Journal Details
Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce
Aims & Scope
The Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce publishes original research articles concerned with the impacts of computer and communication technology on organizational design, operations, and performance. It serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research as to the implications of these technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, the technological advances needed to keep pace with organizational changes, and the emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance. The journal's focus is not on computing as it relates to individuals. Theoretical, experimental, and survey research are all appropriate to the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce. The journal's major editorial areas are enterprise systems, computer-supported cooperative work, groupware, computer-aided coordination, supply chain technologies, interorganizational systems, collaborative commerce, e-commerce, economics of organizational computing, technologies for organizational learning, and behavioral aspects of organizational computing. The refereeing of papers in each of these areas is directed by the Editor-in-Chief, a Senior Editor, or an Associate Editor. The journal also publishes relevant book reviews, meeting announcements, brief notes, and software reviews.
JOCEC is not a computer science journal.
Bibliometric study of the actual publishing behaviors exhibited by tenured IS faculty members at leading public research universities in the U.S. reveals:
- As a group, these senior scholars have published more articles in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).
- Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion.
- In addition, a larger percentage of these senior scholars have published in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., again, it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).
- Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion.
A follow-up study shows that these results for JOCEC are robust, regardless of whether the actual publishing behaviors are those for leading public or private research universities.
