Abstract
This editorial expresses opinions of a former Editor in Chief of CAIS reflecting a few years after completing his term. This reflection will focus on (1) replication research; (2) reasons to ignore typical metrics like citation counts and acceptance rates; (3) the journal as a “boundary spanner”; and (4) what it means to serve a global constituency. It includes some general recommendations that various stakeholders (readers, authors, associate editors, reviewers) can interpret from their own perspectives.
