Policies

Submissions

SJIS promotes careful application of all kinds of datasets for theory development and validation. SJIS seeks to promote open and critical data sharing and triangulation across IS scholars. Authors need to recognize the following policies with regard to the use of their data sets while submitting to SJIS:

  1. All authors using empirical data sets must make them available on request for editors or reviewers after anonymizing the data.
  2. Authors need to communicate clearly during submission, preferably in the cover letter, whether the data set has been used before and specify where it has been used. All data sets collected or applied need to meet established criteria for data privacy, confidentiality, and recognition of study subjects. SJIS and AIS accept no responsibility regarding the accuracy of data provided by authors of papers they publish, nor any liability for consequences related to the publication and/or use of those data.

Review process

The Editor-in-Chief does initial screening of each manuscript. Manuscripts that are found to be within the scope of the journal regarding contents and quality undergo a double-blind review process, with three reviewers assigned for each paper.

Code of Research Conduct

All prospective authors must adhere to the AIS Code of Research Conduct in their work. Authors who believe their work has been plagiarized or subjected to other scholarly misconduct are urged to consult Guidelines for a Victim. AIS Council's process for dealing with allegations of scholarly misconduct in the Association's journals and proceedings is detailed in AIS Research Conduct Committee Process Guidelines.
