Dear Afrik-ITes,
Last week, the UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development) issued its "E-Commerce and Development Report" for 2002.
You can find the report here:
http://r0.unctad.org/ecommerce/ecommerce_en/edr02_en.htm. There is
also an executive summary.
UNCTAD has invited the Electronic Journal of Information Systems in
Developing Countries (www.ejisdc.org) EJISDC to review this report.
The report itself is some 280 pages long, and is divided into some
nine sections.
It seems that this invitation provides a unique opportunity for as
many of us as are interested to contribute to this review.
Consequently, the EJISDC is organising a special issue that focuses
on the issues raised (and not raised) in this report. For this
special issue, we are inviting opinion papers or commentaries, not
full research papers. We anticipate that these papers will generally
not exceed 2500 words in length and will furthermore focus on
particular sections of the report. The special issue will be the
EJISDC's review of the UNCTAD report.
We would like to invite authors who are interested in contributing to
this special issue to contact the editors of the journal. The
deadline for registering this initial statement of interest is
December 31st, 2002. We will then work with these authors to craft
the special issue. We anticipate that completed commentaries will
need to be finished no later than February 28th, 2003, and that the
special issue itself will be published shortly thereafter.
We look forward to your participation.
Best wishes,
Robert Davison, Editor-in-Chief, EJISDC
