[AISWorld] Announcing the Latest Issue of The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems (49:3)

[Petter, Stacie]

We are pleased to share with you the contents of the most recent issue of The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems, which is available now in the ACM Digital Library (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=J219).  In this latest issue of The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems (Vol. 49, No. 3), learn:



- Why the information systems discipline should focus more attention on information in the editorial, "Desperately Seeking the Information in Information Systems Research" by Stacie Petter, Michelle Carter, Adriane Randolph, and Allen Lee (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242736).



- How to assess and consider determinants of information value in "Digital Information Asset Evaluation: A Case Study in Manufacturing" by Carlo Batini, Marco Castelli, Gianluigi Viscusi, Cinzia Cappiello, and Chiara Francalanci (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242737).



- The role of trust in affecting how individuals engage and commit within online communities in "The Effects of Institution-Based Trust on Community Commitments: A Regulatory Focus Perspective" by Jaeki Song, Junghwan Kim, Jason Triche, Miri Kim, Sangmi Chai (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242738).



- How security policies can affect how employees engage in security practices in "Rethinking the Prevailing Security Paradigm: Can User Empowerment with Traceability Reduce the Rate of Security Policy Circumvention?" by Soohyun Jeon, Anat Hovav, Jinyoung Han, Steven Alter (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242739).



- How individuals verify news to understand the propagation of fake news in "Epistemology in the Era of Fake News: An Exploration of Information Verification Behaviors among Social Networking Site Users" by Russell Torres, Natalie Gerhart, Arash Negahban (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242740). This paper was invited from the 2018 Hawaii International Conference for Systems Sciences.



- About the use of Hidden Markov Models to understand loan repayments "Improved Insights on Financial Health through Partially Constrained Hidden Markov Model Clustering on Loan Repayment Data" by Dibu John Philip, Nandan Sudarsanam, Balaraman Ravindran (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242741). This paper was invited from the 2018 Hawaii International Conference for Systems Sciences.



Our last issue introduced a new section called "The Philosopher's Corner." In that issue, Horst Treiblmaier offered some interesting questions to the IS discipline. Two scholars from field have shared their response to Treiblmaier's questions and ideas.



Shirley Gregor shares her thoughts in "The Value of Feyerabend's Anarchic Thinking for Information Systems Research" (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242742), and Andrew Burton Jones offers his opinions in "Questioning Assumptions in the Information Systems Discipline" (https://doi.org/10.1145/3242734.3242743).
