Dear colleague Shailendra Palvia and IT colleagues:
I consider that an email as I posted yesterday deserves additional
explanations. Let me to comment briefly such concerns:
#1 Other computing disciplines deserve a high respect for pioneers and
people who have done core contributions (rather than on the number or
published papers).
#2 Other computing disciplines do not spent time in counting #papers
of authors. How can be the reaction of Computer Sciences or
Artificial Intelligence research communities whether authors rather topics
are ranked or investigated? Is it useful for advancing the planning,
design, building, operation, evaluation, and retirement of IT systems?
In these related disciplines, the seniority level is gained by
contributions (1, 2 or 3 maybe) but not for # of papers in controlled
journals.
#3 Management Science, Communications of the ACM, or Harvard Business
Review have impact factors over 2.0 - 3.0, which is normal, so an impact
factor over 5.0 suggests a bias in the community to cite papers from it.
Also, it is absurd or few known that an author were published on 15
papers in Management Science (it is not ease by the rigor of real asked
contributions but in MIS Quarterly it happens at present decade!)
#4 I see positive to conduct a study on contributions of such journals
during two epochs /the initial where IT was the focus and the type of
papers were both relevant and with rigor vs the present where a myriad of
microscopic topics are pursued and overdone for the sake of the authors
-other metrics can be used like citations, knowledge transferred to
textbooks, practical acceptation by IT industry, and maybe the
acknowledgement of IT community over top researchers/ On it, I reported
some names of people that are not in the list but that they have really
contributed (with less papers but more value) to IT discipline. Of course,
there are more, and of course, some of the suggested list are also part of
this real select group that all of us respect by their core contributions
(not for the # of papers).
#5 In IT disciplines, the core underlying purpose should be something like
"to advance our knowledge on how to plan, design, build, operate, and
retire efficient, efficacy, effective, ethic and worth-trusty IT systems"
On it, how many top IT researchers really have developed IT systems,
installed IT networking systems, evaluated IT real projects, negotiated
and discussed with IT suppliers, and have a BS or MSc on IT, SwE or
Computer Sciences? Of course there are excellent exceptions but it seems
it is not the common attribute at present (e.g. their backgrounds are from
Psychology, Business, Management, Liberal Arts, etc). It suggests a
different vision on what are IT systems.
Finally, how many topics taught in BS and MSc IT programs at present were
generated by our community ( OOA&D? not, Networking Design?, IT Project
Management ? not, Cloud Computing? not, IT Services Management? ? from IT
and related industry, Green IT? ? not, Java, PHP, etc languages? Not.
These are my arguments on a bureaucratic IT discipline at present.
In summary, I respect totally to the list of Top Senior Researchers
listed in such reports, but my core inquiry is if it is a useful
metric for advancing our IT discipline at present? and if we are
free thinkers while we support the notion of that only 6-10 journals are
important in IT research (it based on fact that the rankings show a clear
separation between such journals and the remainder available 40-60) !
My total respect for the suggested list, but I value more the IT people
(perhaps with 5-7 papers in top journals but with real contributions
to our IT discipline). Also, the classificatio on A+ vs the remainder
journals could be reduced to the usual quartiles (25 worldwide premier
journals) + 25 high quality wih worldwide scope + 25 high quality for
regional purposes + last 25 for fast publishing (variable quality)).
Thanks,
Manuel Mora

Dear Manuel and all concerned MIS colleagues:
You have articulated some very good ideas for stimulating more thinking on part of all MIS researchers regarding contributions of the MIS researchers to the world of academia and practitioners.
For reasons cited by you, some top notch articles in journals other than MISQ, JMIS, ISR are not cited enough to make an impact.
Ph.D. students and all researchers must be guided by journal editors to refer to all relevant articles on a theme. One example should illustrate this point. One Ph.D. researcher did a thesis focusing on IT Enabled Global Sourcing of Services. His/her citations focused mostly on the top three journals totally ignoring some very high quality publications in journals like JITCAR, I & M, Decision Sciences, JGITM and so on.

