Mission and Scope
Today’s society is fraught with a myriad of constrained opportunities. These challenges are indeed daunting, and the need for change is ever present. The mission of
International Journal of Information Systems and Social Change (IJISSC) is to provide an international forum for practitioners and researchers from both the social and natural sciences, along with information systems professionals, software developers, and vendors, to exchange, share, and present useful and innovative ideas and work. It also enables the presentation and distribution of ground-breaking and original ideas and concepts, which can shape future directions of research. These, when applied, can enable policy makers, government officials, business managers, and social workers to spread over various advanced techniques and new applications of information systems. IJISSC also encourages discussions on how information systems can promote social change, and also in turn, how the advances brought about by these social changes can affect the growth in, and future application of, information systems.

Reviews and Testimonials
The IJISSC is a journal that is on the cutting edge of current research. I am particularly impressed by the substantive and methodological range of its articles, its openness to differing perspectives, and its publication of interdisciplinary work.
– Allan J. Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History, American University, USA
It is with great honor to serve on the editorial board of this journal. While we enjoy the convenience the technology has brought us in this information era, we have also encountered enormous changes it has impacted our lives. This is a great journal that focuses on the information technology and yet more importantly the social impacts causing in every field and discipline. In my opinion the contribution of this journal is distinctive and stimulating.
– Dr. Wilfred V Huang, George G Raymond Chair, Professor of Management Information Systems, Editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Chinese Culture and Management (IJCCM), Alfred University, USA
IJISSC is well positioned in a promising crossroad, plainly situated within a reinforced-loop. In fact societies live because they change and these days information technologies are the main drivers of change. So the scope is perfect for IJISSC.
– Dr José Figueiredo, Professor of Engineering and Management, IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal
This journal offers the opportunity to target research at the cutting edge where technology strategy meets organizational performance, and where organizational performance challenges and provides opportunities for success.
– Gary A. Bojes, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) – Rural Development Utility Programs, USA
I strongly believe the social change incurred by IS/IT is an important area of research and am confident that this will be a fruitful area for academic and practical research.
– Jungwoo Lee, Yonsei University, Korea
IJISSC serves as a catalyst to stimulate a hot-debate respecting to the role plays the technology in our ever changing world. One of the aspects that characterize the journal is not only the open-mind of its editors as well as the published inter-disciplinary points of views. It exhibits a high-quality platform to explore the benefits and problems of technology for society.
– Maximiliano Korstanje, University of Palermo
