[AISWorld] IS one discipline two fields?

[Sebastian Boell]

Hi,

The latest issue of Scientometrics contained an analysis of publications in the AIS basket of 8 journals. What I found particluarly striking in this paper was the co-author analysis showing two highly connected yet distinct clusters of co-author networks in IS (see attached image). The full reference to the paper is:

Zhai, L., Li, X., Yan, X. and Fan, W. (2014) “Evolutionary Analysis of Collaboration Networks in the Field of Information Systems,” Scientometrics, 101, 1657–1677.

Kind Regards
Sebastian
