Focus and Scope

Aim

Applied Information System and Management (AISM) publishes research on applied issues of Information Systems and Information Systems Management. The journal emphasizes practical, methodological, and theoretical contributions to the development, implementation, evaluation, operation, management, policy, and strategy of Information Systems, including their intersections with management, organizations, and emerging digital technologies.

Focus

AISM focuses on how information systems are built, used, managed, and governed to solve real problems in organizations and society. Applied research in this field contributes to methodological issues, such as reporting experience in solving practical problems, and to theoretical issues, such as presenting new concepts, models, and techniques. Every article is expected to make a clear contribution to Information Systems or Information Systems Management.

Scope

The scope of AISM covers the following 20 topics, grouped into five areas:

1. Information Systems Development and Engineering
Methods, models, and practices for analysing, designing, building, and evaluating information systems in organizational and public settings.
IS Analysis and DesignEnterprise Information SystemsGeographic Information SystemsModeling and SimulationIT-Enabled Technologies Development
2. Data, Information, and Decision Support
The use of data and information to support search, analysis, knowledge work, and decision making in organizations.
Information RetrievalBusiness IntelligenceDecision Support SystemKnowledge Sharing and Management
3. IT Management and Governance
The planning, delivery, control, and regulation of information technology, including frameworks, standards, and policies.
IT Project ManagementIT Service ManagementIT and Internet GovernanceIT Policies and Standards
4. Information Systems, Organizations, and Society
How information systems are adopted, used, and create value for organizations, communities, and users.

5. Digital and Emerging Technologies
Internet-based, cyber, and emerging technologies studied in the context of their application and management within information systems.

What Fits AISM

A manuscript is considered within scope when it meets both of the following:

  • It addresses a problem in the development, use, management, governance, or impact of an information system, or of information technology within an organization or community; and
  • It reports a contribution that is relevant to Information Systems or Information Systems Management, such as a validated system, model, framework, method, evaluation, or empirical finding.

Studies that apply artificial intelligence, data analytics, or other computing techniques are welcome when the technique is used and evaluated as part of an information system, decision support, or organizational context.

Outside the Scope

The following manuscripts are generally considered outside the scope of AISM and may be declined at the initial editorial screening:

  • Algorithm or model development that is not linked to any information system, application context, or organizational use;
  • Hardware, electronics, or network engineering studies without an information systems perspective;
  • Management, business, accounting, or education studies in which information systems or information technology play no substantial role;
  • Descriptive system-building reports (for example, “design of a web-based system for…”) without evaluation, analysis, or a clear scientific contribution.

Article Types

  • Full research papers: original empirical or technical research with complete research design, data, analysis, findings, and contribution;
  • Review papers: systematic reviews, literature reviews, bibliometric analyses, meta-analyses, or structured syntheses that include the authors' own critical analysis;
  • Short communications: concise reports of preliminary findings, technical notes, applied innovations, or emerging issues in information systems.

AISM gives priority to original research. At least 60% of the articles in each issue are original research articles.

Scope Check

Every submission is checked for its fit with this focus and scope during the initial editorial review, before peer review. Authors who are unsure whether their manuscript fits AISM may contact the editorial office at aism.journal@apps.uinjkt.ac.id before submitting. Details of the review stages are described in the Peer Review Process, and manuscript preparation in the Author Guidelines.