Dear colleagues in IT discipline:
In other IT related disciplines (Computer Sciences, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, and actually Management Science / OR), the most recognized academics are those that have introduced a core innovation (construct, theory, model, or system) which is usually used during a long time (1 or several decades). Examples: Lofti Zadeh (fuzzy logic mechanisms), E-R Model (Peter Chen), Core Competences (Gary Hamel and CK Prahalad), Soft Systems (Peter Checkland), MIS concept (Gordon Davis), IT Development Stages (Michael Gibson and Richard Nolan), EIS and CSFs (John Rockart), GDSS (Paul Gray, George Huber), 5-force model (Michael Porter), BSC (David Norton and Robert Kaplan), Ethernet protocol (Robert Metcalfe), among dozens of contributions. It is very likely that they published few papers in top journals but they contributions have shaped such disciplines (of course, your papers are largely cited). On it, the research rankings, do really reveal the critical contributi!
ons to advance our IT discipline or have we fostered an academic bureaucratic context? People in other disciplines are surprised that MIS Quarterly has an impact factor over 5.0 points, which is not natural in other disciplines. MIS Quarterly can be #1 but in all surveys the people usually ranks it by default! Are we really free academics or we have to follow the modern research IT rules (not from the 70-80s according to my estimation of type of research papers published in similar 6 journals). In summary, how many core contributions published in the 6 suggested journals have shaped in the last 10 years the IT discipline with critical research discoveries or inventions? Interesting topics like virtualization, green IT, ITSM, etc, while are investigated in IT discipline are not created (published the like original initial ideas) in our journals! We are not so creative as other Computing and Managerial disciplines are. Finally, how many patents are linked to our IT discipline!
from our IT academic community? Do we need a re-invention of !
our discipline? I believe does it, but IT leaders trained with other approach are required. Thanks, Manuel Mora, EngD.
PS. I believe we have lost the historical memory of IT leaders that have shaped our IT discipline, and that deserve a special ranking of IT Academics. The IT research rankings measures other dimensions but not the overall impact and contribution to our IT discipline.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ON
Open Data for Science and Society
Forward-Looking, Visionary Approaches for Public Sector Information Sharing
and Utilisation
AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
Open data provide an unprecedented opportunity for societies to move towards
transparency, evidence-based decisions, enhanced cohesion, public engagement
and trust. Public sector information may be offered as "open data" in many
forms and through different media: from simple datasets describing traffic
or unemployment, to web services linking and mashing information from
different sources, to interactive visualization of complex phenomena, to
citizen-based data gathering and transmission. This way, new information is
made available to scientists, citizens and enterprises for developing and
offering value-adding services, thus forming a supply chain around publicly
available open data.
In this context, the ENGAGE project (http://www.engage-project.eu ), funded
by the European Commission under the e-Infrastructures Programme, aims at
the deployment and use of an advanced service infrastructure, incorporating
distributed and diverse public sector information resources as well as data
curation, semantic annotation and visualisation tools, capable of supporting
scientific collaboration and governance-related research from
multi-disciplinary scientific communities, while also empowering the
deployment of open governmental data towards citizens.
?
Objectives of the Call:
With this call for contributions, ENGAGE aims to attract high-quality
innovative contributions, in the form of short papers that depict sound
positions and views for advancing the provision, usage and final utilization
of open data by scientists of all scientific domains, citizens and
businesses. Topics of this call include but are not fully limited to the
following:
. Justification of requirements for public sector information, orienting
from any scientific domain
. Examples and best practices of open data utilization for scientific
purposes
. Visionary ideas on open data utilization within society
. Metadata schemas for open and linked data management
. Methods and tools for open data acquisition, curation, management and
publication
. Methods and tools for integrating and combining open data from distributed
heterogeneous sources
. Methods and tools for combining linked open data with in-house or open
structured information systems in the 'deep web'
. Information systems and services for open data gathering and provision
. New approaches for public sector information visualization
. Collaborative governance approaches involving the use of open data
. Open data and citizen participation in information gathering /
crowdsourcing
. New governance and business models for open data
. Legal provisions and open issues at national and European level, regarding
re-use of governmental data
. International cooperation in the field of open and linked data
Excellent contributors should provide multi-disciplinary approaches,
possibly combining information science with social sciences, management,
finance, engineering or law, to allow uptake of open data by diverse
scientific domains, for modeling or solving complex societal problems.
Award Scheme:
Up to 5 authors of the best papers submitted under this call will be invited
to join the ENGAGE Experts Scientific Committee. Members of this committee
have a key role in providing their expertise in specific research areas, in
participating in the workshops that will be conducted during the project,
and in presenting their comments and feedback to the project deliverables.
Beside the prestige and the opportunity to shape the EU research agenda on
Open Data, each member of the Expert Scientific Committee will receive a sum
of 2,500 EUR to fund participation in the activities of the project.
Submission Guidelines:
All submissions must be between 2,000 and 3,000 words, following the LNCS
format:
http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/word.zip?S
GWID=0-0-45-72919-0
Submissions by more than one author are welcome; however only the
coordinating author (as indicated in the submission) of the selected paper
will be invited to join the ENGAGE Expert Scientific Committee.
Please submit your contribution via e-mail to contact at engage-project.eu
together with a short biography of 150 words for each of the authors. All
selected contributions will be published in the ENGAGE website after the
announcement of results.
Important Dates:
Deadline for submission of position papers: 15th March 2012

