Item 7:
RE suggestion to publish selected papers from ECIS in a leading IS journal each year.
Leslie Willcocks has spoken to all the editors of ISJ, EJIS and JSIS. Leslie is editor of JIT.
The idea of publishing 4-6 papers explicitly as papers from ECIS was well received.
The agreement was:
1. JIT would do it this year
2. ISJ or EJIS would do it next year
3. ISJ or EJIS would do it in year 3.
4. JSIS would not publish a theme issue because as a journal it was restricted to 'strategic' papers. However, if interested in any paper it would agree with the relevant theme issue journal in any year about whether it could publish specific papers which when published would also be referenced as developed from ECIS papers.
5. Journals of at least equivalent ranking would be open to join the queue.
6. If in its designated year a journal did not want to publish an ECIS theme issue the journal would go to the back of the queue.
7. Journal editors reserve the right to develop the papers further with the authors to ensure they are publishable as Journal papers.
