Description
Summary:An analysis of 118,364 references from 3752 articles published in top IS journals during the 10 years from 1986 to 1995 is presented. Ninety-one ‘citation classics’ were identified by combining the results of this analysis with previous findings. Within this group of 91 publications, 13 ‘super classic’ publications were identified.
