The INFORMS Information Systems Society (ISS), jointly with Information Systems Research (ISR), is pleased to launch a new initiative: the ISS–ISR Webinar Series.
The objectives of this series are to: (1) Publicize outstanding research recently published in ISR; (2) Promote and disseminate high-quality scholarship within the IS community; and (3) Provide insights into the knowledge-generation process that are often not visible in the final published articles. Each webinar will be conducted via Zoom and will last one hour. The first half will feature a presentation of the paper, while the second half will focus on the research and publication process—such as how the research idea originated, why the question is interesting and important, major challenges encountered during the research and review process, particularly helpful or controversial reviewer/editor comments, and key lessons learned. Because readers typically only see the final published version, we believe this “behind-the-scenes” perspective will offer unique value to the community.
