DIGIT -- 2000 Call For Papers

Diffusion Interest Group in Information Technology Workshop Announcement

A pre-ICIS meeting of people interested in information technology adoption and diffusion will be held on December 10, 2000 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Brisbane, Australia. Both faculty members and doctoral students are encouraged to attend and submit papers. It is not necessary to submit a paper in order to attend DIGIT.

The workshop will include 2-3 one-hour research paper presentations and two panel discussions. The panels will address issues associated with research directions, both theoretical and methodological, in the area of adoption and diffusion. We are in the process of lining up a very distinguished group of IT innovation researchers to serve on these panels.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided to attendees. In order to foster the workshop atmosphere which has developed in previous meetings, registration will again be limited to 30 people. The deadline for submission of papers is Monday, September 15, 2000. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made by Monday, November 1, 2000.

Call for papers

We are interested in receiving papers relating to information technology adoption and diffusion. In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area, working papers are encouraged as well as more complete papers. Papers dealing with the adoption and/or diffusion of information technology at the individual, work group, or organizational level are invited.

All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers should not have been published previously in a proceedings or journal, nor be under review elsewhere, but may be submitted elsewhere after the DIGIT meeting. At least one author will register and attend the workshop to present the paper if the work is accepted.

Instructions for Contributors

1. All papers are to be double-spaced and submitted electronically (email preferred) in either Word format. Working papers or research in process will be limited to ten pages. Research papers should be limited to twenty pages. Both should include an abstract.

2. The title page should include the title, the names of author(s) and affiliations, and e-mail addresses. The main body of the paper should have a title, but no author identification.
