IS Research, Methods, and Theories
Information Systems Research
AIS offers a variety of different resources and services intended to help you as you complete your research in information systems, including a review of different of research methods, journal lists and rankings, and more.
Methods and Theories
Information systems researchers use a bevvy of research methods and theoretical lenses to explore phenomena of interest. The following links will take you to sites that have been developed by members of the IS community who are experts in particular areas.
Journals and Journal Rankings
Information systems, like other fields, has several publishing outlets for researchers. Not all outlets have the same acceptance rates, submission rates, reviewing procedures, or editorial boards. Naturally, prestige is at least partially dependent on those factors. Rather than have a set of “acceptable” journals imposed upon us, AIS offers these resources for its members to support their tenure and promotion cases.
Indexing
AIS continuously searches for opportunities to expand the reach and accessibility of research published by AIS and affiliated journals and conferences. This involves negotiating and entering indexing agreements with major aggregators and databases. For more information about the status of indexing, click here.
