misq-contribution-framing

Use 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 it justifies its page budget. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (misq-data-analysis).

# Contribution Framing (misq-contribution-framing)

## When to trigger

- Results exist (or the artifact is evaluated) but the "so what for IS" is thin
- A Senior Editor or reviewer calls the contribution "incremental" or "a technical exercise"
- Your discussion lists findings without saying what changed in the IS knowledge base
- You need a contribution statement strong enough to justify a 50–65 page slot

## State the contribution in the currency of your tradition

MISQ judges contribution within whichever IS tradition the paper occupies. Name what kind of knowledge you produced.

| Tradition | The contribution is... | Make it explicit by stating... |
