Please find below Andy?s reminder of the submission of new papers to the REF review by the end of January. If that does not motivate you to give your best in 2026, then I don?t know what will.

If you are research active, this guidance applies to you so *please read carefully* 1. Your group leader hosts a shared folder ? called ?R2 (live)? ? with the documentation you will need to complete this round 2. Read the file 'REF infoPack' *before* you nominate any outputs (conference or journal papers, books or book chapters) for review so you understand the assessment criteria; we are looking for 3* & 4* outputs 3. Nominate potential 3* & 4* outputs published since January 2025 in the file ?REF R2 outputs list? Note 1. Don?t forget to ask your research staff / PGRs if they have published anything this year that could be 3* or 4* quality Note 2. Previous submissions that were accepted but not published at the time of the last review (e.g., CHI 2025 outputs), were *not* reviewed, so please *add* them to the list as well if you think they are of 3* or 4* quality Note 3. Any output published since January 2021 that provides a literature review / survey should *not* be submitted *unless* it can be demonstrated it might satisfy 3* or 4* quality criteria; these outputs should be flagged directly to the Director of Research (email me) and be accompanied by a supporting statement (see below) explaining how they meet quality criteria 4. Write a 200 word (max) supporting statement for each nominated output using the Supporting Statement Template and once completed put it in the ?Drop ? here? folder Note 4. You should *also* write a supporting statement (as above) for every output you submitted in the last round that was deemed potential 3* or 4* (I?ll let you know by email if you have any); you may also have received some useful feedback to draw on, see the 'R1 reviewed? file in the 'R1 (Jan 2025) completed? folder to find out 5. The deadline for submission of outputs to review (including supporting statements) is 30th of January 2026 6. It won?t take a great deal of time to read the guidance, add your nominated output(s) to the list, and write a short supporting statement for each, but please don?t leave it until the deadline. Many of the 100 word descriptions provided last time round (if they were provided at all) were not very informative or useful. So, unfortunately, I will be sending them back to do again as a *priority* if that is the case this time round. Please feel free to ping me with a draft if you want me cast an eye over a statement. Any queries, any questions, anything you?re not sure about, please let me know best wishes, andy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Bernd From: Dirk Hovorka Sent: 24 January 2026 22:54 To: edavidso ; Chiasson, Mike (MGMT) ; muellerb ; Dirk Hovorka ; Daniel Schlagwein Subject: Online workshop for JIT Special Issue: Digital Futures (Jan 27 and Jan 29) Dear Authors, We take this opportunity to thank all the authors for their interest and enthusiasm for the JIT Special Issue on "Futuring: 'Digital' Futures as a Novel Site of Inquiry and Imagination". We hope the feedback provided to those who submitted an extended abstract was helpful. If you did not submit an extended abstract, this brief workshop is intended to help you emphasize the alignment of your work with the ethos and goals of the Special Issue. We are also aware that the quite unorthodox topic of the special issue both opens possibilities and raises questions regarding what the SEs hope to see and what we expect. We intended to offer these workshops earlier, but life sometimes happens. We are happy to now offer a brief workshop to provide a refinement of the CfP information (not a major change at all) and to address questions. Considering the international distribution of authors, we are offering two times to attend a ~ 60 minute workshop (via Zoom - these will cover the same ideas - plan to attend just one). This workshop is entirely voluntary and is intended to help in these last stages of polishing your submission. Please distribute this to your coauthors as I am sure we have missed some emails. We plan to address three aspects of the CfP: 1. Submission categories: Although these are described in the CfP, we want to add clarity (and a 4th category) to what we hope to receive. This information may be helpful in the final polishing of your submission 2. Advice to Reviewers: It is quite likely that we will ask some of you to review and this information will also help authors craft submissions in style that reviewers can engage with. Reviewing unorthodox topics and formats will be challenging (and fun!) and we want to avoid the trap of evaluating submissions from traditional perspectives in IS. 3. Questions: We are aware that there may be questions remaining both regarding specific feedback on your earlier submissions and or the general expectations the SEs have. We will allow time for questions. PLEASE NOTE: The workshops will be cover the same ideas. There is no need to attend both. We apologise in advance for the short notice and the somewhat awkward times for some regions. Workshop #1: Tues January 27th UTC 12:00 (Sydney 23:00; Berlin 13:00; NYC 07:00) https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89719851591 Workshop #2: Thursday January 29th UTC 21:00:00 (Sydney Friday 8:00; Berlin TH 20:00; NYC TH 16:00) Time: Jan 30, 2026 08:00 AM Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/84530510938 Although we hope some members of author teams can attend, we stress that attendance is not required. Our goal is to help authors submit their best possible work in helping the Information Systems field better research and engage with Digital Futures. We hope to see you there!
