# Information Systems Research (information-systems-research)
## Journal positioning
Information Systems Research (ISR) is INFORMS's flagship IS journal and a member of the AIS Senior Scholars' Basket of eight. It publishes rigorous IS research across behavioral, economic, and design-science traditions, often with a strongly quantitative or economic orientation reflecting its INFORMS lineage. Like MISQ it demands a genuine theoretical contribution to IS, but its center of gravity tilts toward analytical models, econometric identification, and quantitative design-science. The readership is the quantitative 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 INFORMS / ISR site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names ISR (or the AIS Senior Scholars' Basket / INFORMS IS flagship) as the venue.
- A quantitative or economic IS paper — econometric, analytical-modeling, or quantitative design-science — needs an IS flagship.
- A behavioral IS paper with strong measurement needs an INFORMS-audience home.
- The author needs ISR's desk-reject risks and a credible Basket / INFORMS alternative list before submitting.
