my only comment on media coverage is that it can be biased by a good PR
person at the university, by that I mean that a good PR person can push out
media releases and such that will get a person interviewed. As an example
we have a good a PR person and I typically do a couple of interviews a month
on my research or on topics of interest. A little side note is that I did
over 100 interviews during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, none tied to my
research but all based on my knowledge. I don't count that. On the other
hand a student and I did a paper on how to identify victims of human sex
trafficking using online advertising and have been interview a few times on
it, this would count but I'm not sure it reflects influence but rather an
interest in the topic. This is very true for IS security researchers, we
have the most interesting research for media coverage....murray jennex

Dear Dennis, Bill & Manual,
I agree with Dennis that media coverage is a testimony that the
work/research has permeated to the common masses, hence it is probably
valuable to society.
Manual, I hear what you say however engineering and computer science are
very well established disciplines. When we started the discourse on Design
Science Research, we wanted to make sure that we as IS community can
distinguish what we do from pure CS or Engineering. After all the nexus of
DSR comes from Herb Simon's seminal work, emphasizing design. It is obvious
that certain engineering theory or hard core technical CS work will not be
referenced in DSR specially in the IS context. We as a community should
promote problem solving but the source of our problems comes from the
intersection of technology, people and organization. That's what
distinguishes us. In fact I strongly suggest all senior editors in IS to
ask for "what problem did you solve?" in their journal submissions. This
can strengthen our field and showing evidence of value becomes easier. DSR
is meant to do that as a research method.
Bill, you have a point. I have asked for papers since we know that journal
and conference articles are peer reviewed. But you can also propose a book
that you think has had influence. There are many other artifacts that have
influence but without "peer" review it is difficult to weed out which is
good and which is not. For example, someone may write a blog or a newspaper
column that actually may be read by more IS folks than some journal papers.
But one could argue that this is his/her opinion. We live and work in a
system of "peer review". So as long as your work or artifact has been
evaluated by others, please go ahead and submit your nomination.
Sincerely
Samir
