Focus and Scope

Brazilian Journal of Information Systems (iSys) is a scientific journal devoted to the field of Information Systems (IS) with a mission to promote and disseminate the state-of-art in the area. The journal's target audience consists of researchers, professors, students, and professionals with the aim of making a significant novel contribution to the field of Information Systems. The articles submitted to iSys should clearly demonstrate their contribution to the IS domain and focus on the foundations, design, impacts, and evaluation of IS. A wide-range of methods and methodologies can be employed, including systematic literature reviews, case studies, action research, design science, grounded theory, and theory from practice, among others. 

The scope of iSys includes the following research aspects:  

  • IS Foundation: manuscripts introducing and evaluating a theory, a concept, or a principle in the area of Information Systems. The evaluation rigor should be clearly addressed.  
  • IS Design: manuscripts focused on methodologies, description of IS, IS modeling, development of IS tools, the rule of IS in organizations and/or communities, and IS artifacts. In all cases, the evaluation and methodological rigor should be clearly addressed. 
  • IS Evaluation: manuscripts presenting new evaluation methods, as well as the assessment of IS usage in different contexts. 
  • IS Impacts: manuscripts describing or/and analyzing the political, social, financial, and cultural use of IS at organizations and/or in communities.

All accepted papers are published online as soon as they are ready, composing a single issue per year.
This model allows for faster dissemination of research results while maintaining rigorous editorial and review standards.

In addition to the regular issue, iSys may occasionally publish Special Issues dedicated to specific themes, emerging topics, or events of relevance to the Information Systems community. Special Issues follow the same editorial and peer-review standards as regular submissions and are identified within the same annual volume.
