“…In line with Recker (2013) and Chu and Ke (2017), this analysis shows a similar relative trend for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. The depicted analysis is both congruent with our findings in Tables 3 and 4 and with the idea of Basden (2010), that IS is influenced by a variety of different disciplines. While Fig.…”

“…We discovered strong scientific collaborations between IS scholars and scholars from Management Science, Industry research, and Computer Science. The finding shows a congruency with the ideas of Basden (2010) that IS research tends to have more collaborations with departments from business schools and management science, rather than departments from its other neighboring discipline, Computer Science. Noticeable in our analysis in the context of ML is the high participation of companies.…”

“…ML in research have been made by Krauss et al (2017) in the neighboring discipline of finance. The stagnation in applied ML research may be a problem that is originated in the reliance of IS research on standard quantitative methods, which is strongly influenced by organizational studies (Basden 2010). Based on the assumption that the disciplines influence each other, we argue that additional information about the collaborations and affiliations of researchers to different research areas within our sample would facilitate understanding.…”

“…2 as well as Table 3 show a rise in the use of ML methods, these publications seem to be mostly accepted in conference proceedings or 2ndtier journals, such as DSS and EM, but not in journals from the senior scholars' basket of journals, such as JIS, ISR or MISQ. Although the philosophical notion of "spheres of meaning" take on our discipline by Basden (2010) is certainly disputable, it may explain why cutting-edge IS research falls behind in the application of more recent and probably more advanced analytical and data-driven methods.…”

Machine learning in information systems - a bibliographic review and open research issues

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are currently hot topics in industry and business practice, while management-oriented research disciplines seem reluctant to adopt these sophisticated data analytics methods as research instruments. Even the Information Systems (IS) discipline with its close connections to Computer Science seems to be conservative when conducting empirical research endeavors. To assess the magnitude of the problem and to understand its causes, we conducted a bibliographic review on publications in high-level IS journals. We reviewed 1,838 articles that matched corresponding keyword-queries in journals from the AIS senior scholar basket, Electronic Markets and Decision Support Systems (Ranked B). In addition, we conducted a survey among IS researchers (N = 110). Based on the findings from our sample we evaluate different potential causes that could explain why ML methods are rather underrepresented in top-tier journals and discuss how the IS discipline could successfully incorporate ML methods in research undertakings.

“…By applying Dooyeweerd's suite of aspects, we are able to provide a rich picture of Human Activity Systems (Mirijamdotter & Bergvall‐Kåreborn, ). Basden uses Dooyeweerd's aspects and views disciplines in terms of what is meaningful to those who work within them (Basden, ). The suite of aspects helps us to discover what is denoted as ‘meaningful’ in the eye of researchers who are moving this field of study forward.…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to identify and analyse the US Health Sector concept of the ‘Meaningful Use’ of electronic health records (EHR's) based on the wide diversity of discourses in the published literature. Meaningful Use is defined as ‘use of digital medical and health records to improve quality, safety and efficiency of patient health information’. Methods Herman Dooyeweerd's philosophical suite of aspects was the chosen research tool used to analyse seminal papers concerning the Meaningful Use of EHRs. The methodology included the identification of the criteria for choosing the papers: application of the criteria to the literature and then selection of the papers and finally the application of Dooyeweerd's aspects to the papers in order to analyse and classify the motivations of the authors. Results As a result of the aspectual analysis of the relevant texts in the seminal papers, two aspects were identified, one as primary and another one as secondary. In addition, the analytic aspect was repeated twice as the primary aspect. Although there were a number of papers distinctively centred on different aspects, overlaps and similarities were also clearly identified. Discussion Dooyeweerd's philosophy is useful in helping to affirm the factors that are important to the authors of the seminal papers and the philosophy helps us to accommodate this diversity in a unique way, therefore enhancing our understanding of approaches in the area. Conclusion By employing the lens of Dooyeweerd's aspects, the study enhances the understanding of diversity in one discipline and could potentially provide a new system for the classification of diversity within other related disciplines.

Background: Cognitive Muscular TherapyTM (CMT) is an integrated behavioural intervention developed for knee osteoarthritis. CMT teaches patients to reconceptualise the condition, integrates muscle biofeedback and aims to reduce muscle overactivity, both in response to pain and during daily activities. This nested qualitative study explored patient and physiotherapist perspectives and experiences of CMT.Methods: Five physiotherapists were trained to follow a well-defined protocol and then delivered CMT to at least two patients with knee osteoarthritis. Each patient received seven individual clinical sessions and was provided with access to online learning materials incorporating animated videos. Semi-structured interviews took place after delivery/completion of the intervention and data were analysed at the patient and physiotherapist level.Results: Five physiotherapists and five patients were interviewed. All described a process of changing beliefs throughout their engagement with CMT. A framework with three phases was developed to organise the data according to how osteoarthritis was conceptualised and how this changed throughout their interactions with CMT. Firstly, was an identification of pain beliefs to be challenged and recognition of how current beliefs can misalign with daily experiences. Secondly was a process of challenging and changing beliefs, validated through new experiences. Finally, there was an embedding of changed beliefs into self-management to continue with activities. Conclusion:This study identified a range of psychological changes which occur during exposure to CMT. These changes enabled patients to reconceptualise their condition, develop a new understanding of their body, understand psychological processes, and make sense of their knee pain.
