[AISWorld] On top journals with low acceptance rate and value delivering to IT professional community

[Michael Myers]

Most medical research is not very useful either. For example, some estimates suggest that only about 10% of drug trials are successful. For more info, see:

But until you actually conduct some research, how can you find out?

Subject: [AISWorld] On top journals with low acceptance rate and value delivering to IT professional community

It is not expected that practitioners from any discipline were usual readers of scientific journals, but it should be ethically expected that scientific journals in any discipline produce knowledge that can be used - after adaptations or simplifications - in real interventions by practitioners, like medical research. Top MIS journals in the 70s and 80s achieved this mission but at present days, is it true? Multiple micro-problems are studied and selectively published (about 5% of acceptance) in top journals but I estimate the same percentage of 5% will be useful for practitioners in the next 5 years. Then, are we delivering value for the real population of interest in our discipline?
