The Norwegian Conference for Organizations’ Use of IT (NOKOBIT) conference, a longstanding annual event in the field of information science and information systems, has successfully convened for 31 consecutive years. In 2024, NOKOBIT takes centre stage as one of the four primary tracks at the prestigious 36th Norwegian ICT Conference for Research and Education, known as NIKT 2024.

It covers a broad range of topics related to development, implementation and use of ICT in organisations, including sustainability and societal issues of ICT. The conference is a joint arena for researchers and practitioners for extending the knowledge in the area.

Assessment and publishing

Research papers will normally be assessed by three anonymous and independent peers. Papers can be anonymized but this is not required. Accepted papers will normally be published digitally in the NOKOBIT series (e-ISSN 1894-7719), currently published by the Bibsys Open Journal Systems. The accepted publications count at credit level 1 in the Norwegian Register for Scientific journals.

We require the following for publication in the conference report:

• Final version is submitted within the deadline and in the correct format

• At least one of the authors register at the conference and presents the study

A submitted manuscript can be refused by the programme committee without being sent for peer review. This applies if the manuscript has obvious deficiencies, making peer review meaningless (i.e., plagiarism, the work has been presented elsewhere, no scientific contents of a topic far out of the area of NOKOBIT). In cases of plagiarism or scientific dishonesty (i.eplagiarism or auto generated gibberish), the rejection and its reason will not only be covered to the submitter, but also, potentially, to the institution where (s)he is employed, and also to those being plagiarised.

Format and submission

NOKOBIT only invites full paper contributions this year. Full papers can be written in a Scandinavian language or in English. All contributions have to be original and not published or under review elsewhere. A paper should be max 14 pages.

• Format: Springer LNCS (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)

• Submission in Easychair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=nikt2024 and select NOKOBIT track.

Conference presentation

Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. The author must be prepared to present the paper in English if there are people in the audience who do not understand Scandinavian languages.
