THREE ITEMS:

1. CFP: The journal continuously seeks quality manuscripts from all parts
of the world. Submissions need to be made electronically. Send as a Word
attachment to: pcpalvia@uncg.edu. Besides being quality work, at a
minimum each submitted article should have the following three components:
 an MIS topic, an international orientation (e.g., cross cultural studies
or strong international implications), and strong evidence (e.g., survey
data, case studies, secondary data, etc.).

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 almost complete autonomy in preparing the special
issue, assisted as necessary by 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.

2. 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.
