  1. Global Perceptions of IS Journals 指導教授：郭建明 報 告 者：楊景隆

  2. Background • As the pressure for scientifically rigorous and relevant research mounts, authors need to identify those outlets with the highest visibility for their work and those publications in which readers seek the best sources for informed IS research. • Academics and institutions all over the world place significant importance to journal rankings for promotion, tenure, and assessment purposes. • Hardgrave and Walstrom rightly argue their data cannot make the common distinction between A-level and B-level journals.

  3. Online Questionnaire • We targeted members of the ISWorld mailing list and the IS Faculty Directory on www.isworld.org. • Of the 3,855 email invitations that we sent out, 1,094 bounced (2,761 email recipients) and 1,010 responses were collected of which 979 were usable. This represents a 35.45% usable response rate. • By region, we received 605 responses from North America, 224 from Europe and 150 from Australasia (Asia, New Zealand, and Australia).

  6. Journal Readership by Region

  7. Conclusion • Differences between the three regions have been identified in terms of characteristic discrepancies in popularity, position, percent top 10 and readership. • The undisputed leading journals in the world are MISQ, Communications, and ISR. • The study’s key finding is that perceived journal quality is a multifaceted concept, the assessment of which may vary considerably depending on the measurement approach and the subjective regional stance one chooses to adopt.
