EDITORIAL BOARD UPDATES

We are delighted to announce that Professor Nancy Lankton, from the Department of Accounting and Information Systems at Michigan State University, has joined the editorial board as an Associate Editor. Her research interests include technology investment decisions and acceptance factors, including technology trust and habit. Her research has been published in the Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Communications of the Association for Information Systems, e-Service Journal, and the IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management.

We express our sincere gratitude to three long-standing members of the board who have concluded their terms: Fred Davis of the University of Arkansas, Chuck Kacmar of the University of Alabama and Paul Tallon of Loyola College, Maryland. Their dedication over the years of their service to the journal has provided significant benefit to the community, and they deserve our thanks.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME

Welcome, CAIS readers, to the new AIS e-library, hosted by bepress (Berkeley Electronic Press). After a lengthy migration process, all of CAIS's articles have been moved to the new site. The new e-library offers many improvements over the old site, and we think the overall experience of reading and searching CAIS has improved dramatically. If you find any errors or omissions, please let us know so we can correct them.

SUBMISSION PROCESS FOR CAIS

As of January 2, 2008, all submissions to CAIS must be done through Scholar One, the electronic journal submissions system that is becoming the industry standard. To submit a new manuscript to CAIS, go to the CAIS Scholar One site. If you do not have an account already, you will need to create one. Once you have logged in, and you begin the submission process, you will need to choose between peer and editorial board review. You will also have the opportunity to choose to submit your manuscript to a particular department if you so desire. CAIS has four departments: diffusion of the Internet, health information systems, design science, and papers in French. If you have questions, Scholar One has excellent help facilities for the process.

CITING OUR JOURNAL

In order for CAIS to be recognized by certain indexing services, it is important that the journal name be cited consistently. The preferred way to cite the journal's name is as Communications of the Association for Information Systems. We would appreciate it if you would use this name for the journal when you cite the articles that have been published here. Thanks.
