  1. Juhani Iivari University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland Opportunities and challenges for Europeans to publish in top A level journals

  2. An ideal submission • 1.A good research idea/problem • theoretically interesting • important in practice • 2. Methodologically sound • 3. Significant contributions • 4. Well-argued • 5. Well-written

  3. Research idea/problem • North-America Europe • Innovative/novel X XX • Rooted in theory XX(X) X • Relevant to practice X X(X)

  4. Methodology • North-America Europe • Quantitative XXX X • Qualitative XX X • Non-empirical X X(X)

  5. Contribution • North-America Europe • Challenges existing X XX • knowledge • Contributes to theory XX X • Relevant to practice X X(X)

  6. Argumentation and writing • North-America Europe • Argumentation XX X • Writing XXX X

  7. Relative advantages of European IS research • Closer contacts between sister disciplines of computing • computer science Problems • software engineering of finding • information systems synergy! • Closer contacts with industry • EU research funding Very • national research funding applied • Design science of building artifacts • becoming more accepted and More dominant • - methodologically more rigorous in CS and SE!

  8. Research idea/problem • North-America Europe • Innovative/novel X XX • Rooted in theory XX(X) XX • Relevant to practice X XX • X = challenges • X = opportunities

  9. Methodology • North-America Europe • Quantitative XXX XXX • Qualitative XX XX • Non-empirical X XX • conceptual-analytical • constructive (design science)

  10. Contribution • North-America Europe • Challenges existing X XX • knowledge • Contributes to theory XX XX • Relevant to practice X XX

  11. Argumentation • North-America Europe • Argumentation XX XX • Writing XXX XX

  12. Questions • Should we Europeans adapt to the expectations of the (North-American) A journals • or • could the A journals adapt their editorial policies • to emphasize more innovativeness and novelty • more practical relevance • more methodological plurality?

  13. Real challenges:Emphasis when evaluating the paper • North-America Europe • Innovative/novel (20 %) X XX • Rooted in theory (77.5 %) XX X • Relevant to practice (2.5 %) X XX

  14. Real challengesEmphasis when evaluating the paper • North-America Europe • Innovative/novel (30 %) X XX • Rooted in theory (60 %) XX XX • Relevant to practice (10 %) X XX

  15. Real challenge:Methodological balance • North-America Europe • Quantitative (45%) XXX X • Qualitative (11 %) XX X • Non-empirical (38 %) X XX

  16. Real challenges:Methodological balance • North-America Europe • Quantitative (33 %) XXX XXX • Qualitative (33 %) XX XX • Non-empirical (33 %) X XX • conceptual-analytical • constructive (design science)

  17. Thank you!
