Editorial Introduction - Ten Years of Development

Abstract

Ten years have passed since the inauguration of the Pacific Asia Journal of the Association for Information Systems (PAJAIS), although it seems so short. This is the last issue that I serve as the Editor in Chief. The journal starts with the goal to help scholars in the region to explore new topics, distribute research findings and share insightful knowledge. After ten years of continuous publication, the journal has become well-known in many countries and received an increasing number of high-quality submissions. Since information technologies change very fast, I intend to position this journal to be a timely publication platform so that authors do not need to endure the lengthy review process. The publication cycle from receiving the submission to paper publication is usually controlled within one to one and half years, although we may not be able to achieve that for every manuscript.
