ISJ moved to Manuscript Central to handle its work flow from 5th October 2009. See Submitting a paper or paper progress
for details. Papers submitted since this date will have their status
etc. available via the manuscript central system. Papers submitted
before this date will be handled manually. This
important move provides many benefits and makes the ISJ even more efficient in processing papers. For authors it means
improved information about the status of their papers and where they
are in the process. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in this
move and especially to Carolyn and Kathryn in the ISJ office.

| A
meeting
of ISJ
Editors was held in December 2009, at ICIS in Phoenix, USA.
|
| We
are pleased to announce that Blackwell's and AIS (the Association of
Information Systems) have made an agreement such that the
ISJ has become an official journal of the AIS. This is a
significant strategic move that provides advntages for both parties.
|
| The
ISJ
published a Special Issue in October 2006 commemorating the work of
Enid Mumford, a pioneer in the information systems field with her work
on participation, the socio-technical approach and the Ethics
methodology. She was a founder member of the ISJ
Editorial Board and made a major contribution to the journal. The
Special Issue, edited by David Avison, contains Enid's last paper,
submitted shortly before she died in April 2006, plus many tributes
from those who knew her on her as a very special person and on her work
and its contribution. We hope this issue is a fitting tribute to her.

| Blackwell
Publishing (ISJ
Publishers) are moving to a
licencing agreement with authors rather than copyright assignment -
this
is a significant improvement and for example allows authors to put
published
and pre-published papers on their own websites.

| The
Editors of ISJ
were extremely sad to learn of the death of Claudio Ciborra in Feb
2005. He was a valued member of the ISJ Editorial Board and a key
supporter of ISJ, especially in its early days. We will miss him.

website at http://is.lse.ac.uk/InMemoryOfClaudio/
