The itSMF International will be publishing a research journal for the IT Service Management community. The journal will provide an independent platform for the publication, and debate, of original, high quality, peer-reviewed research into aspects of IT Service Management. In time it is hoped that the journal will be in a position to suggest and sponsor lines of enquiry for research and keep a register of research in progress.

The Journal is aimed at the global community and will be registered as an academic journal with the appropriate bodies. The Journal will be owned by the itSMF International and will accept sponsorship and advertising, but will maintain a strictly independent editorial board.

The first phase of implementation is a consultation exercise. This will establish a committee to define the editorial policy and business model for the Journal. Once this has been established, an editorial board will be appointed.

The itSMF International is seeking stakeholders in Service Management research to assist with the consultation. 

To participate in the journal effort please register at the itSMF International Discussion Forum (http://www.itsmfi-forum.org), if you are not already registered. There is a Journal discussion forum available there with restricted access. Once you have been registered, please send an e-mail to: info@itsmf-egypt.org and we will set you up with the proper access.
