International Research Symposium on Accounting Information Systems 2005
Call for Papers
IRSAIS will feature research papers and one or more panels that focus on the nexus
of accounting and information systems research. The Symposium is particularly interested
in interdisciplinary papers that draw from accounting, psychology, cognitive science,
behavioral science, economics, and/or information technology. High-quality, insightful,
and theoretically sound studies of any type (action research, archival analysis,
behavioral/experimental, design science, surveys, etc.) are equally encouraged.
All submissions to IRSAIS 2004 must represent original work that has not already
been published in a journal or conference proceedings (in complete form –
abstract publication is permissible). If the work has been presented at another
conference or is currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere,
the authors must disclose this fact.
At least one author for every accepted paper and all members of every accepted panel
must register for the symposium and present their ideas in person. Authors of accepted
submissions must address the suggestions of the reviewers, and submit an electronic
copy of the final version of the work by the specified deadline. Failure to do so
will be tantamount to withdrawing this work from further consideration and it will
not be included on the final program.
Submissions may be of three types: Completed research papers, research-in-progress
papers, and panel proposals.
Completed research papers
Completed research submissions constitute a submission to IJAIS
and papers accepted for the Symposium will be published in a special issue of the
journal. Authors will need to meet any additional requirements of the journal editor.
Papers should conform to IJAIS format, which is consistent with American
Accounting Association journals and other Elsevier accounting journals.
Research-in-progress papers
Submission of promising research in its formative stages does not require complete
analysis of results. Submissions should include a one-page abstract and a paper
that includes the following sections: research objectives and questions, theoretical
foundations of the study, research methodology being used, current status of the
project, and a description of what the authors propose to present at the conference.
Panel proposals
Panel proposals should include a general description of the panel, names and affiliations
of all panel participants, a statement to the effect that all participants have
made a commitment to serve on the panel (if it is accepted), a brief description
of each participant's background and expertise related to the panel topic, and a
description of each participant's views on the topic.
For completed paper and research-in-progress submissions, authors should identify
themselves and provide contact information only on the cover page, as these submissions
will be blind reviewed. The second page of the paper should consist of an abstract
plus a list of key words describing the main topics of the manuscript (the MISQ
keyword list should be used). Papers and panel proposals should be double-spaced
to facilitate editing. The manuscript or proposal plus any supporting documentation
(such as survey instruments) should be sent as e-mail attachments (in Word format,
12 point font with a minimum of 1 inch margins) to:
