Individual skill
jais-workflow
Use when deciding which jais-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it first helps you name which of JAIS's seven manuscript categories your paper belongs in.

# JAIS Workflow Router (jais-workflow)
## Overview
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jais-* skill to use right now** for your manuscript aimed at the *Journal of the Association for Information Systems* (JAIS).
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JAIS — the **flagship journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS)**, a Senior Scholars' Basket member that publishes "the highest quality scholarship in the field of information systems." JAIS's identity is **theory-forward and methodologically plural**: it is "inclusive in topics, level and unit of analysis, theory, method and philosophical and research approach" and "encourages theory based multi- or inter-disciplinary research" (about page, 检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). The defining tell of JAIS versus its siblings is that **theory is a first-class contribution in its own right** — JAIS runs a standalone **Theory** category for "original theory" alongside empirical Research Articles, design research, and literature reviews.
So the first routing question is not "is the method sound?" but **"which of the seven JAIS categories is this, and does the contribution match that category's bar?"** The seven categories (each with its own Senior Editor) are: **Research Articles**, **Theory**, **Literature Reviews**, **Research Perspectives**, **Foundational Research on Novel Digital Phenomena**, **Editorials**, and **Policy and Impact** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
> Editorial team and policies change: Monideepa Tarafdar is Editor-in-Chief (effective Sept 1, 2024). Treat the masthead, category SEs, and any impact-factor figure as 待核实 and re-verify at aisel.aisnet.org/jais.
