CFP: Special section - Participatory Health Information Systems: theory and applications Motivation and overview The growing acceptance of participatory medicine as an integral part of healthcare worldwide has led to the development of a new class of information systems. Participatory health information systems (PHIS) are being gradually positioned as enabling platforms for the network of support that fosters patient-centred care. This network of support consists of healthcare institutes, healthcare professionals, caregivers, family members and third party organisations. Patients, subject to their medical conditions, are also key stakeholders in this network.

PHIS enable all stakeholders to communicate, collaborate and contribute towards the patient's wellbeing. Thereby, leading to improved health outcomes, time and cost savings and an evolving body of knowledge and experiences. Improved health outcomes, time and cost savings stimulate immediate benefits in a healthcare system whereas the development of a body of knowledge not only improves quality of the PHIS but also creates a compounding effect on research in the related disciplines of clinical science and translational research. Recent advances in big data analytics is a key driver towards achieving the latter. Besides stakeholder engagement, advances in wearable technology and remote monitoring, both which feed back into PHIS, further strengthen its role as an enabling platform. PHIS are a crucial element of participatory medicine given its multifaceted disposition which also raises many challenges. Taking into consideration that participatory information systems have proven to lead to higher user adoption and better practice outcomes, this special issue is seeking studies which explore challenges of PHIS through basic and applied research.

Objectives The objectives of this special issue are: * To publish basic research on participatory factors, such as stakeholder engagement, role of data analytics and implications of adoption of pervasive devices including wearable technology on more inclusive patient-centred healthcare systems; * To publish applied research on the design, operation, use and progression of participatory health information systems. * To explore supporting topics such as policy, governance, privacy, rights and security relevant to PHIS.

Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, * Fundamental research on the role and types of participation in healthcare IS. * Application of information systems theories in PHIS. * Case studies of real-world applications of PHIS. * Systematic literature reviews from an information systems perspective.

Guest editors * Daswin De Silva, La Trobe University, Australia * Frada Burstein, Monash University, Australia * Doug Vogel, Harbin Institute of Technology, China

Deadlines * Call for papers: October 2015 - April 2016 * Deadline for paper submission: 8 April 2016

AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.

Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches.

Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed.

All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor.

AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied:

* Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline. * Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge. * Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice. * Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique. * Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit. * Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate. * Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content. * Reliability - data available; replication possible. * References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient - appropriate AJIS articles referenced * Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows.

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

AJIS is * ranked "A" by the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems * ranked "A" by the Australian Business Deans' Council * listed in the Australian Government Excellence in Research Australia register * listed in Cabell's International Directory * listed in the Index of Information Systems Journals * listed in Sherpa/Romeo as "green" * indexed by CrossRef * indexed by Directory of Open Access Journals. * indexed by EBSCO * indexed by Elsevier * indexed by ORCID * indexed by Redlink * indexed by Scopus
