The JITM review process has been simplified using a fully online review system  at http://jitmreview.ubalt.edu/openconf/openconf.php and we only accept and reject recommendations. We will no longer provide recommendations for improvement of manuscripts submitted to the JITM. Authors should have obtained feedback and improved their manuscripts through peers, presentation in conferences, and other venues before submitting manuscripts to the JITM. Only format changes related with the JITM manuscript style will be provided to the authors.

• Accept: corresponds to the old categories of Accept without modifications and of Accept with minor modifications. In the rationale explaining this recommendation the reviews may suggest areas of improvement, if any. This information will be given to the author(s) so that they may decide to improve their manuscript, or keep as it is, but this is not a condition of the manuscript acceptance.
• Reject: corresponds to the old categories of Accept with major modifications and Reject. In the rationale explaining this recommendation the reviews may suggest areas of improvement, if any. This information will be given to the author(s) but the manuscript will not be accepted for publication in the JITM.

1. Complete an assigned review within five to six weeks. The JITM aims to provide decisions to authors in eight to nine weeks.
2. Submissions are judged using two categories: accept and reject. There is no revise and resubmit category. Comments should be terse and brief, not a contribution for paper improvement. Detailed contributions to the manuscript should have taken place in conferences, prior to submission to the JITM.
3. Favor more comprehensive studies, even if the method is not as good as it might have been.
4. Favor empirical studies versus other types of studies and manuscripts. Short studies and case study submissions are acceptable, in addition to fully developed studies.
5. There is no "type of submission" acceptable in the JITM. See what was published in the JITM for an idea of the diversity of manuscripts that were accepted by the JITM.
6. The scope of submissions to the JITM are described in the JITM Information System Scope and Topics.

1. An e-mail to abento@ubalt.edu (The JITM Editor-in-Chief) stating that you understand and agree with what is expected from a review board member.
   
2. A list of areas of the JITM Information System Scope and Topics you are interested in reviewing manuscripts, as part of the above e-mail, or as an attachment to it.
3. A resume (attached to the above e-mail), or a link to a Web page with your bio information (preferred) included in the above e-mail.
