IS Journal Rankings Versus Citation Analysis: Consistency and Concerns
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates relationship between the journal ranking lists reported in previous studies on IS journal quality and the rankings derived based on citation data. Journals are categorized into pure, hybrid, partial, and non-IS journals. A total of 8,023 articles published in 38 journals are analyzed and 27,567 citations made to these articles are collected. Five citation-based indices are derived from the collected citation data. Correlation analyses are conducted to examine the relationship and results show strong relationships only for pure IS journals. Then, a concern regarding which journals should be included on IS journal ranking lists, practical implication, further research, and limitations are discussed. Keyword: Journal ranking, citation analysis, IS discipline, IS research
