AJIS Paper Development Workshop

Michael Davern and Stuart Black

The purpose of the workshop is to develop and nurture research in the region, consistent with the current goal of AJIS to promote “interesting and sufficiently rigorous” research.

We welcome work-in-progress or early full-draft papers on any IS topic within the scope of AJIS.  A workshop submission does not bind authors to submit the paper to AJIS, nor does acceptance at the workshop guarantee the paper will ultimately be accepted for publication in the journal. 

The workshop will run for a full day and is an opportunity for scholars to share their developing works.  We envisage a mix of brief workshop presentations, together with individualised and small group mentoring, feedback and guidance provided by the AJIS editorial team and other senior academics.  As this runs concurrently with the ACIS Doctoral Consortium, doctoral consortium participants should not apply.

Author Registration Required before 21 November

Submissions should be at least 10 pages (excluding references and tables) and follow the usual author guidelines for AJIS.  We stress that this is not an idea development workshop – we are focused on helping ‘unstick and extend’ current research initiatives and accelerate their path towards publication.  Early-career researchers are encouraged to apply, but the workshop is not restricted to early-career researchers.

Submissions should be submitted to the Co-Editors-in-Chief at ajis.eic@aaisnet.org.  Together with your submission please indicate which author or authors will be attending the workshop if the submission is accepted.  Only authors of accepted papers will be permitted to attend the workshop.

Submissions will be desk reviewed by the AJIS editorial team with decisions made on a rolling basis until the workshop reaches capacity, or until November 21. Please indicate what you would like to get out of the workshop with your submission.

Shaping Digital Futures: Information Systems Research Aligning the People, Process, Data and Technology Paradigm

Hamed Sarbazhosseini, Sahber Monshizada, Sisira Adikari, Dany Duong and Yogaraj Sivapragasam

The people, process, data, and technology (2PDT) paradigm is not new to IS scholars. However, with the recent advancements in IS research such as the demand towards AI or Cybersecurity or even IS in social context, it is expected that this paradigm can contribute to newer body of knowledge that may not have been explored previously. In this workshop, we aim to firstly share our recent findings and contributions in different contexts utilising the 2PDT paradigm including AI capabilities, Cybersecurity for Australian Medical Practices, Singapore’s construction 4.0 roadmap, system and thinking design, and even from a management perspective. In this step, we first present five different literatures in IS and discuss variations of 2PDT to shape research questions, design, data collection and analysis.

Secondly, we aim to evaluate the 2PDT and receive input from participants. We engage and collate inputs from participants and the context of their respective interests or expertise. Lastly, the revised paradigm is summarised and contributions to possible body of knowledge will be discussed.

Discover new tools to help you navigate the literature

Sander Zwanenburg, Sebastian Boell and Blair Wang

This workshop will focus on enhancing participants’ ability to navigate the bodies of literature relevant to Information Systems (IS) research. In doing so, this workshop works towards a secondary objective of supporting participants’ ability to conduct literature reviews. These objectives are achieved through the demonstrated use of two tools: LitBaskets and PermuSearch, and a discussion of how they can be used with other tools.
