New style: MIS Quarterly

mronkko
I just committed a style for MIS Quarterly https://www.zotero.org/svn/csl/misq.csl

http://www.misq.org/roadmap/standards.html

Comments are welcome.

I did the style by modifying the APA style. How should I give proper credit to the authors of this style?
  • adamsmith
    when I do that I either add myself as a contributor - leaving the original authors or contributors intact - or as an author - leaving them as contributors - depending on how much I actually changed.
  • timolsen
    This looks great. I am excited to try it out. Thanks!
  • spaetz
    Thanks for the style. Citations don't have a (author, year) but a (author year) citation as per http://www.misq.org/roadmap/standards.html. I just modified the style in svn to reflect that.
  • spaetz
    I have one issue. In a "document" aka working paper, the Publisher gets inserted directly after a comma without a space.

    e.g. this is the reference:
    Alexy, O., and Leitner, M. 2009. “Norms, Rewards, and their Effect on the Motivation of Open Source Software Developers,”SSRN Working Paper.

    created by this entry:

    @misc{alexy_norms_2009,
    title = {Norms, Rewards, and their Effect on the Motivation of Open Source Software Developers},
    url = {http://ssrn.com/abstract=1007689},
    publisher = {{SSRN} Working Paper},
    author = {Oliver Alexy and Martin Leitner},
    year = {2009},
    keywords = {Motivation, Norms, Open Source}
    }

    I failed to fix it, can somewhat knowledgable look into this?
  • spaetz
    P.S. WHile someone is at it. Why does the URL not get inserted when there are no page numbers? I though this should be the case....
  • dw_p
    The issues identified by spaetz have still not been resolved.

    Example 1: Business Technology Office. 2011. “Business and Web 2.0: An Interactive Feature,” McKinsey Quarterly (November).

    Missing URL: https://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Business_and_Web_20_An_interactive_feature_2431

    Example 2: Lin, N. 2001. Social Capital: A Theory of Social Structure and Action, Structural Analysis in the Social SciencesCambridge: Cambridge University Press.

    Example 3: Majchrzak, A., Wagner, C., and Yates, D. 2006. “Corporate Wiki Users: Results of a Survey,” In Proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on WikisNew York, NY: Association for Computing Machinery, pp. 99–104.

    Missing spaces behind publication title/before place of publication.

    I can fix this, but can you point out where MISQ defines how URLs are cited. What is the item type for the Example 1?
  • fbennett
    edited May 9, 2012
    (I checked the guide earlier [when dw_p flagged this issue on Twitter], and the MISQ guide does not provide any guidance on how URLs should be incorporated into citations. The guide does say to look to articles published in MISQ for examples; but the journal is behind a paywall, so we're reliant on dw_p and other MISQ subscribers to provide something concrete to go on.)

    (... and after posting this, I see that mronkko is the original author of the style -- oops. I'll get out of the way; but specific guidance would be good to have in any case.)
  • dw_p
    Just looked up a couple of sample www references:

    Howe, J. 2006. “The Rise of Crowdsourcing,” Wired (14:6), June
    (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/crowds.html?pg=
    4&topic=crowds&topic_set=).

    Wilkinson, D. M., and Huberman, B. A. 2007. “Assessing the
    Value of Cooperation in Wikipedia,” First Monday (http://www.
    firstmonday.org/issues/issue12_4/wilkinson/).
  • dw_p
    Thanks for the quick responses!
  • mronkko
    Well, I have a paper in review in this journal, so I might just email the editor about this and ask him.

    Which article are these sample reference from?
  • dw_p
    These references are taken from the following article:

    Kane, G. C., & Fichman, R. G. 2009. The Shoemaker’s Children: Using Wikis for Information Systems Teaching, Research, and Publication. MIS Quarterly, 33(1): 1–17.
  • mronkko
    It seems that including URLs is done very inconsistently. I emailed the journal and asked how they would like to have it.


    (Shmueli and Koppius 2011) cites a published journal paper and provides an URL as well

    Vaughan, T. S., and Berry, K. E. 2005. “Using Monte Carlo Techniques to Demonstrate the Meaning and Implications of Multicollinearity,” Journal of Statistics Education (13:1) (online at http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v13n1/vaughan.html).

    (Kane and Fichman 2009) cite a web page like this

    Wilkinson, D. M., and Huberman, B. A. 2007. “Assessing the Value of Cooperation in Wikipedia,” First Monday (http://www. firstmonday.org/issues/issue12_4/wilkinson/).
    (Gefen et al. 2011) cite an unpublished journal paper providing an URL.
    Muthén, B. O., Asparouhov, T., Hunter, A., and Leuchter, A. forthcoming, “Growth Modeling with Non-Ignorable Dropout: Alternative Analyses of the STAR*D Antidepressant Trial,” Psychological Methods (http://www.statmodel.com/download/FebruaryVersionWide.pdf).
    (Agarwal and Smith 2010) cites URL in three different ways. The first does not have access date, the difference between the second and third is that the URL and accessed is separated by a comma in the second and semicolon in the third.
    Walker, R. W. 2007. “Infrastructure Security on GAO’s High-Risk List,” Government Computer News, January 31 (available online at http://gcn.com/articles/2007/01/31/infrastructure-security-on- gaos-highrisk-list.aspx).
    White House. 2009a. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” (available online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/recovery/ about/, accessed on August 18, 2009).
    White House. 2009b. “Cyberspace Policy Review” (available online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/ Cyber space_Policy_Review_final.pdf; accessed on June 30, 2009).

    It seems that the city/place does not get correctly inserted in the current version of the MISQ style.

    For references to books, use the author's name (same style as above), title, publisher, city, state/country, year, page, or chapter.

    Examples:

    Helfat, C. E., Finkelstein, S., Mitchell, W., Peteraf, M., Singh, H., Teece, D., and Winter, S. G. 2009. Dynamic Capabilities: Understanding Strategic Change in Organizations, John Wiley & Sons.

    I'm not quite sure I follow? The sample reference I see in the documentation is:

    Bonini, C. P. 1963. Simulation of Information and Decision Systems in the Firm, Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall.

    That's exactly what I'm getting with the style. Is this using Zotero? Are you sure you have the city entered in the data correctly?
  • dw_p
    Apologies, Adam, my fault. I work with GoogleBooks a lot and I think I have an issue exporting from there. In fact, none of the sources extracted from GoogleBooks have a city/place attached to them. I should have realized this beforehand.
  • adamsmith
    It's not in google's data, unfortunately, so we can't do anything about that on the import side, either.
