REVIEWS OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH The Journal of Information Systems (JIS) is the journal of the Information Systems Section of the American Accounting Association (www.jisonline.com). JIS will publish a special section in the Fall 2010 issue entitled “Reviews of Information Systems Research.” The section will include papers that review a stream of research in information systems (IS). The papers will align that stream of research to current and future research in Accounting Information Systems (AIS).
Papers in the section will: (1) review the relevant IS literature (e.g., decision aids, user acceptance, GDSS, data and information quality, value of IT, IT governance, ontology, etc.), (2) integrate the relevant Accounting Information Systems (AIS) literature and (3) map future research directions in AIS and IS.
There is a two-step process for publication of papers in the special section. The first stage is a paper proposal. This stage ensures that the special section covers those dimensions of the IS literature most relevant to AIS. It should eliminate overlap between competing papers. The second stage is the formal review of completed papers. Accepted paper proposals do not guarantee publication of the final paper, which are subject to the normal double blind review process of the Journal. This review process takes place in the second stage.
The paper proposal should be no more than four pages in length. It should address the following questions: What strand of IS research will the paper review? What are the dimensions of the strand? What are some of the papers that constitute this strand? What are the major themes in this strand? Why is this strand of research important for AIS? How has the AIS literature contributed to the strand? What are the potential contributions of research in this strand to the practice of AIS? Where is research within this strand headed?
Submit the paper proposals using the guidelines for regular journal submissions at www.jisonline.com. Payment of the submission fee must accompany the full paper in the second stage.
The editor of the special section is Roger Debreceny, Shidler College Distinguished Professor of Accounting, School of Accountancy, Shidler College of Business, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Email: rogersd@hawaii.edu roger@debreceny.com. Do not hesitate to email Roger for feedback at any point in the process.
Key dates are: Preliminary proposals: Nov. 30, 2008 Full papers: June 30, 2009
