tool. It should be timely
and of interest to AJIS readers. Research notes provide an outlet for publication of information that is relevant and important, but may lack spatial or temporal replication. It should be no more than 2,500 words, and can include two figures or tables. It
should have at least eight references. Research notes will also be sent for peer review. Research notes are not designed to serve as an outlet for publication of research that lacks appropriate scope or is better suited for other outlets.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AJIS has been published since 1993 and is developing a history. AJIS appears in the Index of Information Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business
Deans' Council.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current Editor-in-Chief is John Lamp, who can be contacted at
