Pre-ECIS Workshop: Developing Philosophy Papers for Publication in Information Systems Journals, June 25, 2018 at the 26th European Conference on Information Systems / Portsmouth, UK (www.ecis2018.eu/http://www.ecis2018.eu/)

Overview: Philosophy papers can be difficult to publish in Information Systems, and it can be difficult to find a supportive environment in which to incubate philosophy-related works. This paper-development workshop aims to offer support for "in-development" philosophy-related papers and assist authors with developing a path to publication. Researchers with a general interest in philosophy in IS research are also welcome to attend and participate as discussants. This workshop will provide assistance and actionable advice to scholars in preparing their philosophy based papers for publication in IS journals. The aims are to:

1) Strengthen and build the community of scholars working with philosophic concepts to understand how philosophic concepts can inform analysis of information systems research. 2) Provide an opportunity for scholars to reflect and gain feedback on work in progress or receive new perspectives. 3) Provide support for researchers that are starting to explore using philosophic theory within Information Systems 4) Provide a space for scholars interested in various philosophies to engage in common theoretical debates.
