[AISWorld] Information Systems Replication Project

[Dennis, Alan R.]

We invite you to be a part of history. AIS Transactions on Replication Research is partnering with MIS Quarterly to launch the Information Systems Replication Project. Our goal is to replicate 25 articles published in MISQ and other top IS journals. The project will produce an editorial in MISQ and individual papers in TRR.

There has been much discussion about a "replication crisis" in social sciences, in which a meaningful proportion of replications produce results that are different from the original study. Our experience at TRR from three years of publishing replication research has been opposite: a meaningful proportion of research replications have produced results that are essentially the same as the original study.

With your help, we will produce a comprehensive and newsworthy result that will address whether the "replication crisis" seen in other social sciences also applies to our discipline.
Our process is similar to that of replication projects in other disciplines.

*         Identification of interested authors and the paper they will replicate

*         Review and conditional acceptance of the paper without data

*         Data Collection

*         Review and acceptance of the final paper with data

We will have three cohorts in the review cycle (Jan 15, 2019; July 15, 2019; and March 15, 2020), but papers will be reviewed and accepted on an ongoing basis.

To join the project, please email Taylor Wells (taylor.wells at byu.edu) and tell us who is on your team and what paper you are planning to replicate.

Thanks
Alan Dennis, Sue Brown, and Taylor Wells
