misq-contribution-framingUse when turning results or a built artifact into an explicit contribution for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — stating what new IS knowledge the paper produces (behavioral mechanism, design principles, economic effect, or organizational insight), why it matters for both IS theory and practice, and why
misq-data-analysisUse when running and reporting the empirical core of a MIS Quarterly manuscript — measurement and structural models (PLS/CB-SEM) for behavioral IS, causal identification and robustness for economics-of-IS, artifact evaluation for design science, or trustworthiness for qualitative IS — and assembling
misq-literature-positioningUse when positioning a MIS Quarterly manuscript inside the right information-systems conversation — engaging canonical IS work, showing the IT artifact is central, and distinguishing the paper from adjacent IS venues (ISR, JMIS, JAIS) and from the parent reference disciplines (management, economics,
misq-methodsUse when choosing and defending the research design for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — a behavioral survey/experiment, an economics-of-IS identification strategy, a design-science build-and-evaluate cycle, or an organizational/qualitative design. Matches the method to the IS claim and the manuscript c
misq-rebuttalUse after a MIS Quarterly revision decision to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, addressing tradition-specific rigor concerns (identification, validity/CMB, artifact evaluation, trustworthiness), updating the transparency materials, an
misq-review-processUse to understand how MIS Quarterly's editorial process works and to read a decision letter — the double-anonymous model, the Senior-Editor/Associate-Editor routing where the SE owns the decision, what a major/minor revision versus reject signals, and what to expect across one or more revision round
misq-submissionUse for the final pre-submission preflight of a MIS Quarterly manuscript — confirming the ScholarOne workflow, Word-file format, double-anonymous compliance, the correct manuscript category and its page limit, the pluralistic transparency commitment uploaded at Step 2, and the reviewer-service agree
misq-tables-figuresUse when designing the exhibits for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — measurement/correlation and structural-model tables for behavioral IS, regression and robustness tables for economics-of-IS, artifact architecture and evaluation exhibits for design science, and a Gioia-style data structure for qualita
misq-theory-developmentUse when building the theoretical engine of a MIS Quarterly manuscript — a behavioral mechanism and hypotheses, a design theory and testable design propositions for a design-science artifact, an economic mechanism for an economics-of-IS study, or an organizational process theory. Adapts the form of
misq-topic-selectionUse when shaping or stress-testing a research question for MIS Quarterly — confirming it is a genuine information-systems question, naming which of the four IS traditions (behavioral, design science, economics, organizational) it lives in, and choosing the matching manuscript category before any dat
misq-workflowUse when deciding which misq-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through revision for a MIS Quarterly (MISQ) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it first helps you name which of the four IS research traditions (behavi
misq-writing-styleUse when polishing the prose of a MIS Quarterly manuscript — front-loading the IS contribution, writing for an interdisciplinary IS audience that spans four traditions, applying APA 7th / MISQ Style Guide conventions (including MISQ's lead-with-the-information in-text citation style, heading format,
