(Charlottesville, VA) August 21, 2025 – Silverchair and MIS Quarterly (MISQ) today announced the launch of the journal on the Silverchair Platform (view the new site here). MIS Quarterly has been partnered with Silverchair’s ScholarOne Manuscripts product since 2007 and may now leverage the efficiencies of the new combined organization.  

MIS Quarterly is a top-rated peer-reviewed academic journal covering research in management information systems and information technology. With this launch, MIS Quarterly has transformed their online presence with a streamlined user experience and powerful self-service capabilities. The Silverchair Platform's comprehensive suite of intuitive tools empowers MIS Quarterly staff to independently manage their site, control access permissions, handle content deposits, and oversee day-to-day operations—all while reducing costs and maximizing efficiency. 

For smaller publishers, this partnership demonstrates how Silverchair's flexible platform delivers enterprise-level functionality without the complexity or overhead typically associated with such robust systems. The self-service tools are designed to be accessible to lean teams, allowing publishers to maintain full control over their content and operations while benefiting from cutting-edge technology and streamlined workflows. 

"We're thrilled to announce the successful launch of MIS Quarterly on the Silverchair Platform," said Silverchair CEO Will Schweitzer. "Our client community spans the full spectrum of academic publishing—from independent societies and small specialized publishers to large commercial enterprises—and we're designed to serve all their varied needs. Our partnership with MIS Quarterly exemplifies how our platform delivers both the sophisticated functionality that established journals require and the accessible, cost-effective tools that make advanced publishing technology available to organizations of all sizes." 

MIS Quarterly is pleased to partner with Silverchair to deliver high-quality research for scholars and IS practitioners who seek to better understand the role information systems and technology plays in shaping our business and society,” Publisher of MIS Quarterly Alok Gupta said. “This new and improved platform is a strong step forward in our mission to advance the IS field while spotlighting the real-world impact this important research offers.”
