Guides academic authors through the Information Systems Research (ISR) peer review workflow and helps interpret decision letters.

ISR Review Process is a specialized Claude Code skill tailored for academic researchers submitting to the Information Systems Research (ISR) journal. It demystifies the INFORMS-style editorial structure—clarifying the distinct roles of the Editor-in-Chief (EIC), Senior Editor (SE), and Associate Editor (AE)—while providing structured methodologies to deconstruct complex decision letters. The skill helps authors identify binding Senior Editor directives versus optional reviewer requests, separate core IS contribution challenges from methodological execution issues, and build an actionable decision-letter ledger before drafting formal rebuttals.
