MIS Quarterly Virtual Author Development Workshop

Dear Colleagues:

Continuing an important tradition, MIS Quarterly will hold a virtual author development workshop on June 19th and 26th, 2021.

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

The workshop has traditionally been offered in a face-to-face format alongside major IS conferences. Due to the disruptions to face-to-face conferences caused by the pandemic, MISQ will offer the workshop in a virtual format.

The workshop will be offered in two time slots to accommodate for time differences:


1. Saturday [June 19th, 2021], 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Central European Time) / 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (China Standard Time) (this timeframe is likely to work for AIS Regions 2 & 3)



2. Saturday [June 26th, 2021], 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) (this timeframe is likely to work for AIS Region 1)

Each of the workshop time slots has a limited capacity of 30 authors.

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

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.

There is no registration fee for the workshop.
