jmis-writing-style

Use when the prose is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS) manuscript — an abstract and introduction that land the IS-management contribution, and a body that reads for a method-literate but management-minded IS audience. Late-stage polish; do not invoke before the mechanism, identification, and contribution are settled.

# Writing Style (jmis-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The mechanism, identification, and contribution are settled and the prose is the remaining gap
- The abstract or introduction buries the contribution under setup or method
- The paper reads like a reference-discipline manuscript (pure econ/CS) wearing an IS label
- The abstract exceeds **150 words** or quietly slips in citations

## Lead with the IS-management contribution

A JMIS reader is method-literate but management-minded. The introduction should reach the contribution fast: the technology, the managerial/economic question, what was not known, and what you show — stated for an IS audience, not buried under literature. The recurring failure is an intro that spends pages on background before the "we show that…" sentences. Get the IT artifact and the managerial stake on the first page.

## Write the 150-word, citation-free abstract last and tight
