[AISWorld] JAIS New Submission Category - "Dialogue"

[Gregor, Shirley]

The Journal of the Association for Information Systems is pleased to announce a new "Dialogue" category for submissions,
see 
http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/authorinfo.html

Dialogue submissions for the current JAIS Special Issue (2012 April/May) on the History of the IS Discipline are encouraged by the Guest Editors Rudy Hirschheim, Carol Saunders and Detmar Straub. 

The Dialogue Category:
    Dialogue articles are short essays that respond to an article published in JAIS. These articles can be unsolicited or solicited. A set of dialogue articles may be invited on occasion: for example, in response to a JAIS special issue.

    While others may arise in the future, the current aims of dialogue articles are:

    • Elaborating or extending the original article to show how it can be developed further;
    • Challenging or critiquing the views in the original article; and
    • Presenting alternative perspectives to those advanced in the original article.

    Dialogue articles should be short. The preferred length is 3-5 pages; however, we accept articles up to 10 pages long. Authors of these articles may quote from the original article to indicate which points they are addressing. Moreover, dialogue articles should be submitted in a timely manner following the appearance of the original article.

    Dialogue articles do not go through the usual JAIS peer review process. First, one or more of JAIS’s senior editors will assess their general interest, contribution, and suitability. Further consideration depends entirely on the discretion of these assessors. If the article is believed to be sufficiently interesting, reviewer(s) who are knowledgeable in the field will further asses it. Authors should feel free to discuss an idea for a dialogue article with any member of the Senior Editors Board.

    In cases where the dialogue article challenges or critiques an article, the author(s) of the original article is offered the opportunity to respond.

Dialogue example:
Goodhue, D. L. (2007). Comment on Benbasat and Barki’s "Quo Vadis TAM" article. Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 8(4), 219-222.
