Workshop Objectives and Design

MIS Quarterly expects virtuous reviewing as described in the following editorial:  Writing a Virtuous Review<https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3ty6mylhvpr6vm/edcommentsv40n3.pdf?dl=0>. The objective of the workshop is to coach participants who have reviewed, or are interested in reviewing, for MISQ on how to develop a virtuous review. The workshop is designed to provide participants in the workshop with (1) feedback from MISQ Senior Editors and Associate Editors on a review that the participants develop for the workshop and (2) the opportunity to discuss with editors and other participants on how to develop a virtuous review.

Based on research expertise and interests, participants will be assigned to review the initial version of a paper submitted to MIS Quarterly whose review process has concluded. Participants will be expected to submit their review prior to the workshop.

The workshop will include:


1.     Roundtable discussions among participants and MISQ editors to provide feedback on reviews submitted by participants

2.     Roundtable discussions among participants and MISQ editors of the “actual” review packets for the paper through rounds of the MISQ review process

3.     Editors’ panel discussion on characteristics of virtuous reviewing, structuring reviews, and reviewing revisions
