Dear Rick,<br><br>
So far, I know of three websites that seem to touch the general kind of thing you're talking about, though not (presently) for IS research in general:<br><br>
* AcaWiki (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://acawiki.org">http://acawiki.org</a>): Tries to compile summaries of all kinds of academic papers; IS research papers would fit nicely in here.
<br>
* WikiPapers (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wikipapers.referata.com">http://wikipapers.referata.com</a>): Collects data about papers specifically focused on research concerning wikis.<br>
* WikiLit (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wikilit.referata.com">http://wikilit.referata.com</a>): My research team's website to support our literature review of academic research on Wikipedia. (With over 900 researchers of Wikipedia listed, you
can see that not all academics snub Wikipedia! <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wikilit.referata.com/wiki/Category:Researchers">
http://wikilit.referata.com/wiki/Category:Researchers</a>)<br><br>
Here are two papers that could serve as helpful reading:<br><br>
* A workshop description at WikiSym 2011 that discussed the very challenges you seem to be raising, though only about wiki research:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2038612">
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2038612</a><br>
* A working paper that my research team posted just yesterday: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2021326">
http://ssrn.com/abstract=2021326</a>. You would probably be most interested in the section titled "WikiLit: A Semantic MediaWiki of Wikipedia Research"; this describes in detail my team's current efforts in this general direction--though focusing only on Wikipedia
research.<br><br>
In addition to the AISWorld list (and I hope others might also contribute to this discussion), there are two other researcher lists that I think would be very interested in discussing these ideas you've raised:<br><br>
* This kind of request has been discussed on the wiki-research-l, a research list for wiki and Wikipedia researchers. The lively group of 400+ subscribers would gladly discuss this topic. You can subscribe and search archives at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l">
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l</a>.<br><br>
* I think perhaps a good possibility for setting up an IS research wiki would be as a subarea of the AcaWiki site. At present, it's not so active, but from my past interactions with that community, they would be quite supportive of a large research community
such as IS researchers using their platform to build a collection of disciplinary paper reviews. You can subscribe and search archives at

As research and information is exploding, a.k.a. "big data" conducting a thorough literature review is becoming a daunting, time-consuming task. While many in academia have snubbed open sourced information sources such as Wikipedia, I believe it would be extremely
useful for AIS, another organization or dare I suggest even an open sourced group to develop a wiki site for sharing literature searches.
<br><br>
In conducting a literature review I feel I am often re-creating the wheel. The authors of articles by sited in research have conducted literature reviews, so future research is duplicating their efforts. A site dedicated to IS research would be one way to begin
dealing with the increased burden of information overload. A new model for research publication and sharing needs to be created.
<br><br>
Should not we in information technologies be leading the way? <br><br>
I would appreciate your thoughts! <br><br>
