An Evaluation of Publication Productivity in Information Systems: 1999 to 2003

This study reports on data about publication productivity of information systems (IS) researchers from 1999 to 2003, collecting information about IS papers published in twelve IS journals during this period.

Abstract

University hiring, promotion and tenure decisions make researchers' publication productivity an important issue. This study reports on data about publication productivity of information systems (IS) researchers from 1999 to 2003. We collected information about IS papers published in twelve IS journals during this period. After classification, the most productive individuals and institutions for this sample are identified. We also compared our findings with past research to demonstrate the changes in publication productivity over time. Publication productivity changes somewhat among researchers and institutions.
