University of Missouri – Saint Louis
Saint Louis, Missouri

https://mwais2018.org/

We invite submissions of completed manuscripts, research-in-progress
papers, panel proposals, and workshop proposals addressing behavioral,
organizational, and technical aspects of information systems. Two to three
parallel sessions are planned. A computer lab will be available if needed
for a workshop or panel. Submitted papers and proposals will undergo a
double blind review process by at least two reviewers. To facilitate the
blind review, include the title of the paper, names, affiliations, mailing
addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of all authors on a cover
page submitted as a separate document from the body of the manuscript. If
one or more of the co-authors are students, please clearly indicate so.
Include only the title of the paper at the beginning of the manuscript. In
the case of multiple-authorship, designate the corresponding author with a
footnote on the cover page. Please do not include any author or affiliation
identification on any page (except the separate cover page), in
headings/footers, or in the properties of the submitted file. Previously
published work or work under review elsewhere is not eligible for
submission. All submissions should be posted electronically in either MS
Word or PDF.

The proceedings will be available through the Association for Information
Systems Electronic Library (AISeL). At least one author of each accepted
paper must register for the conference no later than April 10, 2018, in
order for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

Full Length Submissions

You may submit a full length (not to exceed six single-spaced pages with
approximately 2500 words, including all figures, tables, appendices, and
references), original, and previously unpublished manuscript. The research
may be conceptual, empirical or applied. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings in their entirety. Select papers included in
the MWAIS 2018 conference will be considered for an expedited review
process and possible inclusion in the following journal:

Journal of the Midwest Association for Information Systems (JMWAIS)

http://www.jmwais.org

In addition, the top three conference papers will be awarded best paper
awards sponsored by the Midwest Association for Information Systems.
Authors of these papers who choose to submit their papers to the JMWAIS
will be awarded a monetary prize and these papers will undergo an expedited
review process by the journal.

Research-in-Progress

You may submit research-in-progress proposals (abstracts) or a summary of
tentative results of the study to date in a 1500-2000 word paper with a
maximum of 2 figures/tables.

Panel, Workshop, and Tutorial Submissions

Individuals interested in conducting a panel, workshop, or tutorial dealing
with technological, managerial, professional, teaching, societal, national
or international issues of information technology management are invited to
submit a 500-1000 word proposal covering the objectives, issues to be
covered, and the names/addresses of any other panel, workshop, or tutorial
members. The method of presentation is at the submitter’s discretion.
However, the submitter has the responsibility for providing his/her own
participants (such as panel members). All accepted proposals will appear in
the conference proceedings. (Note: All panel, workshop, and tutorial
members must register for the conference.)
