- W25825712 abstract "There are many advantages in understanding the nature of a discipline and how progresshas been achieved in its development. Although it has been recognised since the 1970sthat disciplinary development is a social process, there is a dearth of empirical studiesabout the development of the IS discipline set within such a context. Instead, studies ofthe development of the IS discipline treated it as historically and sociologicallyisolated (Whitley 1984) and generally referred to theoretical or methodological issues.This broad ranging empirical study examined mainstream Information Systems (IS)research in Australian universities between 1980 and 1996 and compared it againstthree models developed to predict its evolution. The investigation had three goals, thefirst of which was to investigate the demography of Australian IS researchers byexamining their numbers and research education between 1980 and 1996. The secondgoal was to characterise Australian academic IS researcher output during theinvestigation period. Multiple facets of the phenomenon were examined for thecharacterisation, including the scope, epistemology, research methods and quality of theresearch published over the period. The results of the first two goals were used toachieve the third goal, which was to determine the degree of diversity displayed inAustralian IS academic research between 1980 and 1996. The third goal tested anassumption in the literature of increasing diversity in IS research (Benbasat & Weber1996).Another objective of the study that was undertaken in parallel with the achievement ofthe three goals was to investigate the contribution of some social mechanisms andprocesses to the development of the IS discipline in a region. In order to be able to doso, the role of IS-specific research education, journals and conferences, scientificcommunities and researcher collaboration was examined.The methods used in the study included email surveys of201 Australian IS researchersand a literature analysis of 336 Australian refereed papers from ten leading publicationoutlets.Although other factors had impacted on its development, the pattern of change of theresearch higher education of the researchers was found to be a major influence on thenature and development of Australian IS research for the period. It was concluded thatthe development of IS research higher degree programmes contributed to the establishment of Australian IS mainstream research traditions and invisible colleges,which appeared from around 1993.Despite an expectation of increased diversity in Australian IS research some convincingindications of convergence were found, signs that are likely to be associated with apositive development of the Australian IS research discipline and its traditions." @default.
