Forums for MIS scholars

A follow-up to a 1991 study was undertaken to determine the perceptions of MIS faculty regarding the quality of journals and conferences as publication outlets. MIS faculty were asked to rate journals with regard to their appropriateness for MIS publication and rate conferences based on their value to the MIS field. Overall results indicate that the top 4 journals in MIS are MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Management Science and Communications of the ACM. The top conference is the International Conference on Information Systems. Comparison with the results from 1991 reveals relative stability of the ranking of the top-10 journals, although the top 2 journals now appear to be pure MIS.
