<p class="MsoNormal">** Submissions Due: May 5, 2024<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="Default"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Information Systems Journal
</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.5pt">will be holding the <b><i>4th ISJ Trending Topics Workshop
</i></b>along with the <b><i>2024 Pacific-Asia Conference on Information Systems </i>
</b>at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The workshop will be held on <b>Tuesday</b>, <b>
July 2, 2024, </b>from <b>8:30am-12:00pm (UTC +7) </b>as an in-person pre-conference workshop. The workshop will once again be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing those authors and editors who cannot travel to Vietnam to join virtually.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="Default"><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt">* Workshop information: </span>

<p class="Default"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt">ISJ </span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.5pt">welcomes research that spans across the diverse and interdisciplinary IS field. We are interested in submissions that combine the latest technological
and digital innovations with the current context of business, economy and society. We look for research that is based on solid theoretical foundations and uses suitable research methods.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">The paper development workshop promotes scholarship that focuses on high-impact research on new trending topics in the IS field. We aim to highlight the fast-growing technological developments, such as generative
AI, that affect business organizations and society, creating new opportunities and difficulties, with more complexity and undesired consequences of technology use. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their research work with
<i>ISJ </i>editorial board members, and other workshop participants. A list of topics of interest is provided in this call, however submissions need not be limited to the list.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Following the workshop, participants are not obliged to submit their work to
<i>ISJ</i>, although the journal is a top-quality outlet that welcomes both conceptual and empirical papers. An objective of the workshop is to provide guidance for those papers that will receive feedback during the workshop will be ready for submission to
<i>ISJ </i>for publication consideration soon afterwards<i>. </i>In fact, we anticipate that a number of workshop papers will eventually be published in the journal in the coming years.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">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 roundtable. During the workshop, participants
meet in small groups where participants receive feedback from <i>ISJ </i>editorial board members and provide feedback on other participants’ papers. Senior and Associate Editors from the journal will facilitate the discussion so that each participant has equal
time to receive comments from the group’s members. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Selection for the <i>ISJ </i>Trending Topics Workshop is competitive. This workshop primarily seeks high-quality and high-impact research on trending topics. To be considered, a paper must demonstrate a significant
contribution to IS research, with or without data. In keeping withthe objective of developing potential submissions to the journal the manuscript should be in a stage of significant progress towards a potential submission.
