mis-quarterly
Use when targeting MIS Quarterly (MISQ) or deciding whether an information-systems behavioral / design-science / economics-of-IS manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# MIS Quarterly (mis-quarterly)
## Journal positioning
MIS Quarterly is the premier journal of the information-systems discipline and a member of the AIS Senior Scholars' Basket of eight. It publishes research that contributes to knowledge and theory about the development, use, management, and impact of information systems, across the field's major traditions — behavioral, design-science, and economics-of-IS. The defining test is an *IS contribution*: a paper must advance IS theory or knowledge, not merely apply a method. A pure machine-learning benchmark with no IS-theoretic contribution does not fit. The readership is the global IS research community.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the MISQ / AIS site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names MISQ (or the AIS Senior Scholars' Basket) as the target venue.
- A behavioral, design-science, or economics-of-IS paper needs the field's flagship home.
- An analytics or ML paper using IS data needs re-framing around an IS theoretical contribution — or re-routing if there is none.
- The author needs MISQ's desk-reject risks and a credible Basket / INFORMS alternative list before submitting.
