Abstract

MIS Quarterly expects virtuous reviewing as I described in my editorial "Writing a Virtuous Review" (Rai 2016).Former MISQ EICs have discussed related aspects of reviewing.Carol Saunders (2005) differentiated between two types of reviewer mindsets: diamond cutters, who seek to focus on the gem-in-the rough and help authors to develop these ideas, and gatekeepers, who seek to ensure that problematic ideas do not flow forward.Detmar Straub ( 2008) eloquently discussed why a sole gatekeeper mentality is likely to deny a paper a fair hearing and enhance Type II reviewing errors where good papers are rejected.These and other editorials describe a vocabulary and espoused practices for virtuous reviewing, and can be accessed on the MISQ site at https://misq.org/reviews/.How do we develop virtuous reviewers?This development requires learning how to create a virtuous review for a paper.Such learning is complex.While reading editorials and listening to panel discussions on reviewing can be useful to understand the concept and guidelines of virtuous reviewing, learning how to create virtuous reviews requires deeper learning.Such learning involves applying the guidelines to develop reviews, receiving feedback from mentors, comparing reviews with those developed by others, and conversations with peers working to achieve the same learning objective.To actively promote the development of virtuous reviewers for MISQ and more broadly for the IS community, MISQ launched its Reviewer Development Workshops in 2016.In this editorial, I discuss the design of the workshop from a cognitive process perspective and then proceed to describe the workshop setup and activities from this perspective.
