Communications of the Association for Information Systems

The primary role of a professional society is to facilitate communication among its members. Communications of the Association for Information Systems carries out this role for the Association for Information Systems (AIS) by publishing articles on a wide range of subjects of interest to the membership, including but not limited to regular research papers, debates, panel discussions, and other topics of interest to the global community.

Communications of the Association for Information Systems has a proud tradition of publishing novel, original and groundbreaking research, methodological essays and guidelines, important lively debates about research practices, and is also the only dedicated AIS outlet that publishes matters and studies related to IS pedagogy.
