报告简介：

Most reviewed or desk-rejected research articles lack novelty or a distinctive feature, or are rejected because the review panel identifies important weaknesses related to the phenomenon, its framing, the meta-theoretical lens, the research design, and/or crafting the narrative. Drawing on my experience as an engaged editor and scientist, I will share my decalogue on how to pursue theorizing innovation at both the process and product levels to develop impactful information systems research.
