Is Information Systems a Reference Discipline?
HICSS '06: Proceedings of the 39th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences - Volume 08In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the level of intellectual contribution that IS makes to other disciplines. Much of the debate that has dominated the literature so far is based on the visions and opinions of a few IS scholars. This ...
Analyzing information systems researchers' productivity and impacts: A perspective on the H index
Quantitative assessments of researchers' productivity and impacts are crucial for the information systems (IS) discipline. Motivated by its growing popularity and expanding use, we offer a perspective on the h index, which refers to the number of papers ...

Can the information systems (IS) discipline be considered a reference discipline, similar to computer science, management sciences, and organization science__?__ That is the question addressed in this article. The authors' investigation is based on citation analysis, and the conclusion is positive. The authors refer to six major journals in IS: Communications of the ACM , European Journal of Information Systems , Information Systems Journal , Information Systems Research , Information and Management , and MIS Quarterly . A major drawback of the article is the fact that the authors did not explain the investigation method they used: there are some references, but not a clear description of the methodology. For this reason, the conclusion is not very clear, and even the authors do not support it clearly. Online Computing Reviews Service
