Collaboration and Academic Publishing: A Study of the Performance and Diversity of Contributing Author Disciplines

By Carmine Sellitto.

Published by The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change Management

The paper reported research that identified the originating disciplines of scholars that contributed to academic articles associated with the information systems (IS) domain. The research was based on reliable university-derived data that allowed the examination of 1449 information systems related articles that were published in 649 different journals. The study further mapped articles to a sub-set of highly regarded journals to determine the performance of Australian academics in the IS-area. Across a total of 344 authors involved with the 140 articles, 25 different author-disciplines were identified— highlighting the diverse backgrounds of contributing authors and the potential for individual papers to draw on a range of foundations to facilitate a form of knowledge synergy. The study was able to identify that cross-discipline knowledge collaboration was symptomatic of research that was associated with articles more likely to be published in high quality journals.
