[AISWorld] Extended deadline for CAIS special section on Emerging Ideas in Information Systems

[Ilze Zigurs]

Communications of the Association for Information Systems
Call for Papers, Special Section on Emerging Ideas in Information Systems

PLEASE SEE EXTENDED DEADLINES AT END OF THIS MESSAGE

Guest Editors:
Fred Niederman, St. Louis University
Don McCubbrey, University of Denver

We are soliciting papers on emerging ideas in Information Systems (IS) 
that provide a "breakthrough" or innovative way of thinking. Our goal is 
to stimulate original thinking and reconceptualization of existing 
observations in service to the practice of IS. Our leaning is toward 
addressing phenomena that confront leaders and workers in the IS domain as 
well as the effects of using IS beyond organizations. We emphasize the 
potential of such thinking to increase the value of our scholarly work to 
our practitioner colleagues and our students, as they serve in the role of 
change agents and entrepreneurs and engines of organizational and societal 
progress. We want to stress the forward-looking positioning of this 
endeavor.

We are particularly looking for conceptual papers or think pieces that 
will help to bring forward emerging aspects of the field.  We are also 
open to meta-analyses and literature reviews that emphasize what we have 
learned in a particular domain and what questions remain to be addressed. 
We are open to case studies and other methods that focus on practice. We 
are as interested in the details of small accumulated choices/actions as 
we are in the summary of these into the effects of large constructs on one 
another.

Review Process:
Inquiries prior to submission are welcome. Each paper will be reviewed by

developmental guidance for improving those papers that are conditionally 
accepted. Final selections for the Special Section will be made from the 
second-round submissions.
