“…That the MIS core is contained within these 14 journals is also supported by Hamilton and Ives (1982) who found that 87% of the most frequently cited articles between 1970 and 1979 were published by journals in this list and by Culnan (1987), who found that 90% of the frequently cited articles between 1980 and 1985 were published by journals in this list. The next step is to determine which of the 14 journals fulfill the second MIS core requirement:…”

“…That MIS authors publish in multiple subfields and the coverage of MIS research diversity by a few journals supports the notion of an MIS core. This is further supported by Hamilton and Ives (1982), who found that 87% of the most frequently cited articles between 1970 and 1979 were published by Harvard Business Review, Management Science, Communications of the ACM, and Sloan Management Review, and by Culnan (1987) who found that these journals plus MIS Quarterly, Decision Sciences, and Interfaces included 90% of the frequently cited articles between 1980 and 1985. We thus have a reasonable expectation that there exists a cohesive core of influential journals which publish articles over the range of MIS topics.…”

“…This difficulty is compounded by the fact that the importance of research may not be apparent for some years after publication. [Hamilton & Ives (1982) found the modal and median elapsed time between MIS article publication and MIS article citation to be about 2 and 4 years, respectively.] Given the importance associated with journal influence, attempts have been made to provide an empirical basis for MIS journal influence rankings.…”

Abstract-Due to difficulties with objectively evaluating the quality of MIS research, attitudes about journals in which this research is published play an important role in determining the allocation of research resources. To provide a more objective basis for these attitudes, we examine journal influence in communicating MIS research over a 9-year period using citation analyses, researcher perceptions, and publishing patterns of top MIS research universities. As a result of these analyses, we identify a cohesive stable group of highly influential journals which can reasonably be called an MIS core. An internal ranking of this core is then determined which is significantly different from prior rankings.

“…This was based on the belief that practitioners and academics prefer using journals to acquire and disseminate new knowledge [49,142]. Other means, such as books, are normally confined to the dissemination of previously established knowledge [74]. We would, however, like to note that certain books [80,156] and conferences (e.g.…”

Abstract:Outsourcing has become one of the strategies adopted by businesses to manage their IS. During the last few years, the use of outsourcing has resulted in an increase in the volume of literature devoted to it. We decided therefore to analyse the literature with the aim of identifying the main topics, the methodologies most often applied and the authors and countries that have contributed most to the area of IS Outsourcing. We also intended to offer suggestions on improving research in this field. The paper thus provides a review of articles about IS Outsourcing published in the most prestigious journals of the IS area and journals of Management or Business.

“…One possible inference that can be drawn from these data, consistent with what has been reported elsewhere for the discipline as a whole, is that the IS field is multidisciplinary and while IS research draws extensively on a greater variety of disciplines (reflected also in the larger number of disciplines constituting the citations made in ISR papers), it contributes less to these other disciplines. A second inference supports the notion of a cumulative research tradition (Hamilton andIves 1982, Grover et al 2006) Note. For each year, bars represent proportion of total citations for that year associated with the discipline.…”

Editorial—On the Intellectual Structure and Evolution of ISR

S cholars within fields frequently introspect about the evolution of their research disciplines, asking if the discipline is developing a cumulative research tradition, influencing scholarly work in other fields, and expanding its boundaries. In this spirit, I examine the intellectual structure and evolution of one disciplinary journal, ISR, over the most recent four-year period (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). I use a census of citation data and classify journals citing ISR and cited by ISR into the disciplines they represent. Analyzing 12,833 citations to ISR from 100 journals, and 7,731 citations from ISR to papers published in 67 journals I find that, consistent with prior studies, ISR reflects the multidisciplinarity of the information systems (IS) discipline, its boundaries are expanding to include new disciplines, and the journal draws extensively on other IS journals. I raise some questions for further introspection about the impact and visibility of IS research.
