CAIS Special Section on “IS History”
Call for Papers

Building on a set of initiatives to collect, preserve, interpret, document and disseminate the history of the IS field (for more information, visit http://history.aisnet.org), Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS, http://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/) invites contributions to a special section focusing on IS history. Sample topics include but are not limited to the historical aspect of the following:


-          Intellectual cores and/or “schools of thought” on IS

-          Sub-areas in IS

-          Methodological approaches in IS

-          Institutional roles of the IS field in academia

-          Regional, national, and international development of the IS field

-          Events, venues, or artifacts that played important roles in the IS field

-          Pioneers/founders and pioneering activities

-          Education, curricula, pedagogy, and degree programs

-          Industry and practitioners’ side of the IS field

-          Relationships with fields outside IS

-          Origins and/or pre-history  of IS

-          Methods for conducting historical research
Manuscripts should be in English. There is no length/page limit. Authors are free to choose the most appropriate writing style that can adequately capture the historical stories. These styles may or may not be the same for reporting standard scientific inquiries.

All manuscripts should be submitted to the online review system of CAIS. During the submission process, authors should specify that the manuscript is for the Special Section on IS History. Manuscripts will be accepted on a rolling basis - there is no deadline. The special section will continuously publish papers when they are ready. All submissions will be screened by the AE of the special section. Authors may express their preference of having a manuscript editorially reviewed (by the AE) or peer reviewed, although the AE may choose a different review method should she consider it more beneficial in improving and strengthening the work further.

If you have any questions and suggestions, or if you want to have some feedback on ideas of a paper, please contact the special section AE, Dr. Ping Zhang.
