The purpose of the workshop is to develop and nurture research in the region, consistent with the current goal of Australasian Journal of Information Systems (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. Please note the Registration Deadline for Authors.
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 Registration Deadline for Authors. Please indicate what you would like to get out of the workshop with your submission.
Note: To gain the most out of this workshop, please bring a laptop or tablet computer.
