FIRSTÂ CALL FOR PAPERS ON HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS
- 2014 Research Workshop Jointly Hosted by AIS SIG-Health and SIGHCI - Associated Special Issue of AIS Transactions in Human-Computer Interaction
IMPORTANT DATES: - Research Workshop Submissions Due from Authors: May 1, 2014 - Acceptance Notifications Will Be Returned to Authors by: June 15, 2014 - Workshop Camera Ready Papers Due from Authors: July 15, 2014 - The Research Workshop will be hosted in conjunction with AMCIS 2014 in Savannah, GA, USA and is tentatively scheduled to be held on Thursday, August 7, 2014
RESEARCH WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE: The research workshop promotes the creation and refinement of scholarship that addresses the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Health and/or Wellness fields. Â Several selected papers from the workshop will be invited for further development toward publication in a special issue of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) to be titled â??HCI in Health and Wellnessâ??.
All related research topics and methods are welcomed; priority will be placed on selecting papers that: - Clearly address topics relating to HCI and Health and/or Wellness - Incorporate development and/or empirical evaluation of theory that is testable (i.e., falsifiable) - Are submitted in substantially complete form
RESEARCH WORKSHOP FORMAT: Workshop participants will discuss their work in small groups led by scholars with editorial experience in the areas of HCI, health, and wellness. Â Discussions will be facilitated so that each author has equitable time to receive feedback. Â This structure provides opportunity to strengthen the submitted papers for future journal submission.
SUBMISSION, REVIEWING, AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESSES: - Submit papers as email attachments in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format to Vance Wilson (vancewilson@gmail.com mailto:vancewilson@gmail.com). Expect your submission to be acknowledged within 48 hours. - All reviewing will be conducted in double-blind format and will be primarily performed by program committee members selected for expertise and interest in the topic area. - Notification regarding acceptance will be sent via email to the submitting author. - Because this is a workshop rather than paper publication venue, there is no restriction on concurrent submission of manuscripts to a conference (such as AMCIS) or a journal.
SUBMISSION FORMAT: Ideal papers will be no more than 35 pages in length (maximum 8000 words), double spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, following THCI guidelines (http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/authorinfo.html). Longer papers will be considered if the length is well motivated.
