Publishing in the top Management Information Systems (MIS) journals is becoming increasingly difficult. Sometimes four or five lengthy review cycles are sometimes needed to publish a paper, and the refereeing standards have become much more demanding compared to those a decade ago. At the same time, there are more academics trying to publish in these few elite journals, including European scholars in recent years.

Dr. Izak Benbasat will discuss the steps one goes through in getting his/her paper published and offer advice about what to do at each of these steps. Group discussion will focus on suggestions for achieving success in publishing, and what the MIS community can and should do to make the review process more reasonable, efficient and effective.

Dr. Izak Benbasat is a Fellow of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Royal Society of Canada and Sauder Distinguished Professor of Information Systems at the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia (UBC). . He is the author with the highest number of total publications in Information Systems Research and in the MIS Quarterly, the two best journals in information systems, for the years 1990-2014.
