Individual skill
jms-methods
Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — matching design (qualitative case/ethnography, process/longitudinal, survey, archival, experiment, multi-method) to the theoretical question, with qualitative rigor treated as first-class. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation or trustworthiness checks (jms-data-analysis).

# Research Design & Methods (jms-methods)
## When to trigger
- The design may not match the theory's level, timing, or causal claim
- A qualitative study's case selection, saturation, or analytic procedure is under-specified
- Quantitative data are single-source, single-wave, self-reported (common-method bias risk)
- The theory is causal but the design is cross-sectional/correlational
- A reviewer says "the design cannot test/show this" or "the method is not rigorous enough"
## Match the design to the question — pluralism with rigor
JMS welcomes **all** rigorous designs and is, distinctively, a friendly home for **qualitative and process** work — but rigor must clear a top-tier bar regardless of method. Choose the design the question demands:
