CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Senior Editor of the Journal of Information Systems
The Journal of Information Systems (JIS) Research and Publications Committee is soliciting nominations for the Journal of Information Systems Senior Editor position.
The Journal of Information Systems (JIS) is the academic journal of the Accounting Information Systems Section of the American Accounting Association. JIS publishes academic research and practice-based reports related to the relationship between accounting, information systems, and information technology. Rapidly evolving advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) require accounting professionals (and researchers) to be attuned to the needs of digitally transformed organizations. In response, JIS seeks to support, promote, and improve research and practice regarding the linkages between accounting and systems, including how this informs risk and opportunity in today’s global society. The journal reports on current topics through a focus on: human-computer interaction (HCI) research in accounting information systems (AIS); the integration of accounting and information technology; the implications of global challenges such as climate change upon AIS; applying or understanding information technology theory and practice within AIS, accounting, and auditing; methodology; and developing theories related to information technology. JIS prints 3 issues a year in Spring, Summer, and Fall, and is indexed in Scopus and SSCI.
The term of the current Senior Editors, Professors David Wang and Carla Wilkin, ends in December 2025. The JIS Research and Publications Committee is expected to appoint the Senior Editor before June 2025 for transition.

Monograph: Researching Accounting as an Information Systems Discipline
Researching Accounting as an Information Systems Discipline is the culmination of over two years of work by the Information Systems Section. The AIS research monograph is intended to fulfill the needs of three primary sets of stakeholders in the IS section. The first objective is to provide a source book for use in AIS doctoral seminars. This objective includes a desire to provide a valuable synthesis of the literature to facilitate broad coverage of the AIS domain within the short confines of semester- or quarter-length courses and to motivate doctoral students to pursue studies in AIS research.
