BEING AN INSTITUTIONAL CUSTODIAN OF OUR FIELD (5 April 2023)

Description

We are starting a new series of episodes in which we talk about several of the most important journals in our field. We kick things off with Andrew Burton-Jones, the editor-in-chief of the MIS Quarterly. We talk about the history and the role of the journal in our field, what initiatives are underway to move the field forward, and of course what matters when you are trying to publish in this journal.
