IS Research Rankings Web Site Update: May 2010

Launched in October 2009, the web site, http://www.vvenkatesh.com/ISranking, that allows searching for rankings by university and author based on any combination of the AIS Senior Scholars' basket of journals, i.e., EJIS, ISJ, ISR, JAIS, JIT, JMIS, JSIS and MISQ. Recent updates include new methods of ranking, addition of data from 1996 to 1998 and improved printing. Please take ONE minute to fill out a survey that will provide information about how you (or your dept, school, univ) are using the site and help in securing ongoing resources for site maintenance. The survey is at: http://www.vvenkatesh.com/ISranking/survey.asp.

In August 2009, Science Watch (a Thompson Reuters’ service) named the technology acceptance model one of the four Research Front Maps in business and economics, with Venkatesh et al. (2003, MISQ) being the most influential paper (a PDF file version is also available). An audio interview of Dr. Venkatesh is posted on Science Watch.

A number of Dr. Venkatesh's papers are among the most cited papers published in various journals: Venkatesh and Davis (1996) is ranked 2nd of all papers published in Decision Sciences "Top 100 Cited Decision Sciences Articles"; Venkatesh (2000) is the 2nd most cited paper published in Information Systems Research; Venkatesh et al. (2003) is the 2nd most cited paper published in MIS Quarterly; and Venkatesh and Davis (2000) is the 6th most cited paper published in Management Science.

Named to Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, America, and/or Science and Technology since 2007.

ISI Essential Science Indicators recognized “A Theoretical…” published in Management Science as the paper with the highest percent increase in total citations for the period of Aug-Oct 2003. My interview is available online: http://www.incites.com/scientists/ViswanathVenkatesh.html

Where have I been lately?

December 2009: I attended ICIS in Phoenix and was a panelist at the SIGADIT workshop. After ICIS, I spent a day at Dr. Arun Rai's (and Dr. Elena Karahanna's) castle in Atlanta. I spent the break in my favorite US city down in South Florida.

November 2009: I visited the University of Arizona and presented my collaborative research, with Tracy Sykes, on the digital divide. I also enjoyed spending a few days with my friend and collaborator, Dr. Sue Brown.

October 2009: I visited Hong Kong Polytechnic University to conduct collaborative research. While there, I also presented my work with Xiaojun Zhang on online and offline networks. I then traveled to San Diego to attend Information Systems Research Senior Editors’ meeting.

September 2009: I visited the University of Texas at Dallas and presented my collaborative research, with Tracy Sykes, on the digital divide. I also traveled to Boston College to an Information Systems Research special issue workshop on the role of IT in healthcare, and presented a paper on an e-healthcare system implementation (coauthored with Tracy Sykes and Xiaojun Zhang).

August 2009: After enjoying some much needed down-time in my home away from home at Ft. Lauderdale, I was in San Francisco during AMCIS. Later in the month, I was in St. John, Canada to be a keynote speaker at the World Congress on Privacy, Security, Trust and the Management of E-business—I had never before been in the Atlantic timezone…
