Abstract
Welcome to Data Base 2.0! Things are different, now; it's a new year and a new publication. A new editorial team is in place and we have new financial supporters to support the editorial process. This permits us to undertake initiatives to increase the scope and impact of Data Base. We are promoting new topic coverage and geographical coverage, we have a new scope, and we are building the basis of a new level of impact for this important ACM publication, as part of this new initiative.It's an all-new Data Base, with global editorial coverage and a new online manuscript submission and review system to facilitate global participation by the community of information systems and technology scholars. Visit our new Internet resources at http://the-database.org.I'm Tom Stafford (tstaffor@memphis.edu), Editor-in-Chief, stationed at the logistics hub of the West in Memphis, Tennessee; my Global Co-Editor, Patrick Chau (pchau@business.hku.hk), is stationed at the logistics hub of the East in Hong Kong. Together, with an online review system stationed online at Editorial Manager.com (http://www.editorialmanager.com/SIGMISDB), and citation analysis and impact scoring evaluated by Thompson Scientific, we anticipate greatly increased global presence and visibility with this important publication.In a field where we admittedly do not provide enough premium publication outlets for our scholars, it's time to start building a new premium marquee. That marquee is the new, improved, and ever-popular Data Base for Advances in Information Systems.As we undertake this important new initiative, we owe everything we intend to do to the diligent and successful efforts of Dorothy Leidner and Wynne Chin, who have nurtured and grown the publication thus far - building visibility, maintaining rigor and standards, promoting access and participation. We take what they have built and launch it on a truly global scale with the innovation of global editorship and global editorial access through our online review system.We continue to benefit from the sage advice and superior production capabilities of the prior technical management team, and are thoroughly pleased to announce that Managing Editor Andrew Schwarz and Technical Editor Denny Kramer continue with us through this important evolution in the growth of Data Base. In the interim period of transition to new editorial offices and the online review system, Andrew will continue to field new manuscript submissions via email (aschwarz@lsu.edu), while Denny (denny_kramer@baylor.edu) continues to prepare manuscripts in flow for completion and publication.It's new, it's important, and it's going places, world-wide: the new Data Base. Please join us as we grow!
