The Australasian Journal of Information Systems
Aims & Scope
AJIS publishes high quality contributions to theory and practice in the global Information Systems (IS) discipline based on innovative and novel approaches and topics. It is particularly interested in IS knowledge drawn from or applied to Australasia. The journal welcomes submissions on research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of inquiry methods, ways of thinking and modes of expression.
AJIS is a Diamond open access journal which does not levy article submission fees, article processing charges, content access fees or any other form of fees or charges. This approach is in line with the founding principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

- Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline.
- Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge.
- Impact - paper answers the 'so-what' question and will be used for further research and/or practice. • Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique.
- Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit.
- Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate.
- Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content.
- Reliability - data available; replication possible.
- References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient – appropriate AJIS articles referenced
- Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows.
