Information Systems Journal Statistics

EJISDC targets the digital divide. Our aim is to situate contemporary trends in ICTs within a fully global context that moves away from the current skewed perspective of developed countries. Outside of North America, Western Europe, Australasia and Japan, there exists a wide and varied world that is struggling to make sense of technological advances in its own way. A world in which priorities for investments in information systems compete with the provision of the basic necessities of life such as decent housing, clean water and primary healthcare. Yet ICT investments can and do contribute to the betterment of the lives of the poor. EJISDC intends to reach its audience in a manner which is consistent with its mission. It will be published electronically, as the title suggests. There are no subscription fees. Research contributions will be sought, and they will be reviewed and refereed by renowned scholars, but EJISDC is not a journal for academics merely to showcase their research skills to each other. The editors will seek contributions from practitioners, managers, policy makers and writers with a story to tell. We are convinced that there is an abundance of useful knowledge regarding the use of ICTs in developing countries which has not been tapped and which can be usefully and easily shared electronically among interested individuals in the developing world.
