International Research Symposium on Accounting Information Systems 2006
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 BOTH:
