[AISWorld] * MISQ Virtual Author Development Workshop *

[Andrew Burton-Jones]

MIS Quarterly Virtual Author Development Workshop - Submissions Due May 10

MIS Quarterly will hold a virtual author development workshop on 19 June, 2023.

The workshop will provide authors with (1) feedback from MISQ Senior Editors and Associate Editors on potential submissions to MISQ and (2) the opportunity to discuss with editors and other authors how to develop papers for submission and resubmission to MISQ or elsewhere.

The workshop will be held in a virtual format, in two time slots to accommodate for time differences:


  *   Monday [June 19th, 2023] 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM (US Eastern Standard Time) (this session is likely to work for AIS Region 1 - N. America and S. America)
  *   Monday [June 19th, 2023] 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM (Australian Eastern Time) / 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Central European Summer Time) / 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (China Standard Time) (this session is likely to work for AIS Regions 2 and 3 - Asia, Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, and Oceania)

Each of the workshop time slots has a limited capacity.  Please get your application in early.

The workshop will include:

  1.  Roundtable discussion led by editors on authors' submissions to the workshop.
  2.  Editors' discussion on developing papers for initial submission to MISQ.
  3.  Editors' discussion on revising papers for MISQ.

There is no registration fee.

In our experience, the workshop not only gives helpful insights for improving authors' papers, but also gives helpful insights into the culture and policies of the journal. This can be particularly helpful for new authors.

Please note that your papers will be judged for their potential for development from our editors. Please understand that spaces are limited and we may be unable to accept all papers. Thank you!
