Call For Papers
The Journal of Systems and Information Technology
The Journal provides an avenue for scholarly work that takes a systemic or
holistic perspective in relation to areas such as information systems
development, information technology and information systems management.
The Journal of Systems and Information Technology fosters primarily,
although not exclusively, interpretive or qualitative research methods
including ethnographic, genealogical, action research and case studies of
various kinds. Research that uses quantitative methods, for example
statistical surveys, will be suitable if they take a broad perspective of
the problems and issues. This means very often that the social and political
aspects will be considered as well as the technical.
Target topics that will be relevant to JoSIT include but are not limited to:
o IS/IT planning that takes a systemic approach
o Innovative Soft Systems approaches used in information systems development
o The integration of software and/or hardware technologies that provide
holistic solutions to problems. For example, the integration of various
aspects of software engineering paradigms.
o Human Computer Interaction (HCI) problems tackled in an systemic or
integrated way.
o Research papers that promote the development of interpretive or
qualitative research methodologies in relation to Information Systems
through case studies.
o Systems approaches in the management of information systems.
o Holistic approaches in the development of technology policy and technology
transfer.
o Integrative methods of systems design.
o Systems perspectives in IS/IT evaluation.
o The use of metaphors as an integrative theme for aspects of IT/IS.
o The influence of politics and culture on systems development and the use
of information technology.
Book Reviews
JoSIT will include book reviews and information concerning conferences in
the holistic information systems field.
