2015 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Puerto Rico, August 13-15. (http://amcis2015.aisnet.org http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/) Research Methods Track (http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/call-for-minitrack-proposals#research_methods http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/call-for-minitrack-proposals%23research_methods) Track Co-Chairs: Chris Street, University of Regina, chris.street@uregina.ca mailto:chris.street@uregina.ca Kerry Ward, University of Nebraska – Omaha, kwward@unomaha.edu mailto:kwward@unomaha.edu We invite submissions for the Research Methods Track at the 21^th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) to be held in Puerto Rico on August 13-15, 2015. While the track is open to a wide range of submission we encourage submissions that focus on the processes and procedures by which new knowledge to the information systems field is discovered and created. This includes examples of innovative applications of methodological techniques as well as discourse and description of particular methodological improvements. In addition to the traditional Research Methods track submissions, *as a new feature for 2015* we encourage submissions for presentations in two general areas: ·Demonstrating how to use new and innovative methods applied to the IS field ·Demonstrating recent advances or innovative applications of well-established methods applied to the IS field. The intent is for the presenter to demonstrate the methodology, providing an example for attendees on how to use these methods. The submission (and presentation) should include the following information: ·Overview of what is innovative about the method ·If method is a variation of an existing method, how the author’s application of the method differs from prior use ·When the method is appropriate ·Example of the method in use if appropriate ·How to use the method ·How to establish rigor and quality (e.g. Validity and reliability) ·How the method can be applied and used by others. *Important Dates:* January 5, 2015 – Manuscript submission opens February 25, 2015 – Submission Deadline May 5, 2015 – Final Decisions *Possible submission topics include, but are not limited to:* ** Use of multiple methods in coordinated research streams or a single study Examinations of problems that have been historically viewed through particular approaches, such as experiments or surveys, but are be re-envisioned using other techniques ·Best, contingent, or recommended approaches to specific qualitative methods or quantitative methods ·What IS research learn from the recently developed methods used in reference disciplines and what can it contribute to these and other disciplines; ·Whether theory matters when considering method i.e. are methods agnostic to theory ·Ethical considerations in research methods ·Use of software tools for data analysis, and related strategies ·Techniques for big data analysis ·Methodological and ethical considerations for the creation, sharing and reuse of large datasets from data available in the public domain.
