[AISWorld] Call for AMCIS 2019 Mini-Track Proposals: Advances in Information Systems Track

[Tom Stafford]

AMCIS 2019, the 25th Americas Conference on Information Systems, will be held August 15 - 17, 2019, in Cancun, Mexico

 

Chair of the Advances in Information Systems Track: 

 

Tom Stafford, J.E. Barnes Professor of CIS

Louisiana Tech College of Business

stafford at latech.edu

 

Track Description: 

 

The Advances in Information Track serves as a nexus for *non-SIG-affiliated minitracks.* It is also the landing point for a fast-track opportunity to The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, which celebrates 50 years of continual publication this year. 

 

Our General Minitrack is the location where conference and track leaders can submit their own papers, free of conflict of interest in the review process, so that colleagues who are actively managing a Metatrack or Minitrack can have their own work independently juried for inclusion in the tracks with which they are associated, without incurring any issues of conflict of interest in the review process. Our General Minitrack also serves as a submission venue for papers that do not fit any of the primary SIG-based Metatrack themes or subthemes. To wit, papers that do not have a fit with mainstream Minitracks in any of the 30 conference SIG-based tracks can find a submission home in our General Minitrack. 

 

That said, the Advances in Information Systems Track seeks additional Minitrack proposals that are from new, nascent, emerging or as-yet unaffiliated scholarly groups who *do not currently fit* into the established SIG-based Metatrack conference structure ( and the affiliated Minitrack structure subsidiary to it) by which the AMCIS conference is normally organized. If you do not have a SIG Track to affiliate with, and you want to propose a Minitrack, propose to our Track on Advances in Information Systems. 

 

The Advances in Information Systems Track, in the past, has accommodated emergent scholarship from groups as diverse as:  “Computers in the Business & Production of Agriculture”, “IT Entrepreneurship”, “Emerging Research in IoT” and “Cognitive Research in IS.” To that end, if your group of colleagues is gaining critical mass as a colloquium of inquiry but does not yet have a SIG affiliation, or if you are a SIG that has not yet launched your own Metatrack at AMCIS, we welcome your proposal to develop a Minitrack for the Advances in Information Systems Track. We are particularly interested in new and leading-edge areas of inquiry which might prove to be provocative and interesting thematic foci for sections and issues of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, which is affiliated with the Advances in Information Systems Track. 

 

Minitrack chairs will be responsible for the following tasks and activities:

 

a) promoting their Minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2019;

b) soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the Minitrack; and

c) making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the Minitrack.

 

To submit a Minitrack proposal, you must submit the following:

 

a) Minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation);

b) Minitrack title;

c) short description of Minitrack for the AMCIS 2019 website (up to 150 words);

d) call for papers for your Minitrack.
