The Information Systems Journal (impact factor: 7.453) is inviting submissions that will advance our understanding of the role of information systems (IS) in sustainable development. We especially welcome completed empirical studies that contribute to the attainment of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including, but not limited to, those investigating interventions to mitigate climate change, advance sustainable business models, and encourage the adoption of behaviors that reduce environmental impact.

The CFP is now available at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/13652575/ISJ_Information%20Systems%20and%20Sustainability_Call%20for%20PapervEXTENDED-1625581247577.pdf

Examples of topics that would be appropriate include, but are not limited to, the following:

* The influence of IS on the SDGs (e.g., environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, improving health and education, etc.)
* The relationships between the SDGs and the process and nature of systems innovation
* Organizational strategies for leveraging IS toward environmental, economic and social sustainability
* Theories and concepts related to IS-enabled forms of sustainable development that have been applied successfully
* The role of the SDGs on Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D) research and practice
* The formation of digital ecosystems for sustainable development
* The design of sustainable information systems and information services
* The development of smart cities and their implications for sustainable development
* The role of social media and digital channels in promoting the awareness and adoption of SDGs and sustainability lifestyles
* Applications of emerging technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, Internet-of-Things, etc.) in sustainable development
* New ICT-enabled or platform-based business models that contribute toward sustainability
* Critical perspectives on the SDGs and the role of IS toward achieving them

The formal submission deadline is Jan 31, 2022 and will not be extended. All manuscript submissions will go through an initial round of screening by the special issue editorial board to ensure that they fit the objectives of the special issue and the Information Systems Journal, and can be reasonably improved during the stipulated time frame.

For formatting criteria, authors should refer to the Information Systems Journal website (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/13652575/homepage/ForAuthors.html<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/mQPKCP7LAXfKN5RWru0grrU?domain=onlinelibrary.wiley.com>). Manuscripts that pass initial screening will go through the Information Systems Journal review process. It is expected that a manuscript will go through a maximum of three rounds of revision.
