Free Online Sample Copies Now Available For New Journals

HERSHEY, PA February 25, 2008 IGI Global is pleased to announce 
that free sample issues of new journals are now available online. 
By utilizing the full-text PDF journal sample, researchers will 
be able to discover the technological innovations and findings 
now available in the three new 2008 journals: the International 
Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management, the 
International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems 
Approach, and the Journal of Information Technology Research.

The International Journal of Information Systems & Supply Chain 
Management (IJISSCM) -- editor-in-chief John Wang of Montclair 
State University, USA -- examines current, state-of-the-art 
research in the areas of supply chain management (SCM), and the 
interactions, linkages, applications, and support of SCM using 
information systems.  The journal encompasses theoretical, 
analytical, or empirical research, comprehensive reviews of 
relevant research, and also case studies of effective 
applications in this area.  A free copy of the inaugural issue, 
containing five articles such as The Impact of Information 
Technologies on the US Beef Industry's Supply Chain and Balancing 
Accuracy of Promised Ship Data and IT Costs, can be downloaded 
at: http://www.igi-global.com/downloads/samples/JISSCM.pdf.

Editor-in-chief, David Paradice, has a new 2008 journal entitled 
the International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems 
Approach (IJITSA).  The journal is an applied and theoretical 
research, refereed, international journal, providing coverage of 
the foundations, challenges, opportunities, problems, trends, and 
solutions encountered by both scholars and practitioners in the 
field of information systems (IS) when applying the systems 
approach.  IJITSA's inaugural issue contains six fascinating 
articles such as Information Systems, Software Engineering, and 
Systems Thinking: Challenges and Opportunities and Do We Mean 
Information Systems or Systems of Information? and can be 
downloaded for free at: 
http://www.igi-global.com/downloads/samples/JITSA.pdf.

The third journal to be released for the first time in 2008 is 
the Journal of Information Technology Research (JITR).  JITR, led 
by editor-in-chief Mehdi Khosrow-Pour from Information Resources 
Management Association, USA, provides evidential research on 
groundbreaking and emerging areas of information science and 
technology, with particular focus on breaking trends in medical 
informatics, social computing and biotechnology.  The journal 
expands the availability of the most prominent, principal, and 
critical concepts that will form the knowledge society of the 
future.  With articles such as Fuzzy Logic in Medicine and Agile 
Software Processes for the 24-Hour Knowledge Factory Environment, 
the inaugural issue can be downloaded for free at: 
http://www.igi-global.com/downloads/samples/JITR.pdf.
