Announcing the Publication of the Inaugural Issue of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (http://thci.aisnet.org)
As co-Editors-in-Chief of the new journal, AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI), we are proud to announce the publication of its inaugural issue. THCI is located within the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (http://aisel.aisnet.org). To increase awareness and readership, THCI is freely accessible to everyone during its first two years of publication. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website, including how to submit.
================== In this inaugural issue ==================
Editorial One: ---------------------- �Welcome to AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction� By David Avison and Guy Fitzgerald
AIS President and VP of Publications describe the important role of THCI as an integral member of the AIS journal family and credits AIS SIGHCI leaders for the creation of the Transactions series for the AIS.
Editorial Two: ---------------------- �Praise for AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction� By Jane Carey
As the Chair of AIS SIGHCI Advisory Board, Carey provides some brief background of the journal�s roots in SIGHCI, and explains what it takes to launch a high-quality successful journal.
Editorial Three: ---------------------- �A New Era for the Human-Computer Interaction Community� By Eleanor T. Loiacono
Current AIS SIGHCI Chair Loiacono discusses how THCI will serve as an international publication outlet for HCI research conducted around the globe, providing a high number of diverse perspectives.
Editorial Four: ---------------------- �Introducing AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction� By Dennis Galletta and Ping Zhang
We lay out some historical development of the journal, and state the context, editorial philosophy, statements of scope, publication categories, and directions. We acknowledge a large group of people who made this journal possible.
Research Article: ---------------------- �The Reader-to-Leader Framework: Motivating Technology-Mediated Social Participation� By Jenny Preece and Ben Shneiderman
Preece and Shneiderman demonstrate that our concept of �users� has become obsolete in these days of Web 2.0. Networks with user-contributed content contain many types of users, in a hierarchy in ascending order. At the bottom are readers, who absorb the content. The next level involves contributors, who provide some of the content. Some of these move on to become collaborators, who work with others to provide content. Finally, some become leaders, who manage and/or govern the sites. By adopting this perspective, firms and groups can have a richer set of titles and functions, and can better plan for, and manage, electronic communities. We are excited that these fine, established, and well-known scholars chose to submit their paper to THCI and we anticipate that this paper will have a significant and lasting impact on the field.
================== Call for Papers ==================
THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.

� The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction � User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types � Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization � Social media; social computing; virtual communities � Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction � User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains � Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems � Information systems usability engineering; universal usability � The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity � Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units � Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning � Gender and information technology � The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction � Issues in HCI education
The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December.
