The Journal of Management Information Systems(JMIS) is a top-tier peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes impactful research articles making a significant novel contribution in the areas of information systems and information technology. It was established in 1984. The present editor-in-chief of JMIS is Vladimir Zwass. JMIS is published by Taylor & Francis in print and online.
The mission of JMIS is to present an integrated view of the field of Information Systems (IS) through the significant novel contributions by the best thinkers. The IS discipline seeks to understand how systems can be organized, developed, and deployed effectively to manage information and knowledge toward specified outcomes, in order to support people, organizations, marketplaces, and products. Numerous now prominent research streams in the discipline have their origins in the foundational paper published in the Journal. JMIS has always reflected the belief that thematic and methodological diversity of the highest quality papers within a well-defined IS domain is the strength of the field.
JMIS is ranked as one of the three top-tier Information Systems journals, along with Information Systems Research (ISR) and MIS Quarterly (MISQ), in the comprehensive scientometric study published in MISQ and confirmed by other scholarly studies. JMIS is one of the 50 leading scholarly journals on the Financial Times FT50 list.
JMIS serves the researchers investigating new modes of information technology deployment and the changing landscape of information policy making, as well as practitioners and executives managing the information resource. Along with the pursuit of knowledge, the quarterly aims to serve the societal goals, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice of information systems.
The journal accepts for the double-blind review full-scale research submissions that make a significant contribution to the field of information systems. Such contributions may present:
Analytical attention is focused on the following key issues:
The submissions are refereed in a double-blind process by the internationally recognized expert referees and by Associate Editors who serve on the distinguished Editorial Board of JMIS. JMIS reviews have been ranked #1 in 2020 for quality and timeliness by the IS scholarly community. [1] [2]
This journal's fairness and transparency in handling manuscripts have been criticized by some scholars. There have been comments on the academic journal review website, Scirev, stating that this journal rejected submissions without providing any explanation, simply stating that they were not suitable. There were also comments mentioning that within the peer review feedback they received, some individuals claimed that this journal no longer publishes articles using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method for data analysis. However, the journal's website has never addressed this issue, and the PLS method is used in many other top-tier journals. Even if there are concerns about the method, further explanation and decision-making should be provided instead of simply rejecting articles based on that reason. [3]
Knowledge management (KM) is the collection of methods relating to creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. It refers to a multidisciplinary approach to achieve organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge.
An information system (IS) is a formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information. From a sociotechnical perspective, information systems are composed by four components: task, people, structure, and technology. Information systems can be defined as an integration of components for collection, storage and processing of data of which the data is used to provide information, contribute to knowledge as well as digital products that facilitate decision making.
An academic journal or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of research. They nearly universally require peer review or other scrutiny from contemporaries competent and established in their respective fields. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, or book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences."
The Faculty of Information (or the iSchool at the University of Toronto) is an undergraduate and graduate school that offers the following programs: a Bachelor of Information (BI), a Master of Information (MI), a Master of Museum Studies (MMSt), and a PhD in information studies, as well as diploma courses. As a member of the iSchool movement, the Faculty of Information takes an interdisciplinary approach to information studies, building on its traditional strengths in library and information science, complemented by research and teaching in archives, museum studies, user experience, information systems and design, critical information studies, culture and technology, knowledge management, digital humanities, the history of books, data science and other related fields. It is located on St. George Campus, in the Claude Bissell building, at 140 St. George Street, which is attached to the John P. Robarts Research Library and the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.
Scientometrics is the field of study which concerns itself with measuring and analysing scholarly literature. Scientometrics is a sub-field of informetrics. Major research issues include the measurement of the impact of research papers and academic journals, the understanding of scientific citations, and the use of such measurements in policy and management contexts. In practice there is a significant overlap between scientometrics and other scientific fields such as information systems, information science, science of science policy, sociology of science, and metascience. Critics have argued that over-reliance on scientometrics has created a system of perverse incentives, producing a publish or perish environment that leads to low-quality research.
The Association for Information Systems (AIS) is an international, not-for-profit, professional association for scholars of information systems that was established in 1994. The association publishes journals, organizes conferences, and provides a forum for information systems professors and managers. It has members in more than 100 countries.
Management Information Systems Quarterly, referred to as MIS Quarterly, is an online-only quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal that covers research in management information systems and information technology. It was established in 1977 and is considered a major periodical in the information systems industry. An official journal of the Association for Information Systems, it is published by the Management Information Systems Research Center at the University of Minnesota. The current editor-in-chief is Andrew Burton-Jones, University of Queensland.

In addition, he holds visiting status at the School of Information Systems, Technology and Management at The Australian School of Business, UNSW.
Technostress has been defined as the negative psychological relationship between people and the introduction of new technologies. Where ergonomics is the study of how humans react to and physically fit into machines in their environment, technostress is a result of altered habits of work and collaboration that are being brought about due to the use of modern information technologies at office and home situations.
Design science research (DSR) is a research paradigm focusing on the development and validation of prescriptive knowledge in information science. Herbert Simon distinguished the natural sciences, concerned with explaining how things are, from design sciences which are concerned with how things ought to be, that is, with devising artifacts to attain goals. Design science research methodology (DSRM) refers to the research methodologies associated with this paradigm. It spans the methodologies of several research disciplines, for example information technology, which offers specific guidelines for evaluation and iteration within research projects.
