Journal of Information Systems
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 three issues a year in Spring, Summer, and Fall, and is indexed in Scopus and SSCI.
