Forty Years of Management Information Systems From the Window of MIS Quarterly

Abstract

In the globalizing and digital transformation corporate ecosystem, the management information systems discipline maintains its key place. 104 journals in the area of management information systems will continue to be published in 2021, according to SCImago Journal and Country Rank statistics. MIS Quarterly is one of the most prominent field journals in the field, with a publishing history spanning more than four decades and having the highest ranking in the SCImago. The study aims to present the forty-year portfolio of the related literature with scientometrics and bibliometrics from the perspective of MIS Quarterly. By presenting the findings of the analyzes carried out in many areas such as content, institution, country, researcher, and citation of 1,550 publications between 1980 and 2020, this research offers concrete inferences about how management information systems have evolved from past to present in a period of forty years, and discusses the change that the field has undergone, together with the dynamics of the related periods.

MIS Quarterly Penceresi̇nden Yöneti̇m Bi̇li̇şi̇m Si̇stemleri̇ni̇n Kırk Yılı

Abstract

Yönetim bilişim sistemleri disiplini, küreselleşen ve dijital dönüşümün içinde bulunan işletme ekosisteminde kritik konumunu korumaktadır. Scimago Jorunal and Country Rank sitesine göre yönetim bilişim sistemleri alanında 2021 yılında yayın faaliyetini sürdürmekte olan 104 dergi bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan SCImago Journal Rank Indicator değeri en yüksek olan dergi ise MIS Quarterly’dir. Kırk yılı aşkın yayın hayatını sürdüren MIS Quarterly, yönetim bilişim sistemleri için en önemli alan dergileri arasındadır. Çalışma, MIS Quarterly dergisi gözüyle, ilgili yazının kırk yıllık portföyünü bilimetri ve bibliyometri metodolojileriyle ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, 1980-2020 yılı arasında gerçekleştirilen 1.550 yayının, içerik, kurum, ülke, araştırmacı, atıf gibi pek çok boyutta değerlendirilmesi sonucunda elde edilen bulguları sunarak, ele alınan kırk yıllık bir periyotta yönetim bilişim sistemlerinin geçmişten bugüne nasıl evrildiği konusunda somut çıkarımlar yapmakta ve alanın geçirdiği değişimi ilgili dönemlerin dinamikleriyle birlikte tartışmaktadır.
