WG 9.4: Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries
13th International Conference on Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries
Track 2: Graduate Student Track
Chairs: Julian M. Bass (Robert Gordon University, UK)
Robert Davison (City University of Hong Kong)
Devinder Thapa (Luleå University of Technology, Sweden)
Chris Westrup (Manchester Business School, UK)
This track will offer a pathway for new authors to join the Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries research community.
Formative feedback will be offered to enable paper revision. Also during the conference itself, we will ensure a programme committee
member attends each session (in addition to the session chair) to provide authors feedback on their papers. Authors of accepted papers
will be invited to submit to a Special Issue of the Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries (EJISDC).
This track will offer (an optional) submission deadline 2 months earlier than the main conference, in order to provide a preliminary round
of formative feedback on submissions to authors prior to the main submission deadline.
The track will accept papers across the full range of topic areas within the theme of the conference. The track chairs will identify suitably
qualified reviewers for submissions. The purpose of the track is to provide formative feedback to new researchers in the field, so no
specific research area will be specified, beyond the theme of the conference. We will be particularly interested in papers on the theme
of openness. The Graduate Student Track will be open to authors that have not previously published a paper.
