“…As Sarker et al (2012) point out, in North American journals 39% of qualitative or critical articles have a European coauthor. Pouloudi et al (2012) conclude that Mediterranean conferences follow the same pattern as other European journals. Truex et al (2009) identify three different categories of scholars: those who publish primarily in North American journals, those who publish primarily in European journals, and a transnational set of authors who publish in both geographies.…”

Information Systems (IS) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI)-including Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)-address the development and adoption of computing systems by organizations, individuals, and teams. While each has its own emphasis, the timelines for adopting qualitative and critical research differ dramatically. IS used both in the late 1980s, but critical theory appeared in HCI only in 2000. Using a hermeneutic literature review, the paper traces these histories; it applies academic cultures theory as an explanatory framework. Institutional factors include epistemic bases of source disciplines, number and centrality of publication outlets, and political and geographic contexts. Key innovations in IS are covered in detail. The rise of platformization drives the fields toward a common scope of study with an imperative to address societal issues that emerge at scale.

“…Furthermore, as mentioned by [13], European researchers tend to prefer active participation in research, and they also tend to prefer more interpretivist-and practitioner-oriented journals than North American researchers do. Another research work with a geographical focus is the work of [32]. They developed a profile of IS research for the Mediterranean region [32].…”

Global trends towards the rapidly increasing use of information systems (IS) apply to the IS research domain and related publications. Nonetheless, investigations of trends in publication behavior and emergence as well as changes in IS research are usually narrowly focused. This article contributes to the growing number of articles published in the IS domain by analyzing the evolution of trends and major research fields as well as the regional distribution of publications in the AIS Senior Scholars’ Basket of Eight (AIS Bo8) and the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), changes in publication behavior, and the emergence of as well as changes to IS research fields and trends. Our semi-automated literature review integrates scientific methods to support the review and classification of publications. Based on 6692 articles published in the ICIS proceedings and the AIS Bo8 journals in a period of 16 years, we elaborate the key characteristics of research development. Our contribution provides and interprets a contemporaneous account of contextual factors influencing the IS research domain. Thus, our study enhances understanding of the development of the IS research domain.

“…• The inner "pull" may appear only when the first two points are not only acknowledged but also considered as mandatory for getting research funds, which is far from a reality. Unfortunately, the evolution of funds in the southern Mediterranean remain structurally low in terms of absolute values and in proportion to the economies of the Mediterranean countries (El-Jardali et al, 2012;Pouloudi et al, 2012;Ismail et al, 2013;Mandil et al, 2018). Even worse, the orientation toward "excellency" as quantified by publication and funding metrics did discourage the promotion of challenging research regarding these criteria 2004; Porter et al, 2006;El-Jardali et al, 2012);…”

This article addresses the difficulty of introducing and establishing multidisciplinarity in environmental research within and among the South-Mediterranean environmental research national communities. Moreover, this work attends to assess the internal and external structural factors treating such complex issues in rural, urban, and peri-urban contexts as well as the connections and dependencies of these factors. Throughout a series of programs, projects, and actions that involved scientists and scholars from Algeria, France, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia, some common patterns can be observed despite notable differences in environmental and political contexts. Thus, the main common issues involve funding matters (budget reductions and less versatility), administrative and social hierarchy, relatively small connections with public services and community representatives, and finally the reluctance shown by many researchers to make data available for the community. Nevertheless, the fact that national and international (Arabic and French speaking sphere) researcher's communities have progressively built mutual knowledge thanks to different collaborations is a major achievement, sustaining multidisciplinarity in environmental research. Indeed, this allowed the elaboration of sustainability metrics, demarches, and procedures for assessing environmentally and socioeconomically complex issues.
