Assessing Research Productivity of Academic MIS Departments

Abstract

This study ranks academic information systems (IS) departments according to the publishing record of their faculty members. The rankings art presented in two forms: by a per capita ranking and by a ranking in which the frequency of publication is multiplied by prestige weights for each journal. The rankings are presented in cumulative form for the 1985-92 period and are also broken down on an annual basis to track trends and changes in academic production. Recommendations are made for future research and implications are drawn for the application of the technique development here for the evaluation of the research production of DoD laboratories and schools. Departmental ranking, Prestige weighting factor, Per capita weighting factor, Per capita weighting factor, Objective measure of quality, Research productivity.
