Workshop Aims
The aim of this tutorial-style workshop is to assist researchers who are
seeking to publish work in the Journal of the Association for Information
Systems (JAIS) or journals of a similar nature. The workshop will discuss
how to present work in terms of style and structure and also how to better
demonstrate a contribution to knowledge and theory.
Workshop Agenda
The workshop will begin with an overview of JAIS, the categories of papers
that are published and the editorial process. There will then be sessions
concerning writing strategies and structuring and positioning of papers, so
as to improve the chance of publication of submitted work.
In the workshop we will focus on three genres of research articles: (i)
theoretical model development with quantitative approaches; (ii) theory
development with qualitative approaches; and (iii) a design science
approach.
Each session will be interactive and there will be opportunity for
participants to discuss ideas and problems. Participants are encouraged to
bring along an outline of current work that they are prepared to discuss.
Workshop Organizers
The workshop will be facilitated by members of the Senior Editors Board of
JAIS: Professors Shirley Gregor ([email protected]), Dubravka
Cecez-Kecmanovic ([email protected]), and Ping Zhang ([email protected]).
