Prepare both paper and electronic versions of your Minitrack CFP explaining the scope, purpose, and emphasis of the Minitrack in detail. Be sure your CFP refers to the conference website so authors can see the contents of the entire conference. If you set up a website for your Minitrack, please send the URL to the HICSS office hicss@hawaii.edu so that it can be included with the description of your Minitrack on the HICSS website. Also, please remember to put in a hotlink back to the HICSS website http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu.

You may not submit your Minitrack Call for Papers to ISWorld.

The quality of your Minitrack is directly related to the effort you put into this first step.


SUBMISSION PROCESS

April 15 – June 15

Abtracts are encouraged but not required. Give authors who submit an abstract to you guidance to make their paper more likely to be accepted. Tell them if you want them to re-direct or re-focus part of the manuscript to deal with certain issues. Abstracts can be useful to you in several ways:

They give you an early indication of the topics of manuscripts that you will be receiving – which areas of interest will be covered, and which will not. This is much better than finding out in June, when it will be very difficult – if not impossible – to secure additional manuscripts.

They can show if you have inadequate coverage in a particular area. You can send out personal messages to those working in a particular area requesting a manuscript for consideration. Tip: Use some combination of personal notes, e-mail, and fax, as well as broader distribution mechanisms. Reminder: you may not submit your HICSS Call for Papers to IS World.

Authors submit papers for review in publication format to the Peer Review site, according to the instructions posted on the HICSS web site.

June 20 – August 15

Assign Reviewers to each submitted manuscript. Designate three (3) reviewers for each manuscript, in addition to yourself. Reviewers post their review and evaluation on the Peer Review site as soon as possible, but no later than Aug 1.
