The rankings service is globally reputable indicator tracking publications in eight leading IS journals in the AIS Senior Scholars’ basket of journals, a defined basket of high-ranking journals in the field of business information systems and digitisation.
The latest results showed that the HKBU School of Business is placed 50th in the world in the “AIS basket of 8”, and 10th in Asia Pacific, a tie with Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and National Chengchi University (NCU) of Taiwan, when considering the four flagship IS journals, namely Management Information Systems Quarterly (MISQ), Information Systems Research (ISR), Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS), Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS).
“Thanks to the outstanding work of our IS researchers, this achievement is especially encouraging considering the relatively small MIS community at HKBU,” said Prof. Ed Snape, Dean of the HKBU School of Business, “Looking forward, we will continue our commitment to research excellence and seek to build on this success.”
The rankings service database includes data for the years 1990-2021 at present. In addition to MISQ, ISR, JAIS and JMIS, the other four journals of the “AIS basket of 8” are European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS), Information Systems Journal (ISJ), The Journal of Strategic Information Systems (JSIS), and Journal of Information Technology (JIT).
