Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2019 edition, 7.87% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.68% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 9.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.41% of all publications and 59.15% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Intersection of Business Education and Information Systems

A thorough understanding of topics such as knowledge management, artificial intelligence, and the World Wide Web is essential in a variety of sectors, particularly in the field of business. With the digitization of enterprises, business education in the current era encompasses more than traditional disciplines like finance, marketing, and operations. It critically includes the study of enterprise information systems. Many top business schools now include curricula that dive deep into the exploration and application of enterprise information systems, preparing future business leaders to effectively manage and utilize technology within their organizations. Notably, the top 5 business schools in South Dakota offer comprehensive programs in this area, distinguishing themselves with a sharp focus on the intersection of business and IT. These programs equip students with the necessary tools to analyze and make strategic decisions using enterprise software, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary skills. Moreover, the learnings from the International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems can be directly applied to these academic programs, enriching course content and teaching methodologies. As we continue to navigate ourselves in an increasingly interconnected and digital world, it becomes vital for academia and industry to share insights. This fusion of ideas often leads to transformative business solutions to complex problems and ultimately paves the way for innovative advancements in the field of enterprise information systems.
