Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems (SJIS) - new issue online and editorial update

Issue 2 in Volume 20 of SJIS is now available online from the SJIS web site: www.e-sjis.org

SJIS celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008. In recognition of this, we invited two SJIS veterans, Lars Mathiassen and Peter Axel Nielsen, to provide their reflections on the development of IS research in Scandinavia. On the basis of a review of all full research papers published in SJIS over the past 20 years (130 papers in total), they analyze Scandinavian IS research from an engaged scholarship view. The title of their article is "Engaged Scholarship in IS Research: The Scandinavian Case."

TOC for the rest of this issue:

"The Enactment of Methodology: An Institutional Account of Systems Developers as Social Actors", Bruce Rowlands, Griffith University, Australia.

"The Genre System Lens on E-Democracy", Tero Paivarinta & Oystein Sabo, University of Agder, Norway.

"Ontological Evaluation of Conceptual Models: A Linguistic Interpretivist Approach", Jörg Becker, Björn Niehaves, Daniel Pfeiffer, University of Münster, Germany

The SJIS website contains a full access archive of all publications in SJIS. Including the papers from the traditional SJIS debate forum, a total of 208 articles have been published in the journal during the period 1989-2008. This includes seven special issues: activity theory, software process improvement, the intersections of ethnography and intervention in IS research, development and use of web-based information systems, e-government in Scandinavia, IS research in Australia, and genre theory in IS.

We welcome proposals for new, interesting special issues, as well as regular research paper submissions. See the journal web page for submission guidelines (www.e-sjis.org).

From 2009, Professor Bjorn Erik Munkvold replaces Professor Matti Rossi

as coordinating editor for SJIS. We thank Matti for his excellent service for the journal for the last four years, and welcome Professor Samuli Pekkkola from Tampere University of Technology as the new Finnish editor. Finally, in light of the increasing number of submissions and to further strengthen the journal’s outreach, both within and outside of Scandinavia, we have extended the SJIS advisory board with the following senior scholars: Tone Bratteteig, Joe Nandhakumar, Sandeep Purao, Ulrike Schultze, Erik Stolterman and Youngjin Yoo.
