misq-contribution-framing
Use when turning results or a built artifact into an explicit contribution for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — stating what new IS knowledge the paper produces (behavioral mechanism, design principles, economic effect, or organizational insight), why it matters for both IS theory and practice, and why it justifies its page budget. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (misq-data-analysis).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Contribution Framing (misq-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Results exist (or the artifact is evaluated) but the "so what for IS" is thin - A Senior Editor or reviewer calls the contribution "incremental" or "a technical exercise" - Your discussion lists findings without saying what changed in the IS knowledge base - You need a contribution statement strong enough to justify a 50–65 page slot ## State the contribution in the currency of your tradition MISQ judges contribution within whichever IS tradition the paper occupies. Name what kind of knowledge you produced. | Tradition | The contribution is... | Make it explicit by stating... | |-----------|------------------------|--------------------------------| | **Behavioral** | A new or revised mechanism about IT use/impact | What we now understand about *why* the IT effect occurs and when it reverses | | **Design science** | Generalizable **design knowledge** | The design principles that transfer beyond this artifact, plus their justificatory theory | | **Economics of IS** | A causal/economic effect or mechanism of IT | The identified effect, its magnitude, and what it implies for markets/platforms/policy | | **Organizat

What does the misq-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when turning results or a built artifact into an explicit contribution for a MIS Quarterly manuscript — stating what new IS knowledge the paper produces (behavioral mechanism, design principles, economic effect, or organizational insight), why it matters for both IS theory and practice, and why it justifies its page budget. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (misq-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill misq-contribution-framing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
