[AISWorld] AMCIS 2023 Call for Mini-Track Proposals for META-RESEARCH IN IS Track

[Michael Cuellar]

Dear AIS Members:
You are invited to submit your mini-track proposals for the “Meta-Research In Information Systems” track at AMCIS 2023. 

Meta-research (research on research) is a reflection among Information Systems (IS) scholars on issues surrounding the production of IS research. As such, it is a valuable venue for scholarly discussion within IS. It includes topics like the structure and development of the field, the core and boundaries of the field, field legitimacy, scholar/department/journal/country ranking methods, discussions of research culture and practices, methods for evaluating scholarship, literature reviews, IS methods guideline reviews, as well as novel methods, theories, and debate.The overall goal of the track is to showcase unique leading edge empirical, theoretical commentary that comprises what we call meta-research. 

Possible mini-track proposals include (but are not limited to) such areas as:

1. General Minitrack - Meta-research submissions that may not fit within more specific mini-tracks.

2. Literature Reviews - (Our most popular minitrack) - Papers that review the state of research in a particular area or in the IS field in general

3. Evaluation of Scholarship - papers that provide data and methodologies for evaluating scholarship in support of the promotion and tenure (P&T) process

4. Research Methods (Methodological Guidelines/Methodological Improvements)--Papers that provide instruction on how to perform research 

5. IS Theory Development--Papers that review the literature about individual theories, identify gaps, and issues and propose revisions to the theory. 

To submit a minitrack proposal, you will need to include a) minitrack chairs (names, emails,
affiliation); b) minitrack title; c) short description of minitrack for the
AMCIS 2023 website (up to 150 words); d) call for papers for your minitrack. Submit your minitrack proposals through the PCS system: https://new.precisionconference.com/ <https://new.precisionconference.com/>
