SUBMISSION TYPES

Completed research papers must not exceed sixteen (16) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected. For empirical work, completed research papers should have completed analyses and documentation of results. Completed research papers should be similar to journal submissions, but shorter.

Review Criteria for Completed Research Papers:

• Topic is relevant to a track theme.
• Objectives are clear and well-described.
• Paper is written clearly.
• Paper will draw an audience.
• Paper is well organized and flows logically.
• Literature review is appropriate.
• Methodology is appropriate (if relevant).
• Analyses are appropriate (if relevant).
• Evidence supports authors’ arguments (if relevant).
• Paper makes a useful contribution.

See Call for Papers for general submission information.

Short papers must not exceed eight (8) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

Short papers typically describe ongoing work that is yet to be completed, but promising. Short papers could take various forms. For example, they can be theoretical (presenting promising frameworks), empirical (with some preliminary results), or present a design of novel and useful concepts, artefacts (testing need not to be done). Short papers should include a paragraph describing what work remains to complete the paper, and how the authors plan to continue working on the paper prior to ECIS 2024 in June 2024. Please note that the progress described is expected to be substantive in nature. Accepted short papers will be presented in regular sessions as short presentations during ECIS 2024, and will appear in the ECIS 2024 Proceedings. In case of acceptance, authors should specifically report the progress made to the study between acceptance and delivery of presentation. Additional information on how to prepare for presentations in ECIS 2024 will be made available after paper acceptances.

Review Criteria for Short Papers:

• Topic is relevant to a track’s theme.
• Objectives are clear and well-described.
• Paper is written clearly.
• Paper will draw an audience.
• Paper is well organized and flows logically.
• Literature review is appropriate.
• Methodology is appropriate (only if relevant).
• Analyses are appropriate (only if relevant—short papers are expected to provide preliminary results).
• Evidence supports authors’ arguments (if relevant).
• Whether the paper has the potential to deliver on the promised contribution.
• Substantive progress is expected between ECIS submission to June 2024.
• Completed research papers should not be submitted as short papers. Short papers will be primarily evaluated on the basis of their potential contribution to the field. Priority is given to those which expand the boundaries of the field.

See Call for Papers for general submission information.

Panel proposals must not exceed six (6) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

Panel sessions bring together researchers and/or practitioners with complementary or conflicting perspectives on a research topic or another issue of importance to the IS field. Panel proposals may only be submitted to the Panels track. Please see the panels description for further details and elements of a panel proposal.

See Call for Papers for general submission information.

TREO papers must not exceed three (3) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

The TREO papers should be framed as extended abstracts. Accepted papers will be presented at the TREO Forum and will be published in the TREO Forum section of the AIS e-Library to allow engagement with the material beyond the presentation at the conference. Submissions that do not comply with the template requirements will be excluded from the AIS e-Library. 

Please see the TREO Forum description for further details.

Debate and Provocation proposals must not exceed six (6) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

A debate is a form of dialectic that pursues a structured argument or discussion where two parties present opposing viewpoints on a specific topic or issue, aiming to persuade an audience and each other of the validity of their arguments.

A provocation pitch is a provocative yet generative presentation or proposal that is designed to challenge conventional thinking and provoke thought among its audience. It aims to push boundaries, disrupt the status quo, and stimulate new ways of thinking.

Please see the Debate and Provocation track description for further details and elements of a proposal.
