{"title":"Article production changes at the ISJ and their consequences","authors":"Robert M. Davison","doi":"10.1111/isj.12505","DOIUrl":"10.1111/isj.12505","url":null,"abstract":"<p>In late 2023, Wiley, the publisher of the ISJ, informed the editor in chief that from volume 34 no. 3 (May 2024) onwards, changes would be introduced to the way accepted papers are assigned to an issue. Prior to May 2024, the editor in chief selected articles to be included in an issue and communicated this information to a production editor, who then compiled the issue and published it. The editor would also write up an editorial introduction to that issue, with a commentary on a topic relevant to the IS community and an introduction to the articles published in that issue. Although it was common practice for the articles that had been accepted longer ago (and that had therefore been in Early View for a longer time) to be published first, articles accepted for special issues were generally held back until all articles for that special issue had been accepted. The time lag between the acceptance of the first article accepted for a special issue and the last article for the same special issue could be quite considerable, in the order of 12–24 months. Such held back articles would still be visible in Early View, with their own DOI, which meant that they could be cited accurately.</p><p>Starting from May 2024, a new arrangement is in place. First, control over which articles are included in which issue is transferred from the editor in chief to the production editor. The production editor will still select the articles that have been in Early View longest, but will not hold back articles accepted for special issues. Instead, these special issue articles will appear in regular issues, mixed in with other regular articles. Since, at the time of writing, there is a considerable backlog of special issue articles in Early View, I expect that the first couple of issues to appear following this change will consist entirely of special issue articles, but from multiple special issues. In order to preserve the integrity of the special issue, a new feature called a virtual issue will be created. Virtual issues, which will be accessible via the standard menu on the journal's home page, will then capture all the articles accepted for the special issue. Virtual issues will also have an editorial introduction, created by the guest editors of the special issue. This editorial introduction will have its own DOI and so will be citable in its own right. Indeed, it will also be possible to curate accepted articles that were not published as part of a special issue into a new virtual issue on the basis of their collective contribution to a particular part of the discourse in IS research. This may bring together articles published many years apart.</p><p>Given the above changes to the management of issue production, the institution of writing an editorial to introduce the articles published in each regular issue will cease and the nature of an editorial at the ISJ will also change. Although we will no longer use editorials to introduce the articles published in an iss","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"585"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12505","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139603007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Editor of the ISJ (Robert M. Davison) was contacted by one of the ISJ's Associate Editors (AE) (Marjolein van Offenbeek) who explained that the qualitative data analysis software ATLAS.ti was offering a free-of-charge analysis of research data if the researcher shared the same data with ATLAS.ti for training purposes for their GAI1 analysis tool. Marjolein believed that this spawned an ethical dilemma. Robert forwarded Marjolein's email to the ISJ's Senior Editors (SEs) and Associate Editors (AEs) and invited their comments. Nine of the SEs and AEs replied with feedback. We (the 11 contributing authors) then engaged in a couple of rounds of brainstorming before amalgamating the text in a shared document. This was initially created by Hameed Chughtai, but then commented on and edited by all the members of the team. The final version constitutes the shared opinion of the 11 members of the team, after several rounds of discussion. It is important to emphasise that the 11 authors have contrasting views about whether GAI should be used in qualitative data analysis, but we have reached broad agreement about the ethical issues associated with this use of GAI. Although many other topics related to the use of GAI in research could be discussed, for example, how GAI could be effectively used for qualitative analysis, we believe that ethical concerns overarch many of these other topics. Thus, in this editorial we exclusively focus on the ethics associated with using GAI for qualitative data analysis.</p><p>The emergence and ready availability of GAI has profound implications for research. This powerful technology, capable of generating human-like text, has the potential to create many opportunities for researchers in all disciplines. However, the technology brings ethical challenges and risks. We unearth and comment on many facets of qualitative data-related ethics. Our goal is to engage with and inform the many stakeholders of the ISJ, including other editors, (prospective) authors, reviewers and readers.</p><p>We intend that this discussion serves as a starting point for a broader conversation on how we can responsibly navigate the evolving landscape of GAI in research. It is important to point out that we are not advocating for or against the use of GAI in research, nor are we attempting to find ways to make it easier (or harder) for researchers to incorporate GAI in their research designs and practices. Our focus relates to the ethical issues associated with GAI use in analysing qualitative data that scholars, in the conduct of their academic research, may encounter and should consider.</p><p>One of the allures of GAI lies in its capability to discover patterns to produce new codes in a data corpus faster and more comprehensively than humans, by drawing from its trained data.

