******************************************************************** * Journal of Information Technology Impact * * ISSN 1098-139X * * * * ANNOUNCEMENT / CALL FOR PAPERS * ******************************************************************** The Journal of Information Technology Impact (JITI) is a scholarly, peer refereed journal that provides a forum and means for exchanging information on the social impact of information technologies. JITI's scope includes the effects of information technology on business, socialization, entertainment, and education. The Journal publishes original research articles, short experimental reports, review mono- graphs, technical notes, as well as special, thematic issues with commentaries. JITI is unique in providing a diverse forum for those interested in the effects of theories or implementation of information technology. It, therefore, promotes an exchange of information between groups not always thought to share a common interest. In general, JITI is designed for the following audiences: researchers, developers, and practitioners in schools, industry, and government; administrators, policy decision-makers, and other specialists in computer informa- tion systems. Authors are invited to submit high quality papers that match the Journal's scope. The Journal considers for publication full-length articles and short-length articles of 1000 words or less. Short- length articles can generally be published sooner than full length articles. All manuscripts must be submitted electronically. Authors should consult the "Author's Guidelines" published in the Journal's web site (http://www.jiti.net) for the detailed preparation of their manuscripts.