Call for Papers
Mini-track title: Business Intelligence for Organizational Performance Management
Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS)
Description:
The goal of business intelligence (BI) is to summarize massive amounts of disparate corporate and customer data into succinct information that can help management better understand their business processes, make informed decisions, and measure and improve organizational performance. BI can provide managers with the ability to integrate enterprise-wide data into metrics that link specific objectives to the performance of different business units. In today's economic downturn, accurate real-time BI metrics are even more critical for measuring and enhancing organizational performance. Many technologies contribute to BI solutions, including databases, data warehouses, data marts, analytic processing, and data mining, among others. BI needs to acquire data from multiple platforms and provide ubiquitous access. This requirement presents numerous managerial challenges. This mini-track aims to promote innovative research in the BI domains of organizational performance measurement an!
d improvement.
Suggested topics:
* Real-time business metrics for performance measurement
* Using BI to support the "balanced scorecard"
* Developing the warehouse to create "digital dashboards"
* Critical BI success factors for management control
* Analytical processing
* Techniques for summarizing data
* Assessing organizational performance using BI metrics
* Information extraction and report generation
* Real-time decision making
* Online analytical processing (modeling)
* Business performance management (BPM) and improvement
* Economic analysis of business intelligence
* Business intelligence strategies
* Business intelligence performance metrics
* Business intelligence implementation management
* BI governance, implementation, and management
Important Dates:
* March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions
* April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date
* April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due

Dear colleagues in AIS:
I have reported some complaints about the status of our IT discipline
regarding to the non-natural power bias concentrated in 6 journals and
about 50 top senior researchers, that with particular exceptions is not
clear their core contributions (besides to publish in such journals). I am
sure they exist but they should be considered with more value than the
publication in some journals. Thus, I consider positive to propose at
least some feasible actions as IT community:
#1 AIS website should have a section on [History of IT Contributions]
(example, the coining of the concept MIS (Professor Gordon Davis?, 1966,
1968?)
#2 AIS website should have a section on [Top IT Contributors] (where be
reported their core contribution(s). It can be grouped by eras: pre-MIS
era, MIS era (60s-70s), IT Networking era (80-90s), Internet era (2000 at
present). I am sure of most of the listed top seniors in rankings must
appear but now the Seniority level and acceptance by IT community (new
PhDs and older ones) should be by their real contributions for the
discipline. A paper does not matter but their content (and if it is really
worthy then it will be deployed).
#3 To establish a new ranking of journals (best 25 journals) where it be
conducted an updated and non biased survey, and where can be showed that
the statistical and practical difference between them really does not
exist (or using qualitative evaluations as finally papers are accepted in
any journal!). None outside of our discipline can believe that some
journals have impact factors over 4 and 5 points ! and other excellent
journals be ranked by it and other biased metrics as very distant.
Well, I hope these 3 emails can be useful for avoiding the real divorce
between the IT top research and PhD programs and IT reality, and that we
respect to our older IT researchers by their contributions (even it were
published in a not ranked journal!).
Sincerely,
Manuel Mora, EngD
PS. From 1984 at present I have taught very IT technical and
administrative IT courses for BSc and MSc programs. I believe I know this
discipline.

Shailendra,
You make a good point and this leads us back to the issue of journal
editors requesting/requiring citations from their journals in papers being
published. For that discussion I'll point you'all back to the CAIS discussion
in 2010 on this topic!....murray

Dear Manuel and all concerned MIS colleagues:
You have articulated some very good ideas for stimulating more thinking on
part of all MIS researchers regarding contributions of the MIS researchers
to the world of academia and practitioners.
For reasons cited by you, some top notch articles in journals other than
MISQ, JMIS, ISR are not cited enough to make an impact.
Ph.D. students and all researchers must be guided by journal editors to
refer to all relevant articles on a theme. One example should illustrate
this point. One Ph.D. researcher did a thesis focusing on IT Enabled Global
Sourcing of Services. His/her citations focused mostly on the top three
journals totally ignoring some very high quality publications in journals like
JITCAR, I & M, Decision Sciences, JGITM and so on.

