AGAINST THE GRAIN

https://www.charleston-hub.com/media/atg/

AGAINST THE GRAIN (ISSN: 1043-2094) is your key to the latest news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents. Our goal is to link publishers, vendors, and librarians by reporting on the issues, literature, and people that impact the world of books and journals.

There are two distinct components of Against the Grain: the print journal that is published six times a year, in February, April, June, September, and November and December/January, and the ATG NewsChannel website that is updated daily with the latest news, announcements, and online-only content. Although the majority of the online content is open access, our website also allows subscribers to have full-text access to the print issues with a username and password log in. The print and online subscriptions are bundled: an online user account accompanies your print subscription.

“Biz of Digital” is a column in AGAINST THE GRAIN. It features discussions by working librarians on digital collections, digital repositories, or digital scholarship. Its audience is librarians in all types of libraries and vendors of products, services, and systems that support library digital services. Its focus is on current practices, techniques, processes, and information on events in the field. Against the Grain is a down-to-earth, practice-orientated library journal.

Ideas for upcoming “Biz of Digital” articles include:

• Managing and/or promoting your repository
• Repository workflows and projects
• Repository migration and/or re-structuring
• Open access, open peer review, open science, etc.
• Selecting, implementing, and promoting an altmetrics services

Feel free to choose any of these topics, or one of your own. Theoretical articles, research reports, “how-to” articles, case studies, literature reviews and conceptual or opinion pieces are welcome. Article length should be approximately 1200-1500 words (4-5 pages, double-spaced). Contributions may be written by individuals or co-authored.

The journal is receptive to a wide variety of phenomena and topics related to the design, management, use, valuation, and impacts of information technologies at different levels of analysis (e.g., individuals, groups, firms, networks, societies, and nations). High-quality theoretical, empirical, design, and analytical work on any of the above topics is welcomed by the journal. The journal publishes research that examines topics from a wide range of research traditions including, but not limited to, cognitive psychology, economics, computer science, operations research, design science, organization theory, organization behavior, sociology, and strategic management. Diverse methods and research approaches are welcome. Reviews and syntheses of prior contributions to relevant topics are appropriate, provided they make significant contributions to ongoing research streams in the information systems research community.

The primary form of publication in ISR is a Research Article. Research articles make novel, innovative, and rigorous original contributions, aim to break new ground, generate substantive insights on important phenomena, and have a strong grounding in current or new theory. The journal also welcomes Research Commentaries and Research Notes. Research Commentaries are designed to provide a critical evaluation and roadmap for future research on questions of significance to the information systems community. They describe an interesting or novel perspective or phenomenon; explain why this perspective is needed and how it is missing in the current research and thinking, and present directions for further research and practice. Research Notes are shorter in length than traditional Research Articles but nonetheless make an important and original research contribution by extending well researched phenomena. ISR aims to publish papers that are domain-relevant to its readers. Papers purely focused on methodology that are more appropriate for other outlets will be considered only when they demonstrate the value of the research for the information systems community.

MIS QUARTERLY

https://www.misq.org/

The editorial objective of the MIS QUARTERLY is the enhancement and communication of knowledge concerning the development of IT-based services, the management of IT resources, and the use, impact, and economics of IT with managerial, organizational, and societal implications. Professional issues affecting the IS field as a whole are also in the purview of the journal.

The MIS QUARTERLY’s trifecta vision is to (1) achieve impact on scholarship and practice as the leading source of novel and accreted IS knowledge, (2) exhibit range in work published with respect to problem domains and stakeholders addressed as well as theoretical and methodological approaches used, and (3) execute effective editorial processes in a timely manner.

Regardless of whether an IS researcher’s attention to a problem originates in the practical world or a theoretical domain or some combination, the researcher needs to surface why answering the question will matter.

A necessary condition for publication in MISQ is that the answer to a research question needs to make a significant scholarly contribution to the IS discipline.

Practical utility, where the work makes or has the potential to make a broader impact on business and society, is a highly desirable characteristic of work targeted at MISQ—it complements, but does not substitute for, the scholarly contribution of the work.

Aesthetics, arising from the “powerful simplicity” of the answer—be it mathematical or qualitative, can be an important differentiator of the work.

As such, an ideal contribution to MISQ is one where the answer to the question is valuable on all three dimensions—scholarly, practical utility, and aesthetics.

Interdisciplinary papers are welcomed at MISQ, with the expectation that these papers place salience on the role of IS in the formulation of the problem and consequently in the contribution.
