Journals

  1. The only journal within our discipline that is devoted exclusively to Global IT topics is Journal of Global Information Management edited by Pashant Palvia, published quarterly since 1993 by Idea Group Publishing.
  2. After a brief run the early 90s International Information Systems , edited by Paul Gray, was folded into the Journal of Strategic Information Systems which tends to publish at least one "global IT" piece in each issue.
  3. Additional journals in managerial disciplines are nicely compiled in the journals page of IS World.
