[AISWorld] Call for Papers: EJIS Author Development Workshop at ECIS 2013

[Tuunainen Virpi]

EJIS Author Development Workshop
Organized by the European Journal of Information Systems and AIS Region 2
In conjunction with the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013)

About EJIS
As one of the eight journals in the so called “AIS Senior Scholars’ Basket of Journals”, the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) is among the top journals in the IS field. EJIS provides a distinctive European perspective on the theory and practice of information systems for a global audience. The journal encourages first rate research articles by academics, but also case studies and reflective articles by practitioners. EJIS provides a critical view on technology, development, implementation, strategy, management and policy.

Aims and scope of the workshop
This workshop is intended to provide guidance to IS researchers interested in publishing in top IS journals, such as EJIS. It is particularly designed to assist colleagues who have not been able yet to get their work published in top outlets, but have already advanced it to a very promising state. Participants are selected on the basis of a full paper of their in-progress work.

Submission guidelines and important dates
Interested participants should send a paper (max 6000 words), with an abstract (max 200 words). The paper should start with a title page with full contact details of the author(s). Only completed research papers will be considered. Papers should be sent in word or pdf format to Dr Bjoern Niehaves (niehaves at hertie-school.org<mailto:niehaves at hertie-school.org>), clearly marked as a 'Submission to the EJIS Author Workshop' in the Subject line.
