The Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) is pleased to announce the winner of the 2022 Best Paper Award. The best paper winner for 2022 is "In the Backrooms of Data Science" by Elena Parmiggiani, Thomas Osterlie, and Petter Almklov, all from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. This paper challenges the notion of data as preexisting and stable objects waiting to be analyzed and focuses on the backend work involved in finding and preparing the data for analysis. Using a longitudinal study of data management in the oil and gas industry, the authors demonstrate how constantly changing work practices make data management highly unstable with a consequence that the work practices must consider what data is possible to access as well as the future potential uses of the data.
The second paper receiving a best paper honorable mention award is "On the Design of and Interaction with Conversational Agents: An Organizing and Assessing Review of Human-Computer Interaction Research." In the review/theory article, the authors organize and synthesize the vast body of research on conversational agents. The authors then provide an agenda for conversational agent research in IS, suggesting six research avenues and 16 directions for research. With already 1,165 downloads, this paper was among the most highly downloaded JAIS papers in 2022.
JAIS is proud to honor these individuals for their hard work and commitment to the IS community!
