Abstract

MIS research is emerging as an electric and diverse body of literature. Frameworks have been developed to define and direct research efforts. Considerable variation in research methodology, however, creates problems of effective comparison and evaluation of merit. In this article, MIS research is reviewed from the perspective of an examination of leading journals in the field. A taxonomy is proposed and tested, illustrating research preference by journals and universities. Significant differences of research methodology and .journal preference are noted between the top publishing universities both within that group and in comparison to the wider body of publishing institutions.
