[AISWorld] IJAIS & ICESAL 2011 Research Paper Development Workshop

[Constantinos J. Stefanou]

Call for Research Paper Development Workshop

“Cross-Disciplinary Research on Accounting, Information Systems,  
Enterprise Systems, and Logistics”

Jointly Organized by the
International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS) and
International Conference on Enterprise Systems, Accounting, and  
Logistics (ICESAL)

July 10, 2011, Thassos Island, Greece

The International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS)  
and International Conference on Enterprise Systems, Accounting and  
Logistics (ICESAL) are jointly organizing a research mentoring  
workshop under the theme of “Cross-Disciplinary Research in  
Accounting, Information Systems, Enterprise Systems, Supply Chain and  
Logistics.”

The workshop is designed to attract early-career and emerging scholars  
and researchers who are interested in gaining insights into high  
caliber research and publishing and whose research interests focus on  
any of the above mentioned areas or their interfaces. Workshop  
organizers are especially interested to develop cross-disciplinary  
research that will cross boundaries among the areas of accounting and  
information or enterprise systems, or of accounting and technology use  
in logistics/supply chain contexts. A major opportunity for  
participants is to gain exposure into state-of-the-art research and  
scholarly craft from the pros in the field, showcase your research  
papers and ideas, and network with other researchers in your area of  
scholarship.

The workshop will be mentored by a distinguished panel of editors and  
academic researchers from the AIS community including:

Dr. Vicky Arnold, Ernst & Young Professor of Accounting, University of  
Central Florida; Editor, Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research

Dr. Andreas Nicolaou, Owens-Illinois Professor of Accounting  
Information Systems, Bowling Green State University; Editor,  
International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS)

Dr. Constantinos Stefanou, Professor, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki

Dr. Steve Sutton, KPMG Professor of Accounting, University of Central Florida

Dr. Miklos Vasarhelyi, KPMG Professor of Accounting Information  
Systems, Rutgers University; Editor, Journal of Information Systems  
(JIS)

Interested researchers and/or young scholars should submit  
work-in-progress papers with a 5000 word maximum. Research papers  
should include, at a minimum, a statement of purpose, motivation,  
review of past literature in the area of study, contributions of the  
proposed research, and proposed methodology.  If a full-fledged  
work-in-progress paper is not available, we encourage emerging  
scholars to submit a two-page description of their research ideas,  
including summary of past research, objectives, and contributions.

Outline of the workshop program:

The workshop program will last one day and will be divided into two  
parts: A general research skills development part and a paper  
roundtable discussion part, as follows:

General Research Skills Development (morning): The mentors will offer  
insights and tips on improving participant opportunities for access to  
high impact and high caliber publishing outlets, especially focusing  
on publishing high quality research in IJAIS as well as JIS.

Roundtable Discussion (afternoon): The mentors will critique developed  
or work-in-progress papers of researchers through a roundtable  
discussion format. Admission to this section of the program requires  
advance submission and acceptance of complete or work-in-progress  
papers.

The workshop will take place immediately preceding the International  
Conference on Enterprise Systems, Accounting, and Logistics (ICESAL).  
Participation at the general research skills development workshop  
(morning) is open to all interested researchers and register  
participants of ICESAL. Admission to the Roundtable Discussion  
(afternoon) section requires participation in the general research  
skills development workshop and submission and acceptance of complete  
or work-in-progress paper.
