Abstract
The Information Systems Journal (ISJ) published its first issue in 1991 and in 2015 the journal celebrated its 25th anniversary. This study presents an overview of the leading research trends in the papers that the journal has published during its first quarter of a century via a bibliometric and ontological analysis. From a bibliometric perspective, the analysis considers the publication and citation structure of the journal. The study then develops a graphical analysis of the bibliographic material by using visualisation of similarities software that employs bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis. The work produces an ontological framework of impact and analyses the journal papers to assess qualitatively ISJ’s impact. The results indicate that the journal has grown significantly over time and is now recognised as one of the leading journals in information systems. Yet, challenges remain if the journal is to meet its aims in impacting and setting the agenda for the development of the Information Systems field.
