[AISWorld] *Reminder: MISQ Special Issue on Next-Generation Theory*

[Andrew Burton-Jones]

Dear all

On behalf of the Special Issue Editors (Susan Scott, Sean Xin Xu, Brian Butler, and Andrew Burton-Jones), this email is a reminder regarding the upcoming MIS Quarterly Special Issue on Next-Generation Information Systems Theories.

The Call for Papers is available here:  https://misq.org/skin/frontend/default/misq/pdf/CurrentCalls/NextGenerationIS_Full.pdf

This email is a reminder regarding the due date for abstracts, and the date/time of our workshop at ICIS.

Submission of extended abstracts (by Nov 15)
As explained in the Call for Papers, submission of an extended abstract is not necessary to in order to submit to the special issue, but it is highly encouraged. Extended abstracts must be no longer than five single-spaced pages (including all tables, figures, and references). Authors must submit the extended abstract through the MIS Quarterly ScholarOne submission system (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/misq) by November 15, 2018.  Please see the Call for Papers for further details.

MISQ Special Issue Workshop at ICIS (on Dec 16):
All authors submitting an extended abstract will be invited to attend an *invitation-only* workshop to be held at ICIS 2018 (San Francisco), at which members of the Special Issue Editorial Board will discuss the special issue, provide high-level feedback to authors based on the issues they see in the extended abstracts, and answer authors' questions.  When we released the original call for papers in April, we were not sure of the exact day/time for the workshop, but we are writing this email to announce that it will be held on Sunday Dec 16, starting at noon.


We are excited by the potential of this Special Issue.  We look forward to reading many excellent extended abstracts and having a great workshop at ICIS.

Sincerely,

Susan Scott, Sean Xin Xu, Brian Butler, and Andrew Burton-Jones
