Ingenierie des Systemes d'Information (ISI) is a top-rated international journal devoted to promoting innovative approaches or practices for the design and application of information systems. The journal, on the one hand, tackles hot topics on information systems, such as modelling and metamodeling, design and redesign, maintenance, integration, security and regulatory issues, database issues and/or information retrieval, and, on the other hand, deals with emerging sub-domains and original applications of information systems. The papers submitted to the journal should offer approaches that can adapt to the diverse application environments (e.g. centralized, distributed, mobile and peer-to-peer environments), handle future challenges on information systems, and enrich the exchanges between researchers.
Focus and Scope
The ISI welcomes original research papers, technical notes and review articles on various disciplines, including but not limited to:
- Modelling and metamodeling of information systems
- Design and redesign of information systems
- Maintenance of information systems
- Integration of information systems
- Security and regulatory issues
- Database issues
- Information retrieval
Publication Frequency
The ISI is published regularly by the IIETA as of 2019, with six regular issues (excluding special issues) and one volume per year.
Peer Review Statement
The IIETA adopts a double blind review process. Once submitted, a paper dealing with suitable topics will be sent to the editor-in-chief or managing editor, and then be reviewed by at least two experts in the relevant field. The reviewers are either members of our editorial board or special external experts invited by the journal. In light of the reviewers’ comments, the editor-in-chief or managing editor will make the final decision over the publication, and return the decision to the author.
There are four possible decisions concerning the paper: acceptance, minor revision, major revision and rejection. Acceptances means the paper will be published directly without any revision. Minor revision means the author should make minor changes to the manuscript according to reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version to the IIETA. The revised version will be accepted or rejected at the discretion of the editor-in-chief or managing editor. Major revision means the author should modify the manuscript significantly according to reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version to the IIETA. The revised version will be accepted or rejected at the discretion of the editor-in-chief or managing editor. Rejection means the submitted paper will not be published.
If a paper is accepted, the editor-in-chief or managing editor will send an acceptance letter to the author, and ask the author to prepare the paper in MS Word using the template of IIETA.
Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is committed when one author uses another work without permission, credit, or acknowledgment. Plagiarism takes different forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. The IIETA uses CrossRef to screen for unoriginal material. Authors submitting to an IIETA journal should be aware that their paper may be submitted to CrossRef at any point during the peer-review or production process. Any allegations of plagiarism made to a journal will be investigated by the editor-in-chief or managing editor. If the allegations appear to be founded, we will request all named authors of the paper to give an explanation of the overlapping material. If the explanation is not satisfactory, we will reject the submission, and may also reject future submissions.
