Abstract

This study measures the research productivity of IS researchers in South Korea. In this study, we select 11 leading IS journals, those are MIS Quarterly(MISQ). Information Systems Research(ISR), Journal of Management Information Systems(JMIS), Journal of the Association for Information Systems(JAIS), European Journal of Information Systems(EJIS), Information Systems Journal(ISJ), Decision Support Systems(DSS). Communications of the Association for Information Systems(CAIS), Information and Management(I&M), Journal of Strategy Information Systems(JSIS), and Journal of Information Technology(JIT). We analyzed the published articles of IS researchers in South Korea between 2007 and 2009 using scientometric techniques for measuring research productivity. The findings of this study provide evidences that IS research productivity has become a comprehensive information to business tool to assist advertizing of electing student of IS department and university, and take a person into IS professor in the IS job market. IS productivity research on Korean IS researcher rarely showed. The unique study showed valuable contributions for academicians to provide a better comprehension of publishing trend of leading IS journals.

본 연구는 국내 대학 및 소속을 두고 있는 한국 IS 연구자의 연구실적을 측정하였다. 본 연구자들은 선행연구에 기반해 MIS Quarterly(MISQ), Information Systems Research(ISR), Journal of Management Information Systems(JMlS), Journal of the Association for Information Systems(JAIS), European Journal of Information Systems(EJIS), Information Systems Journal(ISJ), Decision Support Systems(DSS), Communications of the Association for Information Systems(CAIS), Information and Management(I&M), Journal of Strategy Information Systems(JSlS), Journal of Information Technology(JIT) 11 개 선도 저널을 선정하였고, 2007년부터 2009년까지 출판된 한국 IS 연구자의 논문을 싸이언토메트릭 기법을 통해 측정하였다. 본 연구결과는 한국 IS 연구자의 우수한 연구실적에 대한 정보를 제공함으로써 우수 연구자의 파악 및 채용 정보 획득에 도움을 줄 것이고, 더불어 신입생 유치에 있어 학교와 학과의 우수성을 홍보하는데 자료를 제공해 줄 것이다. 본 연구는 한국 IS 연구자의 연구실적 측정에 대한 연구가 드믄 실정에서 연구의 독창성이 존재하며, 한국 IS 연구자의 논문 출판 추세를 이해하는데 도움을 제공할 것이다.
