JAIS Topic & Category Selection
Evaluates research paper fit, confirms load-bearing IT artifacts, and targets the optimal submission category for the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS).

The JAIS Topic & Category Selection skill guides academic authors and Information Systems researchers through early-stage submission targeting for the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS). It helps verify that the digital technology or IT artifact performs load-bearing theoretical work rather than serving as background context, tests topic positioning against sibling journals like MISQ, ISR, and JMIS to prevent fit-based desk rejects, and accurately routes manuscripts into one of JAIS's distinct submission categories (such as Research Articles, Theory, Literature Reviews, or Foundational Research) with appropriate length budgets.
