Dear Readers and Contributors
In this editorial, with which we ended the year 2013 I take the opportunity to remind all our readers and reviewers about the important facts surrounding our academic activities during this period:
A - 10th anniversary of JISTEM - USP - Journal of Information Systems and Technology Management
With this issue we celebrate 10 years of JISTEM, a journal that was created in 2004 along with CONTECSI - USP International Conference of Information Systems and Technology Management.
We decided to bring to mind some of the relevant facts on JISTEM´s existence, which took place ten years ago, in the third quarter of 2004 to today:
1. Papers Published : Including the present edition were published 10 Volumes, 28 issues with 223 papers selected in the "blind review" process involving about 500 authors and over 120 national and international referees.
2. Globalization of JISTEM : The 223 articles published in JISTEM were submitted from 27 different countries besides Brazil, namely: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Korea, Cuba, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Finland, France, Ghana, Greece, England, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Portugal, Czech Republic, Turkey, Uruguay, USA and Venezuela.
3. Inclusion of JISTEM in Web of Knowledge - Thompson Reuters.
Several factors contributed to this internationalization including: The publication in English, the pioneer implementation of DOI 5 years ago, the USP entry portal and the entry in SciELO Base. As announced by Thompson Reuters in: http://thomsonreuters.com/press-releases/102013/SciELO-Collaboration, the entire SciELO Base is being included in the Web of Knowledge Base. As a result the entire JISTEM base of articles and its authors become highly visible and accessible through Web of Knowledge. JISTEM´s existence is possible because the full support from USP Portal, CNPq and CAPES, Brazilian institutions dedicated to foster Brazilian science development.
As it can be read in this issue´s index the 9 articles reflect the quality and depth with which topics are presented and discussed in JISTEM
B - 10th anniversary of CONTECSI - USP - International Conference on Information Systems and Technology Management
Equally successful the CONTECSI present its 11th edition in 28, 29 and May 30, 2014, including side events of international importance as follows: 31 WCARS - USP WCARS - World Continuous Auditing and Reporting Symposium, 2nd International Panel on e-Government, 8th International Workshop of XBRL and the 1st Latin American ISACA Academic Advocates Meeting. As happens every year, the three best papers selected by the referees will be invited to submit their papers for publication to JISTEM.
The event will take place at FEA/USP Sao Paulo, Brazil on days 28, 29 and 30 of May 2014. We count with the participation of all readers not just sending papers, but also the dissemination of CONTECSI to all interested. We remind that the deadline for paper submission has been extended to the 19th of January 2014.
We wish everyone good reading
