[AISWorld] AMCIS 2016 call for papers: Minitrack on Individual-Level Replication Research

[Traci Carte]

This mini-track will focus on replications of prior individual-level
research studies. Articles can either support the findings of the original
article or provide results that do not support the original article (e.g.,
nonsignificant). Both results add to our understanding of IS phenomenon.
However, only papers focused at the individual level (both theoretically
and operationally) should be submitted to this track (other tracks exist
for other levels). For work that takes a multi-level approach, authors
should use their judgement on which mini-track is best.

Certainly there are a number of individual-level studies in IS that have
formed the basis of deep and broad streams of research. Notable examples
include the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989), Task-Technology Fit
(Goodhue, 1995), and online trust (McKnight et al., 2002).  While most of
these have been extended and replicated in part or wholly, there are
certainly other studies that have impacted the trajectory of
individual-level research streams that have never been rigorously
retested. Authors submitting to this track are invited to do just that!
Replications of any form (i.e., exact replications, methodological
replications, or conceptual replications - see track description) are
welcome.  

Potential research areas that offer strong replication opportunities
include, but are not limited to:

*         IT adoption and use by individuals using theories such as TAM,
TTF, AST, etc.

*         Individual trust in technology (e.g., websites, mobile apps,
etc.)

*         Post adoptive use (e.g., exploration, exploitation, infusion,
etc.)

*         Computer self-efficacy 

*         Online purchase behaviour

*         Individual task performance with a wide variety of IT (e.g.,
information search, information security and compliance behaviours, etc.)

*         User attitudes and evaluations of IT (e.g., satisfaction,
usability)

*         Individual consequences of participation in online communities
and with social media

 

Replications are a different form of scholarship than traditional research
articles. A replication paper should very briefly introduce the research
area, present the results of the study being replicated, detail the
methods and results of the replication, and discuss the implications of
the replication; no theoretical development is needed because this has
been presented in depth in the original article. The focus is on the
results and a discussion of how they match or differ from the original
article.

Selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in AIS Transactions
on Replication Research.
