Stuff I've done (2026 Apr 4)
When I'm working on research, sometimes I can go long stretches without feeling like I've really accomplished anything. But in between working on papers, I do occasionally get stuff done. I'm always working on a million things, but these ones got done done in the past few weeks:
- MISQ Typst Template (
magnificent-misq). I like Typst for research writing, and IS journals don't have templates yet. So as I convert papers and submit them, I'm sure there will be more templates created. This Typst template for the MIS Quarterly journal and my AMCIS/ICIS template are now in the Typst template repo, so you can plug them right in at typst.app or in your local typst files.

Random side note: Was working on a paper and having Claude check some things for me, and Endnote citations were drastically inflating the size of the paper (and thus the token count that Claude had to deal with). I wonder if plain text writing formats like Typst will become more popular with AI-assisted writing because they are readable without any XML document complicatery. You can even split your document across different files for different sections to even better manage context.
- Typst CV template. I've been using this LaTeX template for years, and as I've been out of the LaTeX game for a while, it's gotten harder for me to remember how to update it every year. So I converted it to Typst, and added a feature I've wanted for a while: link it to your Zotero or .bib collection of your publications, and it will automatically create the publications section, with separate sections for journals, conferences, and others.
- Updated the Journal of Management Information Systems citation style for Zotero. Occasionally journals change their citation styles, and this file hadn't been updated since 2014, so it needed some tweaking. Got that updated and merged into their repository.
Other exciting things are coming, so hopefully there will be some updates in the next few weeks.
