Individual skill

isr-workflow

Use when deciding which isr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills. Knows ISR's sociotechnical, intradisciplinary mission and its co-equal behavioral and analytical genres.

# Information Systems Research Workflow (isr-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which isr-* skill to use right now** for your Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as ISR — the INFORMS quarterly at the intersection of technology, organizations, economics, and society, and a member of the IS field's **Senior Scholars' Basket of Eight**. ISR's identity is deliberately **sociotechnical and intradisciplinary**: it is receptive to the design, management, use, valuation, and impacts of IT across multiple levels of analysis (individuals, groups, firms, networks, societies, nations), and it houses **both** rigorous behavioral/empirical research **and** analytical economic, econometric, and design-science modeling as **co-equal** first-class genres. The recurring editorial question is not only "is the method sound?" but "does this **bridge IS silos** and advance our intradisciplinary understanding of the sociotechnical?"

> Editorial team context: Suprateek Sarker (University of Virginia, McIntire) is the current Editor-in-Chief; his inaugural editorial appeared in ISR 34(1):1-4 on February 27, 2023. The 2025 multimethod-research framework editorial (ISR 36(2)) formalizes guidance for combining qualitative, quantitative, analytical, and design-science methods. Re-check the current masthead and policies at pubsonline.informs.org/journal/isre before submission.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" with a half-built ISR manuscript
- You have an analytical model or a dataset but no clear sociotechnical, intradisciplinary story
