misq-methods
Use when choosing and defending the research design for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — a behavioral survey/experiment, an economics-of-IS identification strategy, a design-science build-and-evaluate cycle, or an organizational/qualitative design. Matches the method to the IS claim and the manuscript category; it designs the study and hands estimation/evaluation to misq-data-analysis.

# Research Design & Methods (misq-methods)
## When to trigger
- You have a theory or design propositions but no defensible way to test/evaluate them
- The method may not match the tradition or the claim (e.g., a causal claim with a correlational design)
- A reviewer asks "how do you know the artifact works?" or "what identifies this effect?"
- You need to decide what fits inside the category page limit (which counts everything)
## Match the design to the tradition and claim
MISQ spans four traditions, so there is no single mandated method. Pick the design that the claim requires.
| Tradition | Typical designs | The design must establish |
