SIM is a diamond journal
type: item
description: SIM is a diamond journal Starting July 21, 2025, SIM has switched to a diamond open access scientific publication model. Our future articles will be: (1) peer-reviewed, without compromising our usual scientific standards, (2) free for all readers, (3) infinitely shareable by authors (Authors retain copyright), (4) published at no cost to authors (Free for authors). These four ingredients are the essential conditions for diamond open access scientific publishing, and SIM now meets them all. There are many advantages for authors, such as: - Articles will be accessible to everyone, provided they have internet access. There will no longer be any financial discrimination (e.g., ability to pay for paid access) or institutional discrimination (e.g., employer subscription to a package of scientific journals). This increased accessibility will rise the impact of articles and, potentially, the number of citations (Langham-Putrow et al., 2021). - Articles accepted for publication will be accessible more quickly, because we can publish the final versions of articles directly on the journal's website as soon as they are scientifically validated and accepted for publication, without waiting for the publisher to format them. - Authors will be able to continue submitting their articles to SIM while also meeting institutional requirements and guidelines encouraging open access publishing. We are the first and only fully open access journal among those classified by FNEGE (https://fnege.org/) in categories 1*, 1, or 2 in the MIS field. - Authors will be assured that articles will not be classified as published in a predatory journal. The organization behind the journal remains the “Association Information et Management”: a non-for-profit scientific society, and the chosen Creative Commons license is CC BY NC, which does not allow for any commercial profit to be made from the publication of articles. - Authors will continue to use the same submission interface on the SIM journal websi…

Mid-term review & open access granted
type: item
description: Mid-term review On January 1, 2024, I began my term as Editor-in-Chief of SIM, based on a project that aimed to reaffirm the prestige and centrality of the journal for the French-speaking scientific community in information systems management. This project focused and continues to focus on three main areas: 1. Increasing the number of articles published; 2. A new governance; 3. Shifting towards open science - open access granted. Increase in the number of articles published One important area of action aims to increase the number of articles published per year to 16, without compromising quality. Currently, we are still publishing 12 articles per year, as we have been doing for more than five years. To increase the number of submissions, several possible actions have been identified. Below are some of the pursued actions: • Reduce article publication times by tightening up the evaluation and review cycles. From January 1, 2025, to July 9, 2025, the “Days to First Editorial Decision” indicator averaged 8 days. Last year, in 2024, it was still 31 days on average. We have achieved our goal of deciding within a maximum of 15 days. We have also improved the indicator “Days to Accept” which has averaged 399 days since January 2024. Improvements are still needed on this overall indicator. • Improve communication about the journal, its visibility, and readability. The journal's website is now fully bilingual (French and English). • Present the SIM journal at conferences in related disciplines (strategy, marketing, etc.) in France and internationally. I presented the journal at a Meet the Editors session at the IAMOT technology management conference in Montreal, Canada, in June 2025. I also presented the journal in Grenoble, Toulouse, Lyon, Aix-en-Provence, and Quebec City, Canada, at various seminars and workshops. • Promote special issues. We have published a special issue on digital finance, and three other special issues are in progress on plasticity, health, and logisti…

Improving communication around the Systèmes d'Information et Management (SIM) Journal
type: item
description: The Systèmes d'Information et Management (SIM) journal continues to evolve to better meet the expectations of the Information Systems scientific community. With this in mind, recent feedback has highlighted areas for improvement in the dissemination of journal-related information. We would like to thank all those who took the time to share their observations: they will help us to move forward collectively. SIM journal has several information channels: - announcements are published on the official website, - they are shared within the editorial board, - they are automatically relayed by email to over 600 subscribers, - the journal is present on LinkedIn, via an account managed by a member of the editorial board, - and there are shared members between the SIM Editorial Board and the AIM Board of Directors. To improve the flow of information and strengthen the link with the wider community, several concrete actions have been recently undertaken. The most structural ones are: - A procedure for publication on LinkedIn has been formalized to ensure regular and consistent visibility. - A proposal to create a Communication Manager position within the Editorial Board will be put to the vote of the Editorial Board on May 21, 2025, in order to coordinate and strengthen communication actions. These measures are part of a willingness to openness and participation. We invite the entire community to : - consult the journal website regularly, - register to stay informed, - share your suggestions for improvement. We believe in an open, lively journal driven by its community. Thank you all for your commitment and trust.

SPECIAL ISSUE - CALL FOR PAPER The transformative power of digital healthcare: New challenges and research opportunities
type: item
description: SPECIAL ISSUE - CALL FOR PAPER The transformative power of digital healthcare: New challenges and research opportunities As Orlikowski and Iacono (2001) emphasize, information systems (IS) researchers not only have the opportunity to influence the future, but they also have the responsibility to do so by documenting what digital technologies change, capturing what disappears, and what is being created. In the healthcare sector, recent years have been marked by massive growth in innovations and the implementation of digital technologies: the development of mobile health (Motammarri et al., 2014; Ghose et al., 2022), the deployment of digital patient monitoring devices (Chan et al., 2020), the operationalization of integrated electronic medical records systems (Eden et al., 2022), the introduction of artificial intelligence applied to clinical diagnostics (Anichini & Geffroy, 2021, Abdel-Karim et al., 2023), the development of immersive therapies via virtual reality (Lacity et al., 2023), and the use of blockchain technology (Dubovitskaya et al., 2020). However, beyond the proliferation of innovative digital devices, what now stands out seems to be of a different order: their interdependence, which nurtures new forms of complexity, the quantification at work (data-intensive medicine), and the unprecedented modes of instantaneous calculation (algorithmic medicine) that support them, as well as the connectivity challenges (telemedicine)... all of which are dynamics that could greatly amplify the transformative power of digital technologies. Data analysis and Artificial Intelligence (AI), driven by the acceleration of data collection in the sector, are ushering in disruptions and radical innovations in healthcare. For example, rapid advancements in AI are creating new opportunities in healthcare. These technologies alone have a transformative power on the industry and society. But through their integration, their disruptive effects increase exponentially, raising new iss…
