Submissions to ACIS 2007 should 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, may be rejected without review.

All paper submissions will be evaluated in a double-blind peer review process. Each conference track will be chaired by colleagues with research expertise in the respective area. The track chairs will supervise the review process, involving selected reviewers from the IS research community. Acceptance and rejection decisions are finalized by the programme committee.

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. The results of the review process will be communicated to the author(s) by the specified date. The author(s) 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 program and/or the paper submission process, please contact the Program Chair  - Mark Toleman.

Authors will be able to access the paper submission web site from here in early May.
