The deadline to submit is Thursday, September 18, 2025: Extended to Thursday, September 25, 2025 11:59 pm EDT.
Research Papers
Research (including pedagogical research) papers should follow the style and submission guidelines of the Journal of Information Systems (JIS) or Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting (JETA). Papers submitted will be reviewed with the intention of identifying promising papers that may be suitable for publication in JIS or JETA. Editors from the respective journals will contact the authors of identified papers and invite their submission to their journal.
Conference submissions will be considered for best paper awards. The AIS section will award a best research paper, best education paper, and outstanding education case award. The SET section will award a best paper in both the emerging scholar and established scholar categories.

Early Stage Research Sessions
The Early Stage Research sessions are designed to allow scholars to submit early stage research (e.g., proposals, pilot studies) and receive feedback on their theory and research design before collecting data. Submissions should have clearly stated research question(s), well-developed theory and hypotheses based on the relevant literature, and a proposed research design. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages. Authors will give 10-minute presentations followed by 10 minutes of open dialogue and discussion among the session participants. Although preference will be given to early stage scholars (Assistant Professors and PhD students), all are invited to submit their early stage research for consideration. Interested scholars should indicate their interest in participation in the Early Stage Research sessions on the title page of their submission.
The deadline to submit is Thursday, September 18, 2025: Extended to Thursday, September 25, 2025 11:59 pm EDT.
Journal of Information Systems Conference
Original academic papers addressing a wide range of issues related to accounting information systems and information technology will be considered. All research methodologies are welcome, including experimental, qualitative, field study, analytical, behavioral, archival, design science, and empirical.
Papers to be considered for this conference should follow the JIS editorial policy and be submitted to JIS using the AAA’s manuscript management system. Full details are available on the journal homepage. Papers accepted to JISC-2026 will also receive a strong consideration for acceptance to JIS. Research teams are expected to improve their papers following the guidance from the reviewers and from the interaction at the conference. Recognition of the paper’s inclusion at the JISC-2026 will be noted if the paper ultimately reaches publication. Papers not accepted for the conference will continue to receive review by the Midyear Meeting research paper Chair. For questions about JISC-2026, please contact JISC guest editor: Matthew Stern m.stern@depaul.edu.

Please submit through the JIS submissions system.
Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting Conference
JETA, the research journal of the Strategic and Emerging Technologies section of AAA, invites paper submissions for its annual research conference, JETAC. The conference provides scholars in accounting and related disciplines with a platform to explore and assess the impacts of emerging technologies on accounting research and practice. Suggested topics cover a broad range, including large language models and generative AI, data and analytics in accounting and auditing, continuous auditing, blockchain, robotic process automation (RPA), Internet of Things (IoT) in accounting, smart contracts and digital currencies, and natural language processing (NLP) applied to accounting. Featuring a 17-year history and indexing in both SCOPUS and ESCI, JETA is a respected publication for academics seeking to showcase their current research among experts in their field. Submit your research directly to Daniel E. O'Leary (oleary@usc.edu) with the subject line 'JETA-C'. Authors must include the subject line indicator. Papers accepted for the JETA conference will need to be submitted to the JETA paper submission system after the midyear meeting, along with the paper submission fee. Authors will be expected to revise their papers to include editor, referee and attendee comments. The deadline for paper submissions will be September 30. Published papers will appear as part of a special section in JETA.
NOTE: All submissions will be subject to a blind review process. Therefore, submitted documents should NOT include a title page or any author identifying information. Submitting authors will be asked to copy/paste an abstract of the paper (200-400 words) into a form field, separately from the submitted document. Authors will be listed in the printed program in the order they are entered during the online submission process. PDF is the preferred format for paper submissions.
