Scope and Coverage

JITCAR will publish case and application research articles focusing on any size of organization: start-up, small, medium, large, or multinational company. These cases and applications can originate from any country in the world: advanced, newly industrialized, developing, or under-developed. Furthermore, the primary thrust of a case or application may include artificial intelligence, business process reengineering, cross-cultural issues, cybernetics, decision support systems, electronic commerce, firewalls and internet, groupware, human side of IT, information infrastructures, joint application development, knowledge based systems, local area networks, management information systems, neural networks, office automation, prototyping, query languages, robotics, systems analysis, telemedicine, ubiquitous computing, video-conferencing, webonomics, and so on.

Generally, there will be three research articles. Occasionally, there will be a Teaching Case article. Research articles will be based on actual case studies and/or applications studies utilizing case study, field study, and/or field experiment research methodology (JITCA, volume 1, number 4, editorial preface). Each teaching case submission to JITCAR will include three components: the case itself, a summary research note, and a detailed teaching note. These three components will be reviewed as a package; the journal's decision to publish the case will be determined by the quality of the case itself and the accompanying research and teaching notes.
