<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This fifteen years old double blind refereed journal JITCAR focuses on research based on in-depth study of real world cases and applications to explain existing theories and concepts or to
help in building new theories and frameworks. This journal has been of great value to professors, students, researchers and practitioners of IT. JITCAR publishes case and application research articles focusing on any size of organization: start-up, small,
medium, large, or multinational company. These cases and applications can originate from any country in the world: advanced, newly industrialized, developing, or under-developed. Theme of submitted manuscript may pertain to any IT area from artificial intelligence
to electronic commerce to web economics. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Generally, there are three research articles. Occasionally, there will be a Teaching Case article in an issue. Research articles will be based on actual case studies and/or applications studies
utilizing case study, field study, and/or field experiment research methodology – both qualitative and quantitative analysis are acceptable. Each teaching case submission to JITCAR will include three components: the case itself, a summary research note, and
a detailed teaching note. For examples of past published Teaching Case Articles, please contact Editor in Chief Dr. Shailendra Palvia –
