[AISWorld] Call for Papers: Critical Realism in Information Systems Research -- MIS Quarterly

[Jan DeGross]

The MIS Quarterly invites submission of unpublished, original research 
for a Special Issue on Critical Realism in Information Systems Research. 
Critical realism has begun to make headway within information systems 
with contributions at the level of philosophy and theory, as well as 
empirical studies. We invite papers that will help to establish the 
relevance and utility of critical realism as an underlying philosophy 
for information systems and information technology research. We do not 
seek narrowly philosophical papers, but ones that are critical and 
reflexive in their approach. We would particularly welcome papers that 
are practical in their contribution, either in terms of developing or 
explaining particular methodological approaches, or illustrating the 
contribution of CR with real empirical examples. Papers must refer to 
some aspect of the IS discipline, as exemplified in the traditions of 
this journal.

Guest Editors:
John Mingers, Kent Business School
Alistair Mutch, Nottingham Business School
Leslie Willcocks, London School of Economics

The submission deadline for this special issue is November 1, 2011.
