The College of Senior Scholars encourages colleagues, as well as deans and department chairs, to treat a list of premier journals as the top journals in our field. Such a list is intended to provide more consistency and meaningfulness to tenure and promotion cases.

The journal list is limited to those in the "IS field," and omits both multidisciplinary outlets and specialty areas. Nevertheless, the list recognizes topical, methodological, and geographical diversity. In addition, the review processes are stringent, editorial board members are widely-respected and recognized, and there is international readership and contribution.

The journals in the list are, in alphabetical order:

Decision Support Systems

European Journal of Information Systems

Information & Management

Information and Organization

Information Systems Journal

Information Systems Research

Journal of the AIS

Journal of Information Technology

Journal of MIS

Journal of Strategic Information Systems
