All submissions must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings (in complete form – abstract publication is permissible). At least one author of the accepted paper must register for the workshop and be prepared to present the paper in person. Submissions must be in the form of: a completed research paper, a research-in-progress paper or a panel proposal. All completed research papers and research-in-progress papers must be in English and be carefully blinded. Submissions will be blind reviewed by at least two peers. Note that accepted papers will not be published in workshop proceedings.
Completed research papers
Completed research papers should conform to the International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS) format, which is consistent with American Accounting Association and other Elsevier accounting journals. For more details, please see the IJAIS guide for authors at the following URL: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/620400/authorinstructions
Research-in-progress papers
Submission of promising research, in its early stage, should take the form of a research-in-progress paper and be presented as an extended abstract. This abstract should include 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 workshop. Note that complete analysis of results is not required. Research-in-progress papers should be limited to approximately 4000 words.
Panel proposals
Panel proposals should be at least one-page in length and include: a general description of the topic; details of all potential panelists (including their name, affiliation, email, and a one paragraph bio); a statement to the effect that if the panel proposal is accepted, all panelists have made a commitment to serve on the panel; and a brief description of each panelists background, expertise and views on the proposed topic. The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Saturday, December 12, 2015, in Fort Worth, Texas just before the start of ICIS 2015. Participants should plan on arriving the day before for an early start at the workshop. The customary networking dinner will take place after the workshop on Saturday night (December 12). There will be a single track to maximise interaction and participation. Workshop participants, including presenters and panelists, must pay the registration fee.
BEST PAPER AWARD 2015
Two best paper awards will be announced at the workshop. One for completed research paper and one for research-in-progress paper. After meeting the required revisions, these two papers will be published in the IJAIS at the author’s prerogative.