Places like Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Canggu, Bali/Indonesia, have gained popularity among digital nomads in the past decade. In contributing to the economies of local communities, these nomads, with their unique characteristics, are an interesting, new visitor type. Governments worldwide are starting to recognise the potential of digital nomadism to improve local visitor economies. However, the impacts of digital nomadism on local communities, their culture and economies, are not without challenges and require further understanding. Almost all existing studies on digital nomadism focus on the nomads themselves, while, in this study, we take the perspective of the locals visited by digital nomads. Using the case study of Chiang Mai, the “digital nomad capital”, we answer the following research questions: What are the impacts of digital nomadism on local communities? How do digital nomads compare to other visitor types within the visitor economy of a local community? Our findings reveal diverse socio-cultural, economic and technological impacts and how locals in Chiang Mai evaluate digital nomads differently compared to other types of visitors. This research, grounded in an in-depth case study, contributes to a better understanding of digital nomadism by offering new knowledge about its ambivalent impacts on local communities.

Further research is needed into the key factors that bind employees to an organisation. This study seeks to advance knowledge on this individual frontier by proposing a model in which digital leadership and a continuous learning environment mediate the impact of digital transformation capabilities on organisational commitment. Testing our model through an empirical study from Spain shows an effect of both mediators. The paper thus contributes to the IS literature by identifying two mediators and their role in achieving organisational commitment. These results also suggest a new way to approach research in digital transformation by opening a new frontier on the individual level and charting a path for future study.

Managing such renewal is challenging, however, because it requires organisations to remove their exiting digital platform while at the same time building on the practises that depend on it in order to implement a new platform. Unfortunately, the literature offers little guidance on how to launch and manage this inherently complex process. Against this backdrop, we conducted a three-year case study of how a local government organisation organised and managed the renewal of its digital platform, which 4000 health professionals in eldercare use on a daily basis. We use two concepts—framing and overflowing—to reflect the complexity of the process and to describe how it unfolded. Initially, managers used persuasive language to carefully frame a vision of the change and prepare platform users for the renewal process. Despite these framing efforts, however, unexpected events led to overflow situations in which events rendered the framing untenable and threatened successful renewal. This, in turn, led to a decision to postpone the new platform's go-live date. While the postponement did defuse the situation, new overflows emerged, and management was forced to initiate further framing activities to move the platform renewal forward. Based on our insights into these events and extant literature, we present a conceptual model of framing and overflowing in organising and managing digital platform renewal that unpacks how framing–overflowing dynamics play out over time in response to the complexity of the process.</p>","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"34 5","pages":"1440-1465"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12502","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139529461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The potential of algorithms to produce fair and objective decision outcomes has attracted the attention of academic scholars and practitioners as a conceivable alternative to human decision-making. However, applicants do not necessarily consider an objective algorithm as fairer than a human decision maker. This study examines the conditions under which applicants perceive algorithms as fair and establishes a theoretical foundation of algorithmic fairness perceptions. We further propose and investigate transparency and anthropomorphism interventions as strategies to actively shape these fairness perceptions. In an online application scenario with eight experimental groups (<i>N</i> = 801), we analyse determinants for algorithmic fairness perceptions and the impact of the proposed interventions. Embedded in a stimulus-organism-response framework and drawing from organisational justice theory, our study reveals four justice dimensions (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, informational justice) that determine algorithmic fairness perceptions.

This over-simplistic interpretation of the TOE framework has culminated in inconsistent findings within extant literature. Considering the interdependencies among the three TOE elements in shaping organisational technology adoption and also decision-makers' inclination to weigh the three TOE elements differently based on their strategic orientations, this study views organisational technology adoption from a systems standpoint based on a configurational approach. Particularly, we differentiate between two types of strategic orientations, namely functional orientation, which accentuates the technology-induced efficiency gains and symbolic orientation, which stresses the image or reputation afforded through technology adoption. We advance a configurational model for organisational technology adoption that: (1) conceptualises organisational technology adoption as an outcome arising from distinct configurations of TOE elements, and; (2) extends the TOE framework by incorporating strategic orientation as an inevitable aspect of decision-making for organisational technology adoption. To validate our proposed model, we conducted a field survey of 183 firms to collect data on their considerations underpinning organisational technology adoption before employing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to derive configurations of TOE elements responsible for driving such adoption. Analytical results reveal that the TOE configurations vary across three types of organisations (namely performance enhancer, image builder and strategic transformer).
