Special issues

Abstract

The ISJ has a long and distinguished tradition of publishing special issues. These date back to the earliest volumes of the journal in the 1990s and cover a wide variety of different topics, including eGovernment, critical theory, digital business models, the dark side of IS, power and IS, open systems, indigenous theory and social inclusion. 1 We receive numerous proposals for special issues each year. Of these, we accept only a small number. In this editorial, I outline what makes for a suitable special issue proposal, and also indicate some policy issues.
