Abstract
In light of the rapid pace of digital transformation and the subtle yet profound institutional shifts it entails, this panel aims to stimulate an action-oriented communitylevel dialogue that critically examines the trends and challenges in the scientific knowledge production system, as well as their possible implications for our collective identity as a community. In particular, we will focus on the evolving power dynamics among key stakeholders, including authors, reviewers, editors, universities, and publishers. We will also reflect on the espoused values and norms that should guide and shape the evolution of institutional logics and the future of scientific knowledge production. The discussion will explore alternative models such as Open Science and the Diamond Publishing Model to increase accessibility, decentralized peer review to promote equity, AI for multilingual science to foster inclusivity, and Slow Science to emphasize quality and creativity over quantity.

Transforming the IS Scientific Knowledge Production System: Breaking Bad or Making Good?
In light of the rapid pace of digital transformation and the subtle yet profound institutional shifts it entails, this panel aims to stimulate an action-oriented communitylevel dialogue that critically examines the trends and challenges in the scientific knowledge production system, as well as their possible implications for our collective identity as a community. In particular, we will focus on the evolving power dynamics among key stakeholders, including authors, reviewers, editors, universities, and publishers. We will also reflect on the espoused values and norms that should guide and shape the evolution of institutional logics and the future of scientific knowledge production. The discussion will explore alternative models such as Open Science and the Diamond Publishing Model to increase accessibility, decentralized peer review to promote equity, AI for multilingual science to foster inclusivity, and Slow Science to emphasize quality and creativity over quantity.
