Learning & Documentation

Guides researchers in selecting, defending, and scoping rigorous research designs across behavioral, design-science, econometric, and qualitative traditions for MIS Quarterly submissions.

The MISQ Research Design & Methods skill helps academic researchers craft defensible methodologies tailored specifically for MIS Quarterly manuscripts. It matches theoretical claims to appropriate methodological traditions—including behavioral surveys and experiments, economics-of-IS causal identification strategies, design-science build-and-evaluate cycles, and organizational qualitative inquiries. By enforcing proactive remedies against common-method bias, establishing credible identification assumptions, planning rigorous artifact evaluations, and balancing evidence within strict MISQ page budgets, this skill ensures manuscripts withstand rigorous peer review before moving to empirical data analysis.
