2.  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.

 

3.  ERB: We have a few vacancies on the Editorial Review Board, especially for scholars from outside USA.  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@uncg.edu.  Please include a 100-word bio with your request.
