Eighth International Research Symposium
on Accounting Information Systems
December 8-9, 2007
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
(in coordination with ICIS 2007)
Call for Papers
In December 2007, in coordination with ICIS 2007, the Eighth Annual International Research Symposium on Accounting Information Systems will be jointly held with the Fifteenth Accounting Information Systems Research Symposium in Montreal. The symposium, which is sponsored by SIG-ASYS (Special Interest Group on Accounting Information Systems) and the International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS), will feature research papers and one or more panels that focus on the link between accounting and information systems research. The Symposium is particularly interested in interdisciplinary papers that draw from accounting, psychology, cognitive science, behavioral science, economics, computer science, and/or information technology. High-quality, insightful, and theoretically sound studies of any type (action research, archival analysis, behavioral/experimental, design science, surveys, theory development, etc) are equally encouraged.
All submissions to IRSAIS 2007 must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings (in complete form — abstract publication is permissible). If the work has been presented at another conference or is currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere, the authors must disclose this fact.
At least one author for every accepted paper and all members of every accepted panel must register for the symposium and be prepared to present their ideas in person. Authors of accepted submissions must address the suggestions (if any) of the reviewers, and submit an electronic copy of the final version of the work by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will be tantamount to withdrawing this work from further consideration and it will not be included on the final program.
Submissions may be of three types: Completed research papers, research-in-progress papers, and panel proposals.
Completed research papers
Completed research submissions constitute a submission to IJAIS and such papers that are accepted for the Symposium will be published in an issue of the journal. Authors will need to revise the manuscript subsequent to presentation to address symposium comments and meet any additional requirements of the journal editor. Papers should conform to IJAIS format, which is consistent with other Elsevier accounting journals.
Research-in-progress papers
Submission of promising research in its formative stages does not require complete analysis of results. Submissions should include a one-page abstract and a paper that includes the following sections: research objectives and questions, theoretical foundations of the study, research methodology being used, current status of the project, and a description of what the authors propose to present at the conference. These papers do not constitute submission to IJAIS, but will be eligible for fast track review through the journal subsequent to presentation if desired by the authors under advisement from the journal editor.
Panel proposals
Panel proposals should include a general description of the panel, names and affiliations of all panel participants, a statement to the effect that all participants have made a commitment to serve on the panel (if it is accepted), a brief description of each participant's background and expertise related to the panel topic, and a description of each participant's views on the topic.
For completed paper and research-in-progress submissions, authors should identify themselves and provide contact information only on the cover page, as these submissions will be blind reviewed. The second page of the paper should consist of an abstract plus a list of key words describing the main topics of the manuscript (the MISQ keyword list is recommended for use). Papers and panel proposals should be double-spaced to facilitate editing. The manuscript or proposal plus any supporting documentation (such as survey instruments) should be sent as e-mail attachments (in Word format) to both:
