Description
Increasingly scholars are called to engage in high-impact research projects, which are research efforts that contribute academic knowledge and provide benefits beyond academia, such as positive outcomes for organizations or society. Within the information systems discipline, journals are supporting high-impact research through special issues or recognition of high-impact research. The Association for Information Systems offers an annual AIS Impact Award for scholars with exceptional, high-impact research contributions. However, how should we define high-impact research? How do we measure, evaluate, and reward high-impact research? How do we ensure that organizations and societies benefit more than they are harmed through the research effort? These issues, among others, will be discussed during this panel. Audience participants will engage with the panelists through a range of methods, including electronic polling, audience questions, and a fish-bowl discussion to identify how we can make an impact with information systems research.
