Digitised knowledge-based literature reviewing: a tutorial on coding causal and process models as graphs Open
Current literature reviewing approaches rely on using keywords to search for relevant articles, reading them, and manually synthesising their knowledge. This approach is inefficient and limits the pace of scientific progress. We have devel…

Extending the Foresight of Phillip Ein-Dor: Causal Knowledge Analytics Open
Phillip Ein-Dor advocated that electronic journals be more than a PDF of the established text model. He envisioned a transformation of scholarship. The need for such a transition has only grown since the first issue of JAIS in 2000 because…

Introduction to the Research Handbook on Information Systems and the Environment Open
Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Despite its drastic global effects, the world has been slow to acknowledge the problem and act. Although information systems (IS) academics are among the many laggards, a group of IS schola…

Does (customer data) size matter? Generating valuable customer insights with less customer relationship risk Open
Customer surveillance is a pervasive marketing practice that involves the collection, usage, and storage of customers' data from transactions, loyalty programs, and social media. Customer data are valuable to firms in gaining or maintainin…

Exit Time Differences Between Gated and Open Operator Compartments in Stand-Up End-Controlled Lift Trucks With an Examination of Injury Potential in Tip-Over and Off-Dock Incidents Open
Stand-up end-controlled forklifts typically have two different mechanisms for injury to the operator; injury to a limb extended outside the operator compartment or injury incurred in off-dock and tip-over type accidents. Lift truck operato…

Dispersal and Space Use of Captive-Reared and Wild-Rehabilitated Harpy Eagles Released in Central American Landscapes: Implications for Reintroduction and Reinforcement Management Open
Understanding the spatial context of animal movements is fundamental for the establishment and management of protected areas. We tracked, by telemetry devices, 31 captive-reared and 5 wild-rehabilitated Harpia harpyja and estimated the dis…

Practicing What We Preach? Reflections on More Sustainable and Responsible IS Research and Teaching Practices Open
Research on IS solutions for environmental sustainability has evolved into a modest, but a firm body of knowledge. Despite this progressive understanding of the potential of IS in enabling environmental sustainability, our academic practic…

Commentary: the Past, Present, and Future of the Global Raptor Impact Network Open
Most raptor populations are declining and nearly a fifth are threatened with extinction; thus there is a need to increase collaboration to ensure efficient and effective research, management, and conservation. Here, we introduce the Global…

Humans rely more on algorithms than social influence as a task becomes more difficult Open
Algorithms have begun to encroach on tasks traditionally reserved for human judgment and are increasingly capable of performing well in novel, difficult tasks. At the same time, social influence, through social media, online reviews, or pe…

Analysing the past to prepare for the future: Writing a literature review a roadmap for release 2.0 Open
This roadmap identifies two developments for improving the process of literature reviewing. First, a method for systematically digitally encoding papers’ core knowledge contributions in the form of a graph is proposed. Second, the creativi…
