[AISWorld] SCIS 2015 & Journal Fast Tracking Opportunity

[Netta Iivari]

Good news! The best SCIS 2015 papers will be fast tracked to the Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems (SJIS). SJIS is the journal of the IRIS Association, the Scandinavian chapter of the Association for Information Systems (http://aisel.aisnet.org/sjis/).

The journal publishes research on development and use of information systems, and related organizational and societal issues. Research published in SJIS typically draws on the Scandinavian research traditions, emphasizing engagement with the field. However, as this line of research is not confined by geographical boundaries, the term "Scandinavian" in the title of the journal should be interpreted metaphorically rather than literally. Indeed, SJIS frequently publishes articles by researchers residing outside the Scandinavian countries. Theoretical and methodological pluralism is welcomed by the journal.

You are welcomed to submit to SCIS 2015! Please see the CFP below.

University of Oulu welcomes you to the Sixth Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS 2015) to be held in Oulu, Finland. The conference will be held in conjunction with the 38th Information Systems Research Seminar in Scandinavia (IRIS 2015). While many of the participants are from the Nordic countries, researchers from all parts of the world are warmly welcome to the conference.

Conference theme: System design for, with and by users
Information systems are in various forms embedded in everyday human practices. They have become intertwined and embedded in almost all parts of our everyday life, including leisure, thereby establishing new forms of participation and design. Hence, "users" cannot be considered as passive consumers anymore, but at least as content producers if not even as co-designers and innovators. This calls for reconsidering the traditional understandings of the roles of users and designers as well as for different development approaches that place emphasis on users' empowerment, motivation and inclusion in designing, shaping, innovating and co-creating information systems in their everyday life. The SCIS conference theme challenges IS researchers to consider these new forms of participation, persuasion and design-for, with and by users-both in the sense of understanding the phenomenon better and in devising better support for it. We also call for reflective accounts on this decades old theme that has from the very beginning characterized Scandinavian IS design.

Paper submission
SCIS 2015 is open for full research papers within the conference theme as well as other areas of IS research. We welcome empirical as well as theoretical and methodological papers. Papers are not to exceed 6000 words/16 pages. Papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNBIP instructions and submitted through EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scis2015

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series of Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP).
