Nouvelles instruction de Daniel Palmer aux auteurs ! Lui aussi il travaille le weekend !

-----

Authors of Accepted Chapters,
Hello, all, as we are getting close to our deadline with the publisher, I am contacting you all with some final information that you will need to be aware of as you submit your final materials.  Attached are a number of items, some of which must be returned to me with your final chapter.  First, please read the final instructions for authors document, it tells you everything you will need to do in this last step of the process.  I have highlighted information in yellow that is particularly important.  In this regard, please note that you will need to create a list of 8-12 key terms for the indexer of the volume, and electronically highlight occurrences of those terms in your paper.  Please send a list of the terms chosen to me as a separate file.  As indicated, you will also need to send me a brief bio of yourself, a complete mailing address (with phone contact number for the publisher), the Author Warranty form (see attachment), and the Library Acquisitions form (see attachment).  Finally, you will need to send me the completed author checklist form (which is attached as well). Everything, including your final, copy edited draft with highlighted terms, can be sent electronically, with the caveat that the Author Warranty form can only be sent electronically if you use the digital signature program (otherwise you will need to send that document in the mail, or fax it to me at [phone]). Instructions concerning digital signatures are provided, but, again, you can send this document in the mail or fax it as well.  If you have sent me your revised versions already, and I have not asked for any further corrections, then you can complete your submissions by sending in the material requested, along with the revised version of your paper with the indexed terms highlighted (I will add Chapter numbers, so do not worry about that part).  If you have not yet given me the revised version of your paper, and go ahead and include the highlighted index terms as  well, please do so as soon as possible (and if you can not do so within the next 10 days, please let me know ASAP, so that I can talk to the publisher).  Ideally, I would like to have all final submissions, along with the supporting material, in my hands by October 5th (and if you are mailing your Author Warranty, bear in mind the time it will take to mail the form).  If this will be a problem for anyone, again, let me know as soon as possible, so that I can see what additional time, if any, we can get from the publisher.  I thank you all for your work on this volume, I am very pleased with the papers that were accepted, and think it is going to be an excellent work, if we can get all the final details in place.  As always, if there are any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Daniel Palmer

Envoie du chapitre final à l'éditeur, Daniel Palmer, après intégration des commentaires et corrections dans le manuscrit.

-----

Dear Daniel,

I am pleased to inform you that I finalized the review of the paper according to the comments I received for the reviewers and from yourself and you will find attached the final version. First of all, I would reiterate my thanks to yourself and to the reviewers for their kind support and guidance. You have help strengthen the impact of the document, its clarity and focus.

I addressed the comments received in two steps:

- for those comments which were inserted with revision marks and notes within the text itself, I clarified or corrected according to your comments and those of the reviewers.
- for those comments which were provided separately, as part of the Chapter Evaluation, I did a specific work to address all of them.

For this second group of comments, please find hereunder some specific responses:

The author uses several definitions and ideas in the introduction and background section but does not adequately cite the literature. For instance, email is defined under email structure yet no source is provided as to where that technical definition comes from.

- I have completed the introduction as well as the definition of e-mail. I have completed the list of references accordingly.

More information on some of the other types of issues explored in e-business would be informative. The author refers to “ Previous research on ethical issues in e-business mainly addresses the relation of e-businesses with their external environment” (p.2) Including some of the literature that the author is referring to would strengthen this area.

- I have completed the litterature review as to be in line with this comment.

Table 2 provides a nice “at a glance’ overview of the actions and organizational consequences with email misuse. This table should be better labeled – clearly explaining what the horizontal and vertical column headers represent.

- I have reviewed the labeling of the table, and provided an explanation of its content.

The author states in the opening that “three specific avenues are explored: modernity and communication with the “absent other”, the right of privacy, and information overload.” When these are introduced later in the chapter, they should be given some type of introduction to let the reader know that these are the three areas of exploration. Otherwise, they get lost in with the other ideas.

- The various headings as well as the introduction to this section have been reviewed accordingly, so that the reader can follow more easily and doesn't get lost.

- I have also taken good note of the references to sociatechnical theory and I thank the reviewers for these elements. I should be using them for my further research.

- I have also considered the addition of a table comparing e-mail to traditional media. However, I finally decided not to include it in this paper, since this would have requested further restructuring of the chapter. I'll neverthelss use this advice in future work.

I hope the attached paper will correspond to your expectations. Please feel free to come back to me.

Best regards,

Fernando Lagraña
