OVERVIEW
Writing papers for high-quality journals in the social and behavioral sciences is both an art and a science, and this workshop will delve into both the art and the science. A discussion of theory and theory development will be situated within the elements of an empirical journal article - including identifying a scientific gap and writing a good article. A broader emphasis of the workshop will be to situate theory within a research program and paradigms of research.

ICTO2023 Pre-conference Workshop
OVERVIEW
Books: Venkatesh, V. Road to Success: A Guide for Researchers in the Behavioral and Social Sciences, VT Publishing, 2021. (open access book available at: http://vvenkatesh.com/book)
Articles: Two primary types of articles will be assigned: (1) articles (including book chapters) that explain concepts and provide guidance on various topics and (2) illustrations that serve as a vehicle to highlight .
OBJECTIVES
To learn to write an empirical journal article and especially the front-end (introduction, literature review and theory sections) for leading social and behavioral sciences journals. This is accomplished using three intertwined goals:
1. To learn how to develop the motivation for research and by association, a paper.
2. To build theory development skills and recognize the challenges in developing good theory.
3. To situate the knowledge gained about theory and writing within broad the context of developing an effective research program.
4. To learn how to structure and write various sections of an empirical journal article.
STRUCTURE
The three-day workshop will be structured to be intensive and a combination of lecture and discussion. To get maximal value, participants are encouraged to read articles [to be assigned after registration] prior to the workshop. Additionally, we will work through specific exercises aimed to help participants develop a specific paper. Through this process, it is the hope that the participants will leave with a significant understanding of how to write better papers, especially from the perspective of crafting a better story and developing better theory.

For instance, in a recent article in PloS Biology and annual updates (Iaonnidis et al. 2021), based on citation data from 1996 to 2021, he had career ranking for citation impact of 485th out of ~9 million scientists across all scientific fields and 1st in information systems—and he has been in the top-1000 out of ~9 million scientists across all scientific fields since the rankings were introduced in 2017. His annual citation impact rankings have been on or about the top-100 out of ~9 million scientists across all scientific fields since 2017.
Since 2016, Fellow of the AIS
He has taught a wide variety of undergraduate, MBA, exec MBA, PhD, and executive courses.
