[AISWorld] CFP: JAIS theory development Workshop associated with ICIS 2010

[JAIS]

Journal of Association for Information Systems sponsored Theory Development
Workshop Associated with ICIS 2010 in St Louis, USA

 

Dear Colleague,

 

Following the eight successful theory development workshops since December
2002, the Senior Editors of the Journal of Association for Information
Systems (JAIS) are organizing the 9th theory development workshop
immediately preceding the ICIS 2010 The theory development workshop is
tentatively scheduled on SATURDAY 11TH OF DECEMBER BEFORE THE CONFERENCE.
Exact location of the workshop will be announced later.

 

The purpose of the workshop is to promote scholarship that focuses on new
theoretical advances in the Information system field. The design of the
workshop follows the Academy of Management Review (AMR) Theory Development
Workshop format that has proved successful in promoting theory development
in that field. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their
theoretical work with JAIS senior editors, members of the JAIS Editorial
Board, and other workshop participants.  The workshop is structured to
provide detailed feedback from other researchers who are also developing
theoretical work for future journal submission.  There is no obligation for
the authors to submit their work once completed to JAIS, although JAIS is a
top quality outlet that does welcome conceptual and theoretical papers in
addition to empirical ones. In fact, six to seven papers accepted for the
workshop have been submitted yearly to the journal for publication
consideration and fast tracking. Typically 2-3 manuscripts submitted to the
workshop have been published or are accepted for publication at JAIS within
the next 14 months.

 

Prior to the workshop, participants whose papers have been accepted to the
workshop will receive one to three papers to read and review.

Reviews will follow a brief, structured format that allows participants to
critique their own papers and the papers of other participants.  Reviews
will focus on constructive comments and recommendations for ways to improve
the papers.  During the workshop, participants will meet in small groups
with a JAIS senior editor and editorial board members. During this
discussion, participants will receive specific feedback on their papers and
provide feedback to others in their group.  A JAIS senior editor and
editorial board members will facilitate the small group discussion so that
each participant gets equal time to gather comments from other members of
the group. Please consult the JAIS website for the list of Senior Editors
and the Editorial members ( http://jais.aisnet.org)

 

Selection for the JAIS Theory Development Workshop is competitive.

This workshop only addresses theory-building, conceptual foundations and
model development issues. All manuscripts must demonstrate new theory
development to be considered. Papers submitted to conferences or scheduled
to be presented at conferences (e.g., ICIS) can be sent as long as the
primary contribution is new theory development.

However, papers under review or revision at a journal are excluded.

 

The application deadline is September 4, 2009.  Papers should be no more
than 35 pages in length (max 8000 words), double-spaced, 12 point Time new
roman font or compatible size, with citations in JAIS format
(http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/format.html).  Longer manuscripts are also
considered if the length is well motivated.
