CfP 1st ISJ Trending Topics Workshop
Starting June 2021, Information Systems Journal will organize an annual paper development workshop. In 2021, we will hold the 1st ISJ Trending Topics Workshop immediately before ECIS. This workshop is scheduled to occur from 1.30-4:30pm (UTC+1) on Saturday, June 12, 2021 (tomorrow). The workshop will be conducted virtually via a video conference with breakout sessions.

Workshop information:
The ISJ encourages research that reflects the wide and interdisciplinary nature of the IS field and is looking for submissions that integrate technological advancements and digital innovations with social, contextual and management issues, based on research using appropriate research methods. With our new paper development workshop format, we aim to put a particular emphasis on the rapidly advancing technological development that may help us to deal with massive societal and health-related challenges but also confronts us with increasing complexity and unwanted side effects of technology use.
Thus, this paper development workshop promotes scholarship that focuses on high-impact research on new trending topics in the IS field. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their corresponding research work with ISJ editorial board members, and other workshop participants. Please see a list of topics of interest, below.
Authors are not obliged to submit their work to ISJ, although the journal is a top-quality outlet that welcomes both conceptual and empirical papers. It is the ISJ objective that those papers receiving feedback during the workshop will be ready for submission and publication consideration in ISJ afterwards. In fact, we are confident that a decent number of workshop papers will be published in the journal, year by year.
Prior to the workshop, participants whose papers have been accepted for discussion in the workshop, will receive one to three papers to read and review for their virtual roundtable. During the workshop, participants meet in small groups where participants receive feedback from ISJ editorial board members and provide feedback on other participants’ papers. The ISJ Senior and Associate Editors will facilitate the discussion such that each participant has equal time to receive comments from the group’s members. Please see a list of all involved ISJ editorial board members, below.
Selection for the ISJ Trending Topics Workshop is competitive. This workshop primarily addresses trending topics and significant societal issues wrapped in a high-quality and high-impact research piece. To be considered, a paper must demonstrate a significant contribution to IS research, with or without data.
We do not consider papers that are currently accepted, under review, or under revision at other journals or conferences.

  *   Inclusive digital initiatives
  *   The impact of artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning
  *   Cryptocurrencies and digital money
  *   Implications of blockchain and distributed ledger technology
  *   IS in social and political protests and issues of (in)equality and marginalized groups
  *   Dark side of technology including addiction, victimization, surveillance
