Call for Papers for the JAIS-sponsored Theory Development Workshop associated with ICIS 2019 in Munich, Germany.
Dear Colleague:
Since December 2002, the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) has organized a number of successful Theory Development Workshops. In 2019, they will hold the 17th JAIS Theory Development Workshop immediately before ICIS 2019. This workshop is scheduled to take place from 1:30 – 5:00 pm on Sunday, December 15, 2019. The exact location of the workshop will be announced at a later date.
Workshop information
The workshop promotes scholarship that focuses on new theoretical advances in the information systems field. Workshop participants discuss drafts of their theoretical work with JAIS board members, and other workshop participants.
Authors are not obliged to submit their work to JAIS, although the journal is a top-quality outlet that welcomes conceptual, theoretical, and empirical papers. In fact, a number of papers that have received feedback in past workshops have been submitted to the journal for publication consideration each year, and some have been published.
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. The reviews follow a brief, structured format, and they are intended to be constructive, offering recommendations for moving the work forward.
During the workshop, participants meet in small groups where participants receive feedback from JAIS board members and provide feedback on other participants’ papers. The JAIS board members facilitate the discussion such that each participant has equal time to receive comments from the group’s members. Please consult the JAIS website for the list of senior editors and the editorial board members (http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/).
Selection for the JAIS Theory Development Workshop is competitive. This workshop primarily addresses theory building, conceptual foundations, and model development issues. To be considered, a paper must demonstrate significant theory development, with or without data. Please note that there is a small fee associated with attending the workshop.
Papers currently accepted, under review, or under revision at other journals or conferences should not be submitted.
Application details
The application deadline is Sunday, September 29, 2019. Papers should be no more than 35 pages in length (max 8,000 words excluding abstract, references, tables, and figures), double spaced, and in 12-point Times New Roman font, with citations using APA 6th ed. style citations.
To submit a paper to the workshop, email an electronic copy of your paper in WORD or PDF format (including an abstract and three or four keywords) to jaistdw@gmail.com Include in the body of the email the name, institution, and email address of each author. The review process is double-blind, so any author identifying information should only appear in the body of the submission email (and not in the attached copy of the submitted paper).
We will acknowledge your submission by October 1, 2019. If we have not acknowledged your submission by this date, then please email us directly at jaistdw@gmail.com after this date about your submission’s status. Individuals selected as participants will be notified on or before November 1, 2019.
