# Journal of the Association for Information Systems (journal-of-the-association-for-information-systems)
## Journal positioning
The Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) is the flagship journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) and a member of the AIS Senior Scholars' Basket of eight. It is known for theory-rich, methodologically broad IS scholarship: it welcomes conceptual and theory-development papers as well as empirical work across behavioral, economic, design-science, and qualitative traditions. JAIS is a natural home for ambitious theoretical contributions and methodological pluralism in IS. The readership is the global AIS 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 JAIS / AIS site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JAIS (or the AIS flagship / Senior Scholars' Basket) as the venue.
- A theory-development, conceptual, or methodologically diverse IS paper needs the association's flagship home.
- An empirical or design IS paper with a strong theoretical ambition needs a pluralistic outlet.
- The author needs JAIS's desk-reject risks and a credible Basket / INFORMS alternative list before submitting.
