This novel journal will focus on cases and : applications that explain existing theories and concepts or that help in : building new theories and frameworks. This journal should be of great value : to professors and students as well as researchers and practitioners of IT. : It is a refereed international quarterly journal that is supported by IT : scholars from all over the world. Finally, the journal is international in : all respects: content, article authorship, readership, and the editorial : board. : : SCOPE and COVERAGE: JITCA will publish articles about cases and : applications studies 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. Furthermore, the primary thrust of a case : or application may include artificial intelligence, business process : reengineering, cross-cultural issues, cybernetics, decision support : systems, electronic commerce, firewalls and internet, groupware, human side : of IT, information infrastructures, joint application development, : knowledge based systems, local area networks, management information : systems, neural networks, office automation, prototyping, query languages, : robotics, systems analysis, telemedicine, ubiquitous computing, : video-conferencing, webonomics, and so on. : : Generally, there will be two research articles and one teaching case : article. Research articles will be based on actual case studies and/or : applications studies utilizing case study, field study, and/or field : experiment research methodology (JITCA, volume 1, number 4, editorial : preface). Each teaching case submission to JITCA will include three : components: the case itself, a summary research note, and a detailed : teaching note. These three components will be reviewed as a package; the : journal's decision to publish the case will be determined by the quality of : the case itself and the accompanying research and teaching notes. The most : important contribution of this journal will be to disseminate current and : relevant IT cases and applications to educators, managers, practitioners, : and researchers all over the world. : : CALL for MANUSCRIPTS: The journal encourages manuscript submissions from : authors all over the world, from academia, government, and industry. The : journal will also include reviews of cutting edge IT books that have : bearing on the journal's mission. Practitioner input will be regularly : solicited from time-to-time through the industry editor(s) of JITCA. To : utilize cutting edge IT, authors are strongly encouraged to make their : submissions electronically to the editor-in-chief by attaching file(s) in : appropriate format. : : REVIEW PROCESS: Each suitable article is double blind-reviewed by three : members of the editorial review board. A final recommendation is made by : the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with an Associate Editor. If a revision : is recommended, the revised paper is sent for a final approval to one of : the Associate Editors. : : STYLE: Submitted manuscripts must be written in the APA (American : Psychological Association) editorial style. Footnotes are not allowed. : Endnotes should be kept to a minimum; instead the material should be : incorporated in the body of the paper. References should be listed in : alphabetical order. The suggested length is about 20 pages not counting : references, tables, and figures. The manuscript should be typed : double-spaced. : : *************************************************************** : Dr. Shailendra Palvia : Professor and Director of Manangement Information Systems : College of Management : Long Island University : C.W.
