JAIS Editorial Notes are essays, commentaries or reviews written primarily by the JAIS editorial board members typically through invitation although some unsolicited submissions may also be considered. These editorial notes are expected to be short, to the point commentaries reflecting the editorial board's views about publishing theory. They may provide guidelines for the journal¡¯s potential authors or provide a forum for debate about JAIS publishing and reviewing practices. More specifically, such commentaries will offer thoughts about the journal¡¯s review policies and practices, how issues of theory development and testing should be addressed in JAIS submissions, reports on JAIS editorial practices and performance, and general notes on the disciplinary policies and norms within the IS field. The editorial notes will also include studies on referencing practices, impact factor measures or reviewer sampling techniques in the IS field. Each published editorial note is reviewed by two JAIS editorial board members and they thus convey a "semi-official" view of the editorial board on the matter. Some of these notes will emerge from presentations at JAIS theory or related workshops, while others surface from consolidating critical discussions among JAIS editorial board members on issues that matter in publishing strong IS theory.
