On behalf of the newly formed AIS Special Interest Group on
Open Research and Practice (
http://sigopen.org/) we are
pleased to remind you of the call to participate in The 2015
Developmental Workshop on Open Research and Practice in
Information Systems to be held on Tuesday, May 26, 2015
(prior to ECIS 2015 in Münster, Germany).
Workshop Overview
This full-day workshop
will provide a developmental forum for participants to
discuss and develop research-in-progress investigating a
wide variety of open phenomena and practices, such as
- the Peer Production
of Knowledge Goods (e.g. open source software, hardware,
content and design; the collaborative economy and the
sharing society; etc.),
- Collective
Intelligence, Action and Resources (e.g. open
innovation; the wisdom/wealth/power of crowds; social
media in extreme events; citizen science; volunteer
computing; crowdsourcing/funding; etc.),
- Open Science and
Education (e.g. open data/access; publishing and data
management conflicts; open teaching and learning;
micro-scholarship; open peer-review; etc.)
The workshop will focus
on small group work, with round-table discussions of
thematically linked research-in-progress, and moderated by
a member of the workshops mentoring committee.
The emphasis will be on
focused, pragmatic engagement to support researchers in
solving the problems they are presently facing with the
work (e.g. theory development, data analysis,
communication of results, etc.) There will also be
opportunities for broader discussion amongst the full
group of workshop participants.
