CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of End User Computing

Mission:

The primary purpose of the Journal of End User Computing (JEUC) is to provide a forum to information technology educators, researchers, and practitioners to advance the practice and understanding of end user computing in organizations. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in JEUC. The journal publishes empirical and theoretical research concerned with all aspects of end user computing including development, utilization, and management. The journal is especially interested in those studies that show a significant contribution to the area by relating end user computing to end user satisfaction, end user productivity, and strategic and competitive advantage.

Coverage:

Topics should be drawn from, but not limited to, the following areas, with major emphasis on the productivity and strategic and competitive advantage derived from end user information processing:

End user computing (EUC) productivity and quality assurance; End users and down sizing; Information resources management and end users; EUC and strategic and competitive advantage; EUC and Electronic Commerce; Information center management; Managing emerging EUC technologies; EUC satisfaction; EUC in various management functions; EUC usage; EUC, piracy and copyright issues; EUC success factors; EUC controls for security and privacy; EUC risk factors; EUC management; EUC hardware and software; End user supports and training.

In general, the journal seeks contributions concerning any aspect of end user information processing including development, usage, satisfaction, productivity, success, failure, policies, politics, strategies, and management. The journal invites contributions from educators, researchers, and practitioners involved in research, management, and utilization of end user computing.

Submissions:

All manuscripts submitted to the journal will undergo a two-way blind review. Authors are asked to submit four copies of their original, previously unpublished manuscript that satisfies the following conditions:

Ø Must not be currently under review by another publication. Ø Must be written in APA (American Psychological Association) editorial style. Ø Should not exceed 25 double-spaced typed pages. Ø Must be accompanied by a cover page with author(s)' name, address, telephone number, and affiliation. Ø Must be accompanied by a 150-200 word vita of author(s) on a separate sheet. Ø Must be accompanied by a 150-200 word abstract on a separate sheet with appropriate key words for the papers.

JEUC also invites case studies, editorials, book reviews, software reviews, and practitioner articles for consideration for the Industry and Practice section of the journal. Submitted pieces for this section should not exceed 10 double-spaced typed pages.

Review process:

To ensure the high quality of published material, JEUC utilizes a group of experts to review submitted manuscripts. Upon receipt of the manuscript, two reviewers are selected from the Editorial Review Board of the Journal. The selection is based upon the particular area of expertise of the reviewers, matched to the subject matter of the submission. An additional ad-hoc reviewer is also selected to review the manuscript. Each submission is, therefore, blind reviewed by at least three reviewers. Revised manuscripts are blind reviewed by an associate editor and finally reviewed by the editor. Return of a manuscript to the author(s) for revision does not guarantee acceptance of the manuscript for publication but it is a step in the right direction. The final decision is based upon the comments of the reviewers, and the quality of the revised manuscript.
