We have a very special guest, Vladimir Zwass, who is both the founding and current editor-in-chief of the Journal of Management Information Systems. He founded the journal in 1984 and he has been the only editor-in-chief ever since. Also, he has no intention of handing the reins to anyone else soon. We discuss what sets JMIS apart from the other top journals in our field, what the IS world looked like at the time when the journal was founded, and whether our discipline has moved into a better space since those early days (spoiler alert: yes, it has). 

As usual, the references to readings we mention are listed on http://www.janrecker.com/this-is-research-podcast/.
