Impact and Quality Information

IJeC’s editorial board is made up of a distinguished group of researchers in a variety of areas. Most of those researchers are housed in MIS or similar departments (e.g., Accounting and MIS, Information and Operations Management) of universities around the world.

Several of IJeC’s editorial board members and authors are among the most accomplished researchers in the world in their fields.

IJeC positions itself as a specialty A-level journal.

The expected acceptance rate of IJeC for the coming year is between 10 and 15 percent of all submitted manuscripts. Invited manuscripts, editorial notes, and book reviews are not considered in the calculation of this acceptance rate.

In terms of citation impact, IJeC’s impact factor is currently 2.15. Considering the last 10 years: the average number of citations per article is slightly over 10; the ratio of citations per author per year is 62.49; and the h-index is 17.

These citation impact measures are respectable ones for a specialty-focus journal, suggesting the perception by the research community that IJeC is serious about research and scholarship. Nevertheless, we expect to gradually improve upon these measures over the next 5 years, as we have been doing since the inception of the Journal.

IJeC is listed in the following indices and databases, among others:

ACM Digital Library
Burrelle's Media Directory
Cabell's Directory
CSA Illumina
DEST Register of Refereed Journals
GetCited
Information Resources Management Association
INSPEC
Knowledge Board
Library & Information Science Abstracts
Media Finder
Proquest-ABI/Inform
PsycINFO
Scopus
Standard Periodical Directory
The Index of Information Systems Journals
Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory

Some of the above databases (e.g., Proquest-ABI/Inform) provide access to all IJeC article abstracts as well as to full-text versions of IJeC articles.

Finally, IJeC is featured as a subscription-based holding in more than 360 major libraries worldwide according to WorldCat.
