Periodicity: Quarterly since 1983
Publisher: ACM Press
Between 1983 and 1988 this journal was called ACM Transactions on Office Information Systems. In 1989 it was renamed ACM Transactions on Information Systems.
This is how the journal describes itself:
The broad scope of ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) appeals to industry practitioners for its wealth of creative ideas, and to academic researchers for its descriptions of their colleagues' work. Though its scope encompasses all aspects of computerized information systems, TOIS most frequently addresses issues in information retrieval and filtering, information interfaces, and information systems design.
