JAIS-endorsed Paper Development Workshop @ PACIS 2015

(http://pacis2015.comp.nus.edu.sg/pages/workshops_jais.html)

We are calling for papers for the first JAIS-endorsed Paper Development
Workshop Associated with PACIS 2015 in Singapore.

Since December 2002, the senior editors and the editorial board members of
the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) have organized
a number of successful paper development workshops associated with key
conferences in Information Systems, such as ICIS and ECIS. In 2015, they
will hold the JAIS paper development workshop in Asia with association with
PACIS 2015.

This workshop is scheduled to occur from 1-5pm on Monday, July 6, 2015. The
exact location of the workshop will be announced at a later date. The
current plan (tentatively) is to have it in the National University of
Singapore (NUS) campus.

 

Workshop information: 

The workshop not only promotes scholarship that focuses developing new
theoretical advances in the field of information systems but also encourages
research works that are of high potential impacts on the society. Workshop
participants will receive very focused and constructive discussions on their
drafts with invited esteemed scholars in the field as well as the current
and former JAIS senior editors and members of the JAIS editorial board. The
workshop provides an excellent opportunity for feedback from participants
who are also actively developing work for future journal submission that is
not restricted to JAIS. Once completed, participants are not obliged to
submit their works to JAIS, although JAIS is a top-quality outlet in the
information systems field that welcomes conceptual, theoretical and
empirical papers. In fact, a number of papers accepted for past workshops
have been submitted yearly to the journal for publication consideration and
fast tracking.

Prior to the workshop, participants whose papers have been accepted will
receive one to three papers to read and review. The reviews follow a brief,
structured format that allows participants to critique their own papers and
those of other participants. The reviews constructively comment and
recommend ways to improve participants' papers.

During the workshop, participants meet in small groups with a JAIS senior
editor, editorial board members, and esteemed scholars in the field. In
these groups, participants receive feedback on their own paper, and provide
feedback on others' papers. The current/former JAIS senior editor and
editorial board members facilitate the discussion so that each participant
has equal time to receive comments from the group's members.

Selection for the JAIS paper development workshop is competitive. This
workshop not only addresses theory building, conceptual foundations, and
model development issues but also encourages research works that are of high
impact potentials. Thus, the workshop welcomes submissions that demonstrate
new theory development and those that could potentially raise practical
interests. Papers currently under review or under revision at other journals
or conferences should not be submitted.

 

Application details: 

The application deadline is April 15, 2015. Papers should be no more than 35
pages in length (max 8000 words), double-spaced, and in 12-point Times New
Roman font, with citations in JAIS format
(http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/format.html).

(including three or four key words on the abstract page) to
