Abstract

There has been an increasing focus internationally on the quality and impact of research outputs in recent years.Several countries, including the United Kingdom and New Zealand have implemented schemes to base the funding of research on research quality.The Australian government is planning to implement a Research Quality Framework (RQF) in the next few years that will impact greatly on funding of research in Australian universities.A key issue for Australian researchers is how the quality and impact of research is defined and measured in their discipline areas.Although peer review is widely used to assess the quality of research outputs, it is expensive and labour intensive.Other surrogate quality measures are often used.This paper focuses on measuring the quality of research outputs in the information systems discipline.We argue that measures such as citation indexes are inappropriate for information systems and that the publication outlet is a more suitable indicator of quality.We present a ranking list of journals for the information systems discipline, and discuss the approach we have taken in developing the list.We discuss how the ranking list may be used in defining and measuring the quality of information systems research outputs, the limitations inherent in the approach and discuss lessons we have learned in developing the list.

  • Seventeen high-ranked IS journals and conferences were selected as representative of the whole body of knowledge on trust in e-commerce.

    “First, 17 highranked IS journals and conferences, among the considerable number of research conducted on trust in e-commerce, were selected as a representative of the whole body of knowledge and searched with a predefined set of keywords.”

    From Buyers' trust and mistrust in e-commerce platforms: a synthesizing literature review (2022) · cites this paper as Fisher et al. 2007

    The Stage one section describes the paper’s construction of an IS journal ranking, and Additional information notes a source list that ranks journals and conferences. The paper does not say that 17 venues were selected or that they represent the body of knowledge on trust in e-commerce; those appear to be the citing authors’ selection and rationale. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
