Edited/Distributed by HURINet - The Human Rights Information Network --------------------------------------------------------------------- ## author : roger@mailhost.fit.unimas.my ## date : 09.09.99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcing a new journal on IS in developing countries The Electronic Journal for Information Systems In Developing Countries (EJISDC) strives to become the foremost international forum for practitioners, teachers, researchers and policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of information systems and technologies in developing countries. EJISDC targets the digital divide. Our aim is to situate contemporary trends in ICTs within a fully global context that moves away from the currently skewed perspective of developed countries. EJISDC intends to reach its audience in a manner that is consistent with its mission. It will be published electronically. There will be no subscription fees. Research contributions are now sought, and they will be reviewed and refereed by renowned scholars, but EJISDC is not a journal for academics merely to showcase their research skills to each other. The editors will seek contributions from practitioners, managers, policy makers and writers with a story to tell. Topics of interest are as wide and diverse as the audience that we address. However, certain issues relating to ICTs in developing countries sit at the forefront of system planning and development activities and contributions relating to these are especially sought as it believed that they will have an immediate interest among a wide audience. Such topics include: Internet Usage National Policies for IT Applications of IT in Rural Areas IT in Development Practice Research Practice in IT in Development Education in IT Cultural Aspects of IT in Developing Countries EJISDC is edited by: Editor-in-Chief, Roger Harris, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, roger@fit.unimas.my Associate Editors: Robert Davison, City University of Hong Kong, isrobert@is.cityu.edu.hk Sajda Qureshi, Erasmus University Rotterdam, squreshi@fac.fbk.eur.nl Doug Vogel, City University of Hong Kong, isdoug@is.cityu.edu.hk Gert-Jan de Vreede, Delft University of Technology, devreede@sepa.tudelft.nl Visit the journal's website for further information http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/EJISDC.htm To submit a manuscript please email any of the editors The EJISDC Advisory Board consists of: A.
