AUTHORS
Before You Begin: Ethics
in Publishing
All authors are supposed to submit the manuscript
containing original contents. The manuscript which
has not been simultaneously submitted to, nor published
in any other publication channels, solely can be
accepted. If the same paper is found appearing or
published in any other publication, the paper will
be automatically rejected. The paper previously
published in other minor publications such as conference,
workshop, seminar, or proceedings can be eligible
for being reviewed and published in JIIS. However,
we require that the paper be substantially revised
with at least 30% new contents which have never
been published in the previous publications. Even
though the new results from the conference paper
are not required, the revised manuscript version
should include expansion of key ideas, examples,
explanations, figures, tables, and so on. In this
case, the manuscript should indicate its previously
published conference name and date as a footnote
in the left bottom of the first page. We strictly
prohibit plagiarism and self-plagiarism. If plagiarism
is found in a paper in review or in the publication,
the Research Ethics Committee of KIISS (Korea Intelligent
Information Systems Society) will immediately investigate
the case. The severe penalty will be imposed on
the author(s) related to the plagiarism case based
on the investigation.
The ethical code of conduct of KIISS can be found
at the Web site of KIISS (Link#1)
or downloaded (Link#2).
Also, the author(s) should comply with International
Standard Publication Ethics. |
Submission Guidelines
1. Content and Publication Type
The Editorial Board accepts original papers of research
articles, case studies, and other invited papers
on the intelligent information systems in the field
of business. |
JIIS offers three manuscript
types as follows :
- Regular paper
A regular paper usually reports the results
of original research. Rigorous research model,
and empirical evidence that support the model
are generally required for a regular paper.
The page limit of a regular paper is 30 A4
pages.
- Concise paper
A concise paper presents results that are
important and original in a concise manner.
In a concise paper, the empirical validation
of the proposed research model can be skipped.
And, 10 to 15 A4 pages are recommended as
the length of a concise paper. In order to
submit a concise paper to JIIS, the paper
must be written in English.
- Case study
A case study describes a detailed and in-depth
investigation of the actual experiences of applying
intelligent technologies to organizations. It may be subjective,
and both quantitative and qualitative research methods can be used.
The page limit of a case study is 30 A4 pages.

A rejected manuscript is not suitable for publication in the JIIS. |
