Review Process almost Complete
The review process is in full swing. We still have a few outstanding reviews pending, but most are in.
All the reviews are being read, compiled, and recommendations are forthcoming. Authors should hear by April 10 at the latest, although most likely this will be sooner.

Issue on Track
The response to the issue has been phenomenal. Over the past two months I have spoken with more individuals about contributing to this issue, submitting, or simply wanting to know more about the JISE itself.
We are well into the review process and working through submissions. The schedule has been shifted somewhat to allow for the number we need to work through, but this will not affect the publication of the issue.
New Schedule
- Notification to authors: March 31, 2009
- Revised papers due: April 30, 2009
- Notification of final results: May 31, 2009
- Publication of the issue: July 2009

Need a few more Virtual World Papers
The Special Issue could use a few more papers focusing on Virtual Worlds to add to the submission pool.
If you have a paper that deals with Virtual Worlds, let me know. I can extend the deadline for a week at least (and perhaps two), if we can talk about your topic.Drop me an e-mail if you would like to talk.

Still time to Submit
There has been much interest in this issue. Over the past few months, I have conversed with many over e-mail, phone, and in person, read and given feedback on a few preliminary submissions, and have already received some manuscripts ready for review.
Still, there's room for more. I would encourage those who have spoke with me, as well as anyone else who has an interest in this area to consider submitting. If you would like to talk before sending in a manuscript, e-mail would be best until the beginning of January.
I look forward to hearing from you.
