Robert Davison who edits the Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries (I'm on the Board) has asked me to forward this to our list...

Probably we accept about 50% of submissions. How well do we rate in the IS field? Hard to say, though not badly simply because we are an ejournal I feel. I am able to persuade some of my colleagues, who would otherwise feel compelled to publish only in the traditional prestigious paper press, to submit articles. I am grateful to my department for providing the journal's webserver. I am working with the UN (UNCTAD - www.unctad.org) to try and highlight the way that non-profits such as EJISDC can provide a viable epublishing operation - in contrast to the for-profit model. EJISDC just issued volume 11, with 12 articles devoted to constructive criticism of the 2002 UNCTAD report - feel free to browse at www.ejisdc.org." Robert
