WHAT’S BEEN DONE, WHAT’S BEEN FOUND, AND WHAT IT MEANS (19 April 2023)

Description

We continue our series of episodes in which we talk about several of the most important journals in our field. Today, we speak with Dorothy Leidner, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Association for Information Systems. We talk about several innovations the journal has implemented and the range of genres that it welcomes. We also talk about what makes truly great papers different and what distinguishes a literature review from a theoretical paper.