Subject: Re: [AISWorld] IS Research Rankings Site Updated
Dear colleagues in IT discipline:
In other IT related disciplines (Computer Sciences, Artificial
Intelligence, Software Engineering, and actually Management Science / OR), the most
recognized academics are those that have introduced a core innovation
(construct, theory, model, or system) which is usually used during a long time (1
or several decades). Examples: Lofti Zadeh (fuzzy logic mechanisms), E-R
Model (Peter Chen), Core Competences (Gary Hamel and CK Prahalad), Soft
Systems (Peter Checkland), MIS concept (Gordon Davis), IT Development Stages
(Michael Gibson and Richard Nolan), EIS and CSFs (John Rockart), GDSS (Paul
Gray, George Huber), 5-force model (Michael Porter), BSC (David Norton and
Robert Kaplan), Ethernet protocol (Robert Metcalfe), among dozens of
contributions. It is very likely that they published few papers in top journals
but they contributions have shaped such disciplines (of course, your papers
are largely cited). On it, the research rankings, do really reveal the
critical contributions to advance our IT discipline or have we fostered an
academic bureaucratic context? People in other disciplines are surprised that
MIS Quarterly has an impact factor over 5.0 points, which is not natural in
other disciplines. MIS Quarterly can be #1 but in all surveys the people
usually ranks it by default! Are we really free academics or we have to
follow the modern research IT rules (not from the 70-80s according to my
estimation of type of research papers published in similar 6 journals). In
summary, how many core contributions published in the 6 suggested journals have
shaped in the last 10 years the IT discipline with critical research
discoveries or inventions? Interesting topics like virtualization, green IT, ITSM,
etc, while are investigated in IT discipline are not created (published the
like original initial ideas) in our journals! We are not so creative as
other Computing and Managerial disciplines are. Finally, how many patents are
linked to our IT discipline from our IT academic community? Do we need a
re-invention of our discipline? I believe does it, but IT leaders trained
with other approach are required. Thanks, Manuel Mora, EngD.
PS. I believe we have lost the historical memory of IT leaders that have
shaped our IT discipline, and that deserve a special ranking of IT
Academics. The IT research rankings measures other dimensions but not the overall
impact and contribution to our IT discipline.

*AMCIS 2012 Conference, Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012*
Minitrack: Spatial Business Intelligence, Decision Making, and Management
*Minitrack Co-Chairs:James B. Pick, Avijit Sarkar, and Hindupur Ramakrishna
(University of Redlands); Daniel Farkas (Pace University)*
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial technologies are growing
rapidly in business and government. Increasingly these applications
involve business intelligence (BI). Although there is considerable
research on GIS technology and geographic information science, there has
been relatively little research in spatial decision making in business and
organizations.
This track seeks manuscripts that address conceptual theory, methodology,
applications, and cases on these topics. The relevance to research is to
build up greater knowledge of the geo-spatial aspects of decision-making
and to develop theory and applications, sometimes building on well-known
concepts in the DSS field. The mini-track will address the evolving areas
of GIS, GIScience, and related technologies such as RFID, imagery, and
sensors, and expanding spatial information. Since this area is rapidly
growing in business, the mini-track can shed light on a new and evolving
field. The mini-track findings, results, and discussions will also inform
the managers, strategic thinkers, and policy makers in many organizations
that are building, deploying, and managing applications in these areas.
Potential topics:
- Spatial business intelligence
- Spatial decision support systems (SDSSs)
- Spatial knowledge management
- Management decision-making using GIS
- Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery
- Web-based GIS concepts and applications
- Mobile-based GIS concepts and applications
- Methodological papers
- Theoretical papers
- Case studies
- Collaborative spatial decision-based systems
- Studies of investment in and benefits of GIS, spatial BI, or SDSS
- Human, organizational, and management factors in spatial systems
- Quality measures and evaluation of spatial systems
- Systems and software development of GIS
- Public domain and open source GIS
- Crowdsourcing and public domain sources of spatial information
- Industry trends
- International aspects of GIS-based decision-making
- Ethical aspects of spatial decision-making
