Scope/Description:

SJIS has operated since 1989 thus it has published IS research for close to 30 years. The journal focuses on publishing critical yet constructive studies of IT development use and design. The journal draws on the rich and wellestablished Scandinavian research tradition IivariLyytinen 1998 that emphasizes engagement with the field participation from users and multivocality of interests Bjerknes 2016 Ehn 1989 MathiassenNielsen 2008. A key characteristic of Scandinavian IS research is that it challenges a purely technical perspective and does not focus on technology per se. Instead it extends to sociotechnical issues on different levels the interaction level HCI UX and interfaces the individual level job satisfaction job design and automation the organizational level organizational change decision making business models and strategy andor societal level including issues such as unemployment privacy and wealth distribution BjrnAndersenClemmensen 2017. Furthermore design has been at the core of Scandinavian IS since its inception gerfalkWiberg 2018. Designoriented research and research related to purposeful change induced by Information Systems within and beyond organizations are key areas of interest within the Scandinavian tradition. Because geographical boundaries do not confine to this kind of scholarly work one should interpret the term Scandinavian metaphorically rather than literally as an ambition to foster this tradition. Therefore the journal welcomes submissions from all over the world that address these topics and engage in a critical discourse with studies informed by Scandinavian IS tradition.
