Co-editor update:
In 2025 I will be programme co-chair for ICIS 2025 in Nashville, TN.  As a result of this and other new responsibilities,  I have decided that it is a good time to step down from the role of co-editor in chief of Information Technology and People.

I joined the journal as co-editor to Eleanor Wynn in 2002.  At that time, we were publishing 4 issues a year and were operating a just-in-time acceptance process.  Even then we were publishing fascinating papers that explored the whole breadth of information systems phenomena in multiple geographic and organisational forms as well as theoretically driven papers that shaped and continue to inform the community.

In 2024 we received over 1600 submissions, publish 8 issues a year and have an effective acceptance rate of less than 8%.

During this time I have had the pleasure to work with excellent co-editors (previously Eleanor Wynn and Robert Davison, currently Kevin Crowston, Yulin Fang and Jyoti Choudrie) and Danielle Masursky our editorial assistant.

The SE (review manager) team I have worked with have been responsible for managing the reviews of the papers that make it through the initial screening process and so the success of the journal is driven by their excellent work.

It is particularly pleasing to see former ITP SEs taking up new positions of responsibility as AEs, SEs and EiCs for other journals in the field.
