CALL FOR PAPERS
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE SUMMIT 2008
Call for Research Track Submissions:
9th ANNUAL INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE SUMMIT
April 10-14
Hyatt Regency Miami
The ASIS&T Information Architecture Summit is the
premier annual gathering
for information architects. At this time, we are issuing an
advance Call
for Papers for the IA Summit research stream.
Research papers provide an opportunity to present original
contributions to
the research, theory, and practice of information
architecture. Submissions
should demonstrate an awareness of relevant literature, both
empirical and
theoretical, while clearly indicating the importance of the
research to IA
practice. In addition, submissions to the research stream
must include the
full text of the paper, not just an abstract. All research
papers will
undergo a blind peer-review. Accepted papers will be
included in the digital
conference proceedings and made publicly available on the
conference
website.
Although we are seeking original research contributions,
this does not mean
that your submission must strictly conform to the
traditional format for
scholarly research papers. The exact nature and format of
the paper lies
with the author. However, regardless of the format, research
papers should
still meet accepted scholarly standards for quality,
clarity, validity, and
originality. Papers will typically be between 3000 and 5000
words (roughly
6-12 pages), plus references and supporting images and
tables as required.
The maximum length for research papers is 7000 words.
Although the research stream intends to encourage
contributions from
academic researchers, we strongly encourage anyone to submit
research
papers, including practitioners and students. Affiliation
with an academic
institution is not required to submit a research paper.
Approximate dates for research track submissions:
November 2007: Full papers due
January 2008: Notification of acceptance
Early March 2008: Revised full paper in PDF due for
inclusion in electronic
proceedings
Additional details about submission requirements will be
available later
this year on the conference website at http://www.iasummit.org .
In the
meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have
any questions.
