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

[JOSE MANUEL MORA TAVAREZ]

Prof. Ioannadis is a top cited researcher (over 400,000 citations). This next paper has over 11,000 citations:

Ioannidis JP. Why most published research findings are false. PLoS Med. 2005; 2(8):e124. PMID: 16060722

There are interesting replies on this top paper clarifying the previous strong assertion at:

Stroebe, W. (2016). Are most published social psychological findings false?. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 66, 134-144.
"Ioannidis´ claim is valid only for one-shot studies without replication and with a low a priori probability that the tested hypothesis is true."


Lydersen, S., & Langaas, M. (2021). What proportion of published research findings are false?. Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening.
"Ioannidis produced a model which was based on a number of assumptions in various study designs. The assumptions may appear realistic, but it is a weakness that they to not build on data."


Diekmann, A. (2011). Are most published research findings false?. Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik, 231(5-6), 628-635.
"This short note sketches the argument and explores under what conditions the assertion holds. The “positive predictive value” (PPV) is lower than 1/2 if the a priori probability of the truth of a hypothesis is low. However, computation of the PPV includes only significant results. If both significant and non-significant results are taken into account the “total error ratio” (TER) will not exceed 1/2 provided no extremely large publication bias is present. "

but most interesting recommendation from Ioannadis (2016) on what is useful research:

"Many of the features that make clinical research useful can be identified, including those relating to problem base, context placement, information gain, pragmatism, patient centeredness, value for money, feasibility, and transparency" (Ioannadis, 2016; p.1).

>From a practitioner perspective, many medical practitioners consult medical research journals to search for insights and clues and it is impossible at present in IS top research.

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:

PLoS Med 13(6): e1002049. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002049<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1002049&data=05%7C01%7Cjose.mora%40edu.uaa.mx%7C9b9e6cc6409d4c28fa3408da48078d92%7Ce1e2e29221d64849b7104d47d9578ad0%7C0%7C0%7C637901494532715543%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8VaAPO%2BtyfAC%2F8wVQfsMw5zYSEQfM9TZnUY4hK7TG8Q%3D&reserved=0>



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

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?
