text: Understanding a new literature corpus can be a grueling experience for junior
scholars. Nevertheless, corresponding guidelines have not been updated for decades.
We contend that the traditional strategy of skimming all papers and reading selected
papers afterwards needs to be revised. Therefore, we design a new strategy that
guides the overall exploratory process by prioritizing influential papers for
initial reading, followed by skimming the remaining papers. Consistent with schemata
theory, starting with in-depth reading allows readers to acquire more substantial
prior content schemata, which are representa-tive for the literature corpus and
useful in the following skimming process. To this end, we develop a prototype
that identifies the influential papers from a set of PDFs, which is illustrated
in a case study in the IT business value domain. With the new strategy, we envision
a more efficient process of exploring unknown literature corpora.

text: 'Literature reviews (LRs) are recognized for their increasing impact in the
information systems literature. Methodologists have drawn attention to the question
of how we can leverage the value of LRs to preserve and generate knowledge. The
panelists who participated in the discussion of ?Standalone Literature Reviews
in IS Research: What Can Be Learnt from the Past and Other Fields?? at ICIS 2016
in Dublin acknowledged this significant issue and debated a) what the IS field
can learn from other fields and where IS-specific challenges occur, b) how the
IS field should move forward to foster the genre of LRs, and c) what best practices
are to train doctoral IS students in publishing LRs. This article reports the
key takeaways of this panel discussion. Guidance for IS scholars is provided on
how to conduct LRs that contribute to the cumulative knowledge development within
and across the IS field to best prepare the next generation of IS scholars.'
