Research patterns could enhance understanding of the Information Systems (IS) field. Citation analysis is the methodology commonly used to determine such research patterns. In this study, the citation methodology is applied to one of the topβranked Information Systems conferencesβInternational Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). Information is extracted from papers in the proceedings of ICIS 2000 to 2002. A total of 145 base articles and 4,226 citations are used. Research patterns are obtained using total citations, citations per journal or conference, and overlapping citations. We then provide the citation ranking of journals and conferences. We also examine the difference between the citation ranking in this study and the ranking of IS journals and IS conferences in other studies. Based on the comparison, we confirm that IS research is a multidisciplinary research area. We also identify the most cited papers and authors in the IS research area, and the organizations most active in producing papers in the topβrated IS conference. We discuss the findings and implications of the study.

We investigate the problem of fusing collections of documents provided by multiple information retrieval systems. A parameterized approach is suggested in which a parameter determines how the documents in the individual collections are interleaved to form a fused list of documents. We then suggest a
