Theme: Meta-analysis applications in information systems domains
Short Title SI: Meta-analysis in IS

Scope:

As the information systems (IS) discipline continues to mature and subsume various domains of research, opportunities to examine prior research, synthesize findings, resolve inconsistencies, identify gaps in knowledge, and determine directions for future research assume greater importance. These can be handled using meta-analysis, a family of methods which enables the aggregation and analysis of prior empirical findings (Glass et al. 1981; Hedges and Olkin 1985; Hunter and Schmidt 1990; Rosenthal 1991; Lipsey and Wilson 2001; Borenstein et al. 2009). Despite general criticisms such as “apples and oranges” and “garbage in, garbage out,” meta-analysis has received considerable attention in IS research over the last few decades (Jeyaraj and Dwivedi 2020).

This special issue provides the opportunity for researchers to publish meta-analysis research in information systems and related domains. Prior IS literature offers guidance on various aspects of conducting meta-analysis (Hwang 1996; King and He 2005; Wu et al. 2018; Jeyaraj and Dwivedi 2020). All types of meta-analysis studies (i.e., both exploratory and confirmatory meta-analysis studies using reported effect sizes or derived metrics) as described in Jeyaraj and Dwivedi (2020) are encouraged. Papers that offer advances in meta-analysis methods, refinements of prior meta-analysis research, or fresh perspectives of meta-analysis research are also welcome.
