Submissions

All submissions are to be made via the AMCIS 2026 submission system at Precision Conference https://new.precisionconference.com/amcis26c/. After creating an account and logging on to the Precision Conference site, the authors should go to “Author Center” to submit their full paper, Emergent Research Forum (ERF) paper, Professional Development Symposia (PDS), Technology, Research, and Opinion (TREO) talk abstract, workshop, or panel proposal.

The full and ERF submission deadline is March 1, 2026 5:00 PM PST (Reno/Los Angeles). No submissions will be accepted after the deadline even if the submission system is not automatically shut down. Any papers submitted after the official deadline will be desk rejected

Note that workshops, TREO talk abstracts, panel proposals, and PDS proposals have a different due date than full papers and ERF: May 8, 2026 5:00 PM PST (Reno/Los Angeles).

There are six types of submissions:

• Full papers (can be submitted to any track except “Panels”, “Workshops”, “TREO”, “PDS”)
• Emergent Research Forum (ERF) (can be submitted to any track except “Panels”, “Workshops”, “TREO”, “PDS”)
• Panel proposals (submitted to the “Panels” track only)
• Technology, Research, and Opinion (TREO) talk abstracts (submitted to the “TREO” track only)
• Professional Development Symposia (PDS) (submitted to the “PDS” track only)
• Workshops (submitted to the “Workshops” track only)

Please refer to the AMCIS 2026 CFP available on the AMCIS 2026 website.

No. Under no circumstances should the same paper (or different versions of the same paper) be submitted to more than one track. You also may not submit essentially the same paper under two different titles; both papers will be desk rejected.

Yes.

You may submit different papers, however, you should not submit more than three papers to the conference as every author (co-author) is limited to a maximum of three papers (this includes any combination of full and ERF papers). One of our goals is to have a diversity of people presenting papers. If you have multiple papers accepted, we encourage you to coordinate with your co-authors so that each of you presents a paper, rather than having one individual present multiple different papers.

No.

Submissions to AMCIS 2026 must be original; submissions cannot have been published or accepted in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference. Further, submissions must not be concurrently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. If your paper has previously been published as a working paper or a preprint, you are expected to describe this as part of the submission process. If an earlier and substantially different version of your paper has been presented at another conference, please email the track chairs with this declaration, and please detail the changes made to the paper.

If your paper topic doesn’t fit any of the tracks, submit your paper to the General Topics minitrack, within the Conference Theme Track, i.e., Intelligent technologies for a better future. For further guidance, please consult directly with track chairs.

No.

Please notify the program chairs (amcis2026program@gmail.com) if you wish to withdraw your submission.

All submissions must be in Adobe PDF format only. Files submitted in other formats or that do not use the proper submission template will not be considered for review. Please refer to the “Types of Submissions & Templates” page on the website for further information.

Templates are available in the “Types of Submissions & Templates” page on the website. Additional guidelines are available in the “Submission Formatting Checklist” page on the website.

English (including American, British, Canadian, etc., dialects) is the language of the conference and of all submissions, EXCEPT submissions to the Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin America track (LACAIS), where submissions may be made in one of the three languages.

The page limit is all-inclusive. All text, figures, tables, appendices, and references must be included within the page limit.

Submissions that exceed the page limits will be desk rejected

Abstracts must be 150 words or less. The abstract should be a concise statement of the problem, approach, and conclusion of the work. It should clearly state the paper’s contribution to the field.

Submitted papers can be desk rejected by program chairs for technical reasons (e.g., failure to adhere to submission formatting guidelines). Otherwise, minitrack chairs will invite 2-3 reviewers for each full paper and ERF paper.  The minitack chairs have the discretion to recommend an early reject without review and will provide a detailed and constructive review of the paper. This recommendation will be reviewed and approved by the track chairs and, ultimately, the program chairs.

The review process for PDS, TREO Talk abstracts, workshops, and panels will be managed by the respective chairs of these submission types.

It is important for the authors to attempt to address the revisions recommended by the reviewers and minitrack chairs. If sufficient modifications are not implemented, then the paper may not receive final acceptance to the conference.

The review process for PDS, TREO Talk abstracts, workshops, and panels will be managed by the respective chairs of these submission types.

Yes.

Minitrack and track chairs can submit papers, but not to their own minitrack (for minitrack chairs) or track (for track chairs). Submissions authored by the track or minitrack chairs must be submitted to the “General Topics” minitrack within the Conference Theme track – The Next Transformation.

Yes, they may submit their own papers to a desired track via the PCS submission system. However, the submissions will be handled outside the review system by the respective track chairs to avoid conflicts of interest.

No, reviewers are invited by the minitrack chairs.

Authors will be notified via email from the PCS submission system as to whether their submission was accepted, conditionally accepted, or rejected by April 18, 2025.

Panel proposals may be submitted to the Panels track. Please refer to panel proposal submission guidelines.

Please refer to the AMCIS 2026 Doctoral Consortium portion of the website.

In case of technical problems, please email the review coordinators: (AMCIS2026reviewcoordinator@gmail.com). Please copy the appropriate track chairs on your email.

Yes, at least one author of each accepted paper and all members of each accepted panel proposal must present at AMCIS 2026 and be registered for the in-person conference by the early registration deadline. Authors should be prepared to present their papers or participate in panels at any time during the conference. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the removal of papers or panelists from the AMCIS 2026 Proceedings.

If none of the co-authors register for the in-person conference by the early registration deadline, then the paper will be removed from the conference program and the AMCIS 2026 Proceedings. If the paper is not presented onsite after being included in the program, it will be removed from the AMCIS 2026 Proceedings.

No.

No. Completed research papers and ERF papers must be printed in the proceedings, which will be archived in the AIS eLibrary.

No. The copyright resides with the authors, and the authors may submit and publish their papers elsewhere if the regulations of the respective publication platform allow them to do so.
