[AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue "Digital Responsibility: Social, Ethical, and Ecological Implications of IS" Submissions due 3 November 2023

[Recker, Prof. Dr. Jan Christof]

The Journal of the Association for Information Systems<https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais> (JAIS) is organizing a special issue on Digital Responsibility: Social, Ethical, and Ecological Implications of IS.

Submission deadline is 3 November 2023.

The key theme of the special issue is the investigation of digital responsibility as an organizing construct for IS research that aims to inform the balancing of ethical and humanistic tensions pertaining to the rapid proliferation of digital technologies. The lens of digital responsibility necessitates that we embark upon rigorously analyzing, explaining, predicting, as well as influencing, the potential costs, duties, and obligations of decisions that relate to the development, implementation, and use of digital information and communication technologies. Unpacking the phenomenon of digital responsibility should be of utmost concern to IS researchers - and this is the central theme of this special issue.

Motivation, focus, scope and process of the special issue are explained in the call for participation, which is available from the JAIS webpage: https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/SI-DigitalResponsibility.pdf

Submissions to the Special Issue will close on November 3, 2023. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit initial versions of their paper to the conference theme track "Digital Responsibility" of the 2023 "Wirtschaftsinformatik" Conference (Sep 18-21, 2023, Paderborn, Germany) but submission or participation at the conference is no requirement for submitting to the special issue. A paper development workshop will be held in May 2024 for authors of papers that advance beyond the first round of reviews. We plan for an in-person event but we will also make online participation possible.

Submission to the special issue will be made via Scholarone<https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jais>. Submissions must follow the JAIS submission guidelines<https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/authorinfo.html>. Any questions about the special issue, please contact the editorial team at jaisdigitalresponsibility at gmail.com<mailto:jaisdigitalresponsibility at gmail.com>.

We look forward to your contributions.
