Introduction

The Journal of the Southern Association for Information Systems (JSAIS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes scholarly articles on all aspects of information systems. JSAIS emphasizes originality, importance, and cogency of ideas, with a broad focus emphasizing various research methodoogies and inclusive of interdisciplinary investigations. The journal utilizes a hybrid peer review approach that combines community reviews with traditional peer review. JSAIS also compresses the cycle time from submission to publication to allow for cutting-edge research to be published quickly. A hallmark of JSAIS is the developmental approach to reviewing; the editorial team works closely with authors to help them develop their works. The goal is to bring good ideas to light, rather than to put up road blocks. Accepted article are published immediately and the journal will appear on a quartler cycle in January, April, July, and October beginning in the Fall of 2011.

History

The Journal of the Southern Association for Information Systems was formally presented to the members of the Southern Association for Information Systems (SAIS) in May of 2008 at the SAIS Annual Conference. The membership voted to move forward with the journal at that time, and put out an offical call for editors.
