[AISWorld] AMCIS CFP: SIG-ADIT Track with Fast-track Journal Publication at Internet Research

[Hamed Qahri-Saremi]

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Adoption and Diffusion of IT (SIG-ADIT)

Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Minneapolis, Minnesota,
USA August 10-14, 2022
https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/


Dear Colleagues,

SIG-ADIT invites your submissions to its track at AMCIS 2022. This track seeks to be a forum for high-quality research that theoretically and/or practically provide valuable insights into the issues related to the adoption and diffusion of digital innovations and technologies at all levels of analysis and their bright and dark consequences. This includes the application of all types of research methodologies.

High quality and relevant papers accepted in SIG-ADIT track will be selected for fast-track journal publication opportunity in Internet Research. Internet Research (https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/intr) is indexed and abstracted in major databases (e.g., SSCI, SCI, ABI/INFORM Global), with the impact factor of 6.773 and the five-year impact factor of 7.089.

This year, SIG-ADIT track offers the following minitracks.


Adoption and Use of Immersive Systems
Immersive systems can enhance the user’s perception of reality and alter their behavior and IT use. The immersive system has been widely used in various practice, such as digital learning, organizational training, digital marketing, fitness technology, and computer/video games. The immersive technology includes such categories as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (VR/AR), and interactive storytelling et al. To better understand the role of immersive system and technology in IT use and adoption, this track sets out to invite high quality research on immersive systems. We welcome research using a variety of methodologies, and at any level of analysis, such as quantitative method (experimentation, survey, and analysis with observational data etc.), case study, theory development, and design science etc.

Emerging IT design and adoption
User experiences with emerging information technologies (IT), such as blockchains and artificial intelligence (AI), depend on their designs. The designs, however, may not turn out to have the exact effects as expected. For example, features related to utility and privacy may be contradictory to each other. Currently, there is a lag between academic research and industrial practice. It is expected that theoretical discussions and empirical studies may yield deeper insights and provide theoretical and practical guidelines. We solicit expositions and investigations of both qualitative and quantitative natures. Analyses at different levels (individual, group, organizational, societal, and cultural) using a variety of methods (e.g., survey, case study, ethnography, big data analysis etc.) are all welcome. Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to, the design and adoption of AI-based systems, blockchain applications, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, virtual reality, social platforms, enterprise systems, and so on.

Adoption and Use of Ambivalent Information Technologies
Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are perceived as having the potential to both benefit and harm users and organizations, rendering them a double-edged sword. Ambivalent IT comprises a wide range of IT that we use today; some examples include smartphones that can be both beneficial and harmful for the users, work emails that despite their flexibility and connectivity benefits can be interruptive for the work, and security software or access control tools with benefits that can come at the cost of security and privacy intrusions. As a result, adaptors and users can have mixed attitudes toward ambivalent IT. Currently, there is a paucity of research in the IS literature for this up-and-coming research area. This minitrack provides a forum for the exchange of research ideas regarding the antecedents, processes, and issues related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and their potential impacts for users, organizations, and the society.
