PROPOSAL FOR A SPECIAL EDITION ON STRENGTHENING INFORMATION SOCIETY RESEARCH CAPACITY ALLIANCE (SIRCA ) MARIA SOLEDAD RAMIREZ MONTOYA AND ELSA ESTEVEZ SIRCA BOOT CAMP CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA 10 DECEMBER 2013

OUTLINE 1Motivation 2The journal – EJISDC 3Details of the special issue 4Important dates 5Team SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December

MOTIVATION – ADDED VALUE OF OUR RESEARCH ICT4D research has been criticised in the past: o for not being theoretically sound, o for having an impoverished perspective of development, and o for not being useable by policy makers and practitioners. Through its capacity building activities, the SIRCA programme has promoted research that addresses these shortcomings. SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December The theme of the Special Edition of EJISDC is research quality in ICT4D.

THE JOURNAL – EJISDC The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries (EJISDC) strives to become the foremost international forum for practitioners, teachers, researchers and policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of information systems and technologies in developing countries. [ SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December

PAPERS We are particularly interested in papers presenting findings of the research work you have conducted as part of the SIRCA Programme demonstrating: o a sound research methodology – including research questions clearly formulated to solve a relevant ICT4D problem and presentation of research results produced through rigorous data-collection and -analysis activities o rich contributions for knowledge transfer based on empirical evidence – how research results can influence the greater Information Society – trends, linkages, and dis-connects in the impact of Information Society/ICT4D research on development policies, law, public opinion, and practices – impact of ICTs in the Global South within the fields of, including but not limited to, education, gender, health, livelihoods, poverty. SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December

REQUIREMENTS HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH: o Having theoretical foundations o Presenting results based on empirical evidences – analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively o Presenting meaningful contribution to science – to advance knowledge o Explaining how results could be transfer – through generalization or applications to other contexts/domains SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December

SUBMISSIONS Submissions are sought from all participants in the SIRCA programme, especially those that have participated in the second phase. We also seek joint contributions from the various collaborators and mentors. SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December

GUIDELINES o Submissions of around 8, ,000 words should be original and previously unpublished. o They will be peer-reviewed by a review panel in the regular fashion. o Involvement in the SIRCA programme does not constitute an automatic acceptance of submitted work. o Manuscripts should describe in detail the research that has been conducted under the guidance provided by the programme as well demonstrating how it addressed some of the previously reported shortcomings in ICT4D research. SIRCA BOOTCAMP Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 December
