Information Systems No. 1 for Publications in Premier Journals
Viswanath Venkatesh, University of Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Faculty in the department of information systems in the Sam M. Walton College of Business had the most publications in the two premier research journals in their field in 2013. The two journals are MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research.
The department was not only number one in 2013, but also ranked in the top five, based on an adjusted count (publication frequency adjusted for number of authors) in the two journals over the past three years and past five years (2011-2013, 2009-2013). The U of A ranked higher than other top business schools, such as the University of Texas at Austin and New York University.
Viswanath Venkatesh, Distinguished Professor and holder of the George & Boyce Billingsley Endowed Chair in Information Systems, ranked first in publications in the two journals for all three time periods. Venkatesh had papers in all four issues of MIS Quarterly in 2013, a first at the journal. Two other researchers who made all three lists are Walton College alumni: Hillol Bala (2008) and Tracy Sykes (2009). Sykes is now an assistant professor in the department.
