Journal Guide

Systems Engineering , The Journal of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), is a primary source of multidisciplinary information for the systems engineering and management of products and services, and processes of all types. Systems engineering activities involve the technologies, processes, and systems management approaches needed for: definition of systems, including identification of user requirements and technological specifications; development of systems, including conceptual architectures, tradeoff of design concepts, configuration management during system development, integration of new systems with legacy systems, and integrated product and process development; and deployment of systems, including operational test and evaluation, maintenance over an extended lifecycle, and reengineering. Modern systems, including both products and services, are often very knowledge intensive, and are found in both the public and private sectors. The journal emphasizes strategic and program management of these, and the information and knowledge base for knowledge principles, knowledge practices, and knowledge perspectives for the engineering of systems. Definitive case studies involving systems engineering practice are especially welcome.

The Internet and Higher Education, a is quarterly journal devoted to addressing contemporary issues and future developments related to online learning, teaching, and administration on the Internet in post-secondary settings. It is a peer-reviewed journal intended to be a vehicle for scholarly presentation and dissemination of contributions, theoretical and applied, significantly addressing innovative deployments of Internet technology in instruction and reporting on research to demonstrate the effects of the Internet and information technology (IT) on instruction in various contexts in higher education. The journal is international and interdisciplinary, inviting contributions from across the globe and from various academic disciplines. The journal provides a venue for theory papers, research studies, critical essays, editorials, reviews, case studies, and social commentary contributions. Special issues are often devoted to specific topic areas with guest editors assisting in the editorial process.The scope of the journal is broad in terms of the range of issues and trends to be addressed, for example, innovations or best practices in online teaching, learning, management, and administration. Other issues may include: Internet technology design and use; instructional models in online courses; online course development and instructional design; interaction in online courses; collaborative learning; usability and evaluation of online environments and portals; online communities of practice; institutional policies, standards and assessment; accessibility standards in online instruction; internationalization and cultural aspects of online classrooms; and issues and trends in synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid online learning.

This journal addresses the accessibility, usability, and, ultimately, acceptability of Information Society Technologies by anyone, anywhere, at anytime, and through any media and device. Universal Access in the Information Society (UAIS) focuses on theoretical, methodological, and empirical research, of both a technological and non-technological nature, that addresses equitable access and active participation of potentially all citizens in the information society. It features papers that report on theories, methods, tools, empirical results, reviews, case studies, and best-practice examples. The Journal's primary objectives are to: - provide an archival publication channel for the discussion and advancement of theoretical and practical aspects of universal access in the information society - facilitate the rapid and wide diffusion of scientific and technological results that promote universal access in the information society - stimulate cross-fertilization between the different contributing disciplines.

The VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems explores information and knowledge from a content management/library science perspective.
