对《美国信息科学与技术学会期刊》以及 2009 年期刊引文报告科学版信息系统类别中列出的其他 76 种期刊的特征进行了分析。除了报告常见的书目指标外，我们还调查了任何同行评审期刊的人力基石：其编辑委员会。收集了在信息系统 (IS) 编辑委员会任职的 2,846 名看门人的人口统计数据。我们讨论由描述性统计支持的各种科学计量指标。我们的研究结果反映了 IS 期刊在研究成果、作者社区、编辑委员会和看门人人口统计（例如性别和地点的多样性）、资历、权威和编辑委员会参与程度方面的多样性。我们相信，这些结果可能有助于公众和学者（例如读者、作者、期刊看门人、政策制定者）修改和增加他们对信息系统领域学术传播的了解。支持这项科学计量研究的 EB_IS_2009 数据集作为本文的在线补充材料发布，以促进编辑委员会的进一步研究。
Characteristics of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology and 76 other journals listed in the Information Systems category of the Journal Citation ReportsScience edition 2009 were analyzed. Besides reporting usual bibliographic indicators, we investigated the human cornerstone of any peer-reviewed journal: its editorial board. Demographic data about the 2,846 gatekeepers serving in information systems (IS) editorial boards were collected. We discuss various scientometric indicators supported by descriptive statistics. Our findings reflect the great variety of IS journals in terms of research output, author communities, editorial boards, and gatekeeper demographics (e.g., diversity in gender and location), seniority, authority, and degree of involvement in editorial boards. We believe that these results may help the general public and scholars (e.g., readers, authors, journal gatekeepers, policy makers) to revise and increase their knowledge of scholarly communication in the IS field. The EB_IS_2009 dataset supporting this scientometric study is released as online supplementary material to this article to foster further research on editorial boards.
