isr-topic-selection

separate

Use when shaping or sanity-checking a research question for Information Systems Research (ISR) — testing sociotechnical, intradisciplinary fit, IT-artifact centrality, the level(s) of analysis, and whether the question belongs at ISR versus MISQ, JMIS, or Management Science. Locks the question and genre; it does not build the mechanism (isr-theory-development).

When to use

• shaping a research question for ISR
• sanity-checking a research question for ISR
• testing sociotechnical fit
• testing intradisciplinary fit
• testing IT-artifact centrality
• determining level(s) of analysis
• choosing between ISR and neighboring venues
• locking the question and genre

When not to use

• building the mechanism
