    The International Journal of Information Management (IJIM) is a leading outlet for high-impact research in the information systems (IS) field. It embraces an inclusive range of topics, levels of analysis, and perspectives, reflecting all facets of information systems globally.The journal focuses on:Design, development, implementation, and management of information technologies and systems in organizational and societal contexts;Strategic integration of IT in business, including IT strategy, governance, and organizational change management;Digital innovation and emerging technologies–for example, research on social media, mobile and cloud computing, digital platforms and ecosystems, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchains, and other cutting-edge technologies and their convergence;Organiza... initiatives that enhance decision-making and business intelligence;Use, impact, and value of information systems on individuals, organizations, and society, including studies of how IS influences organizational performance and processes, user behavior and experience, economics of IT, and public or institutional policy;Organizationa... contextualized ethical, social, and policy issues that are arising in the digital era (for instance, research on data privacy, security and resilience of IT infrastructures, sustainability, digital inclusion, and the societal implications of information technology).By covering this broad spectrum of topics, IJIM provides a comprehensive forum for both theoretical advances and practical insights into contemporary information systems in business contexts.Theoretical and Methodological Rigor IJIM is committed to the highest standards of academic rigor and scholarly contribution, publishing only work that is innovative, insightful, and rigorously developed. Specifically:We seek papers that make strong academic contributions, whether by building new theory or significantly extending existing frameworks. The journal values research that develops a scholarly understanding based on empirical evidence while also offering novel theoretical insights. Papers that do not advance theory or design in a significant way will be desk rejected. Each paper is expected to have a clear theoretical or design science grounding and to articulate its contribution to the broader IS literature, whether it be by challenging existing assumptions, integrating streams of research, unveiling new relationships and constructs, or designing new artifacts.We welcome diverse research methodologies and encourage authors to employ the approach best suited to their research question. Submissions may be quantitative (e.g. large-scale surveys, experiments, analytics), qualitative (e.g. case studies, ethnographies, interviews), design science (artifacts and solutions demonstrating IT innovation), or analytical/modeling studies.While we welcome research that draws on perspectives from computer science, management, economics, psychology, sociology, organization science, and other related disciplines, our focus is on information systems and information management. Any papers narrowly focused (e.g., marketing or agriculture) will be desk rejected. Novel combinations of theories or methods that address complex IS phenomena are welcomed. Regardless of approach, all submissions must demonstrate methodological rigor, sound analysis, and validity of results. The journal ensures a rich methodological plurality that advances the IS field’s knowledge base.We welcome submissions of the article types below –Research ArticlesFull-length, theoretically grounded manuscripts that advance knowledge in information and management through rigorous conceptual development and empirical validation. Submissions should clearly align with the journal’s scope and mission.Research Methods ArticlesThese articles focus on advancing the practice of doing research. This includes papers that introduce or refine methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, or computational, including AI-enabled methods), discuss innovations in data collection or analysis, or reflect on research design, theory building, and scholarly inquiry.Theory and Review ArticlesThese submissions offer integrative reviews of existing literature and develop frameworks that organize knowledge and guide future research. Authors are encouraged to identify gaps, evaluate theoretical contributions, and propose novel directions or conceptual models that shape the evolution of the field.Research NotesShort-form articles that provide timely and focused contributions, such as replication studies, critical re-evaluations of past findings, or exploratory research that challenges prevailing assumptions. This category welcomes contrarian perspectives and constructive critique that fosters healthy academic debate.A Leading Outlet for Cutting-Edge Scholarship As a premier journal in information systems and information management, IJIM aspires to publish only the highest quality scholarship in the discipline.

  • Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation

    • ISSN: 1061-9518
    Founded in 1992, the Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation (JIAAT) publishes research that advances our understanding of international accounting over a diverse range of topics and research methods. JIAAT articles deal with most areas of international accounting, including auditing, financial accounting, taxation, social and environmental accounting, and management accounting. The Journal welcomes research that utilizes a wide range of basic and applied research methods, including archival, experimental, survey, analytical, and case study.The Journal's founding goal was to bridge the gap between academic researchers and practitioners by publishing papers that are relevant to the development of the field of accounting. Within this context, submissions are expected to make a contribution to the academic accounting literature, including as appropriate the international accounting literature typically found in JIAAT and other primary US-based international accounting journals as well as in leading European, Australian, and Canadian academic accounting journals. Applied research findings, critiques of current accounting practices and the measurement of their effects on business decisions, and research-based essays on world affairs which affect accounting practice are all within the scope of the journal.Although the Journal welcomes a wide range of topics, papers may be rejected without being sent out for formal review if the paper is deemed outside of the scope of the journal, too narrow in interest or scope, of unacceptable written quality, or as not sufficiently adhering to the style requirements as outlined in the Guide for Authors. We strongly urge all authors interested in JIAAT to carefully read the Guide to Authors and to examine some of its more recently published articles. Examples of topics outside the scope of the journal include accounting education, attitudes about the implementation and use of software programs, and tax papers with an economics or finance focus rather than an accounting-related tax focus. Papers using a US sample must demonstrate a significant international accounting focus.
