Inaugural Information Systems Research - INFORMS ISS Paper Development Workshop for Early Career Scholars

Call for Participation

We invite early-career scholars (preferably untenured Assistant Professors) researching Information Systems (IS) and related fields to participate in its inaugural workshop which will be held on Friday, October 18, 2024, from 11 am to 5 pm, preceding the Conference on Information Systems and Technology (CIST) in Seattle, WA.

Interested authors are welcome to submit papers for possible inclusion in the workshop. Submitted papers should not be under review for journal publication. We plan to accept around 20 papers that are of high quality and/or have the potential to develop into high-quality submissions targeted toward the leading journals of the IS discipline such as ISR. Please note that not all submissions received can be accepted. Papers that are not accepted will not receive feedback.

Submissions can be on any topic of interest to Information Systems scholars and may use any research methodology (qualitative, quantitative, design, multi-method, etc.).

The selected papers will be mentored by at least two members of the ISR Editorial Board. Please note that the workshop is not associated with any publication. The goal is to offer meaningful feedback to the authors that can help enhance the quality of the paper as it is prepared for submission to a suitable journal. Authors do not have an obligation to submit the paper to ISR just because it has been accepted and discussed in this workshop. Also, please note that participation in the workshop does not imply favorable consideration or outcome at ISR.

The length of the papers submitted to the workshop should not exceed 24 pages (double-spaced, 12 font) – this includes everything, including references. The first page (not counted in the 24 pages) must have the title of the paper, the name(s), affiliation(s), and email address(es) of the author(s), and 3-5 keywords.

Please send your paper as an attachment (word or pdf format) as per the following instructions:

TO: eic-isr@virginia.edu
cc: rgc2xs@virginia.edu

SUBJECT: “Submission to the Early Career ISR-INFORMS ISS Workshop 2024”

Please include the title of the manuscript and the name of the author of the author seeking to attend the workshop (with email) in the body of the email.

 
Submissions should be sent by email between August 21 and August 25. Papers submitted before August 21 and after August 25 (midnight Pacific Standard Time) will not be considered. We will try to get back to you with the decision on your submission by Sept. 5.

We look forward to your submissions!
