International Journal of Information systems and Project Management

Mission

The mission of the IJISPM - International Journal of Information Systems and Project Management - is the dissemination of new scientific knowledge on information systems management and project management, encouraging further progress in theory and practice.

The IJISPM publishes leading scholarly theoretical and practical research articles that aim to advance the information systems management and project management fields of knowledge, featuring state-of-the-art research, theories, approaches, methodologies, techniques, and applications.

The journal serves academics, practitioners, chief information officers, project managers, consultants, and senior executives of organizations, establishing an effective communication channel between academia and industry.

Description

The IJISPM offers wide-ranging and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of information systems management and project management. It seeks contributions that build on established lines of work, as well as on new research streams. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives that focus on currently emerging issues in information systems and project management are particularly welcome. Both pure and applied research submissions that impact theory and practice are encouraged. The journal is published four times per year, in the last week of each trimester.

The journal's content provides relevant information for researchers, practitioners, and organizations and includes original qualitative or quantitative articles, and purely conceptual or theoretical articles. In addition, due to the integrative and interdisciplinary nature of information systems and project management, the journal may publish articles from a number of other disciplines, including strategic management, psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, and economics, among others. Articles are selected for publication based on their relevance, rigor, clarity, novelty, and contribution to further development and research.

Authors are encouraged to submit articles on information technology governance, information systems planning, information systems design and implementation, information technology outsourcing, project environment, project management life-cycle, project management knowledge areas, criteria and factors for success, social aspects, chief information officer role, chief information officer skills, and project manager role, among others.

IJISPM is proudly open access, providing users the right to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the published articles, if not used for commercial purposes. The journal does not charge authors, readers, or their institutions, for publication or access.
