Doctoral Consortium Call for Papers

BIR 2020 invites papers for the Doctoral Consortium of Business Informatics Research. Papers must be related to the topics of the BIR 2020 Conference.

The Doctoral Consortium of Business Informatics Research is intended to be a forum for researchers that are doctoral students with the purpose to present their research work. The participants in the Doctoral Consortium will have the opportunity to present their papers, engage in discussions with the faculty members and receive feedback from them in order to improve their research work. Moreover, the participants in the Doctoral Consortium will have the opportunity to identify research issues that are related to their research interest and exchange knowledge with other doctoral students.

Papers Selection

All the papers submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will be reviewed by two faculty members who are senior researchers in business informatics. The papers will be evaluated based on the following criteria: relevance, originality, appropriate research methodology, research contribution, and clarity. The accepted papers will be discussed with the faculty members. The authors of accepted papers will be invited to revise their papers based on the feedback received from the reviewers of the Doctoral Consortium and resubmit it for publication in the CEUR-WS proceedings. The authors will have the opportunity to present their accepted papers in the Doctoral Consortium, engage in discussions with the faculty members and receive feedback from them in order to improve their research work.

Papers should reflect the current status of the author's PhD project, presenting a problem statement and research questions, scientific framing against existing literature in the problem domain, the research design and method, the proposed contribution and results achieved so far, as well as existing or planned evaluations of the contribution.

Submission Format and Publication

The papers should be submitted via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bir20200. We welcome to receive full papers (12 pages) or short papers (6 pages). The papers should be in PDF format and be prepared using the Springer guidelines and the template available here http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
