One of the hallmarks of ISECON throughout its long history is the involvement of IS researchers from a wide variety of institutions, including authors from community colleges, regional universities, private schools, industry, and flagship universities. ISECON also attracts participants from computer information systems (CIS), computer science (CS), and management information systems (MIS) programs. All who are interested in gathering together to discuss information systems, IS education, and the future of information technology are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Conference papers may be "traditional" research on a particular aspect of information systems, papers that explore new approaches to classroom instruction, proposals for workshops, proposals for panel discussions, IS teaching cases, or research that is in its formative stages ("in progress").
The ISECON proceedings will include all accepted papers and abstracts. Upon notification of acceptance, authors will be provided with final formatting instructions.
Here is a link to the "Conference Ranks" website's entry about ISECON.
Papers are invited on the following topics and other issues related to expected changes in IS education between now and 2032:
Submission Policy: By submitting a paper to ISECON, the author certifies that the paper has not been copyrighted or published elsewhere. The copyright to the entire proceedings, as a collection, is retained by the Foundation for IT Education; however, the copyright to an individual paper is retained by its author(s). Concurrent submission of the same paper at another conference is considered a breach of professional ethics. However, subsequent publication of an improved version of an ISECON paper in a journal or other appropriate outlet to reach a broader audience is encouraged.
Abstracts and Research-in-Progress: ISECON welcomes the submission of interesting works that are in earlier stages of development. The suggested length is 500 - 1,000 words.
Participation Policy: By submitting a paper to ISECON, the author(s) agree that at least one author will register for ISECON, attend, and present the paper if it is accepted for the conference.
Paper Awards: Each year, the conference celebrates exceptional papers through a set of awards. The Program Chair accepts input from the review team in order to identify papers that deserve consideration for these awards. The "Distinguished Paper Review Committee" works with the Program Chair to determine which paper(s) should receive "Distinguished Paper Award" recognition each year. Furthermore, one paper is selected to receive the "Best Paper Award" each year.
Formatting Directions: Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:
