CfP 1st ISJ Trending Topics Workshop
Starting June 2021, Information Systems Journal will organize an
annual paper development workshop. In 2021, we will hold the 1st
ISJ Trending Topics Workshop immediately before ECIS 2021. This
workshop is scheduled to occur from 1.30-4:30pm on Sunday, June
13, 2021. The workshop will be conducted virtually via a video
conference with breakout sessions.
Workshop information:
The ISJ encourages research that reflects the wide and
interdisciplinary nature of the IS field and is looking for
submissions that integrate technological advancements and digital
innovations with social, contextual and management issues, based
on research using appropriate research methods. With our new paper
development workshop format, we aim to put a particular emphasis
on the rapidly advancing technological development that may help
us to deal with massive societal and health-related challenges but
also confronts us with increasing complexity and unwanted side
effects of technology use.
Thus, this paper development workshop promotes scholarship that
focuses on high-impact research on new trending topics in the IS
field. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their
corresponding research work with ISJ editorial board members, and
other workshop participants. Please see a list of topics of
interest, below.
Authors are not obliged to submit their work to ISJ, although the
journal is a top-quality outlet that welcomes both conceptual and
empirical papers. It is the ISJ objective that those papers
receiving feedback during the workshop will be ready for
submission and publication consideration in ISJ afterwards. In
fact, we are confident that a decent number of workshop papers
will be published in the journal, year by year.
Prior to the workshop, participants whose papers have been
accepted for discussion in the workshop, will receive one to three
papers to read and review for their virtual roundtable. During the
workshop, participants meet in small groups where participants
receive feedback from ISJ editorial board members and provide
feedback on other participants’ papers. The ISJ Senior and
Associate Editors will facilitate the discussion such that each
participant has equal time to receive comments from the group’s
members. Please see a list of all involved ISJ editorial board
members, below.
Selection for the ISJ Trending Topics Workshop is competitive.
This workshop primarily addresses trending topics and significant
societal issues wrapped in a high-quality and high-impact research
piece. To be considered, a paper must demonstrate a significant
contribution to IS research, with or without data.
We do not consider papers that are currently accepted, under
review, or under revision at other journals or conferences.
Topics of interest (include but are not limited to):
* Inclusive digital initiatives
* The impact of artificial intelligence, big data and machine
learning
* Cryptocurrencies and digital money
* Implications of blockchain and distributed ledger technology
* IS in social and political protests and issues of (in)equality

* Dark side of technology including addiction, victimization,
surveillance
* IS for a greener society, government, and/or industry
