To be considered for the ERF, authors should submit their papers through the AMCIS 2016 submission system to the respective tracks or mini-tracks that may best-fit their research. Papers for the ERF would be subject to the same review process as the other papers (i.e., the track or mini-track chairs would solicit feedback from multiple reviewers, include their own assessment, and make a recommendation to the AMCIS Program/ERF Chairs).
Papers accepted to the ERF may be published in the conference proceedings and presented in multiple formats. Authors have the opportunity to decide the content for the proceedings and the format for the presentations.
Authors may choose to submit:
a) an abstract of the paper OR
b) 5 pages all inclusive (approx. 2,500 words, including figures, tables, references, and appendices) for publication in the conference proceedings.
ERF presentations are to be done in multiple formats. Authors should plan to prepare:
All ERF papers should be introduced in the slam presentation. All slam presentations are limited to a maximum of three slides and three minutes. The timer will start when the author begins speaking. The slides for all slam presentations will be combined into a single large slide deck, which will be pre-loaded and ready to use. Authors will be assigned numbers in sequence consistent with the large slide deck and they should be ready to present in that order. There will be 30 seconds between presentations for transition.
All ERF papers should be showcased in the poster session. All posters are to be printed on a 36”x48” inches (approximately 91 x 122 cm) poster. Authors are welcome to self-print the poster consistent with the poster format OR avail poster printing services for $20. The cost covers printing the poster at a local facility and shipping to the conference hotel.
