PROCEDURE OF WORKSHOP DISCUSSION

With the success of the first workshop in PACIS 2013, Association for Information Systems (AIS) will hold the 2nd workshop in PACIS 2014 especially designed to assist authors who had submitted or plan to submit their work to one of the 15 journals listed at the end (including AIS-8 and 7 other journals).

 

This is an AIS-sponsored joint workshop where selected editors and authors of all AIS journals are congregating and mingling in one place.  The purpose is to have an interactive discussion between 1-2 editors and 3-4 authors on the same table. Each author can only present one paper in this workshop and is obliged to stay on the same table. There is a lunch event for all registered participants and mentors. Please note that the workshop tables are organized by research topical areas, not by journals; this allows scholars with the same research interest to exchange ideas and knowledge, leading to a potential collaboration network and a tighter AIS community.

 

The workshop welcomes authors to submit full papers, work-in-progress papers, or extended abstracts of at least 5 pages.  Authors who had submitted papers to PACIS 2014 are welcome to submit their papers again to this workshop and get a chance to interact with the editors. Each accepted paper will entitle a 15-minute oral presentation to a small group of AIS journal editors and other prospective authors in a round-table format, followed by a 30-minute interactive discussion.  The discussion following each presentation focuses on how to improve the paper for journal submission. During each session, up to 4 papers will be presented and discussed on each table; each paper will last for up to 45 minutes. To facilitate discussion, all editors and authors must read the papers on the same table before attending the workshop.

 

A number of AIS journal Editors and Senior Editors have been invited to participate and there should be enough capacity to serve a group of 40 papers. Acceptance to the workshop will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to full or nearly-completed papers.
