Submission guidelines

Each submitted paper must be allocated to a specific track. The conference organisers may switch papers between the tracks if acceptance for publication necessitates this. In order to get the papers accepted to the proceedings, at least one author per academic paper must register to the conference. For Workshops, all workshops participants must register to the conference. For Panels, all the proposed speakers must register to the conference.

Submissions must be sent using the MCIS2008 electronic submission system. The language of the conference and all submissions is English.

Submissions to MCIS 2008 may not have (already) been published previously in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference. Moreover, they may not be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. Any submission that exceeds the length requirements, or does not adhere to the required format, or is delivered after the specified date, will be rejected without review. All submissions except the panel proposals will be reviewed blind by the programme committee. Each conference track will be chaired by a colleague with research expertise in that area. The track chairs will supervise the review process, involving selected reviewers from the IS research community.

Evaluation criteria will be those typically used by major journals and first-class conferences, e.g. relevance of the topic and findings, quality (rigour) of the research process, and quality of the writing. Results of the review process will be communicated to the author by the specified date. The authors will be responsible for making the revisions recommended by the reviewers, and for submitting the final version of their paper by the appropriate deadline.

If you have any questions about the programme and paper submission, please contact info@mcis2008.org.
