摘要

What is the secret to a successful career in academia? Is that secret different for a woman than it is for a man?rnThis study focuses on whether male and female academics have distinctive patterns of representation as authorsrnin top management information systems journals. Archival data, consisting of author information, articlerninformation, and editorial board gender composition, was collected for two journals, MIS Quarterly andrnJournal of Management Information Systems. Consistent with previous research findings, preliminary resultsrnsuggest that females represent a disproportionately small minority of authors in both of these two top MISrnjournals.
