The magnitude of these differences prompts us to analyze what distinguishes those reviews that have proven to be integral to scientific progress from those that might be considered less impactful. Our results highlight differences between reviews aimed at describing, understanding, explaining, and theory testing. Beyond the control variables, they demonstrate the importance of methodological transparency and the development of research agendas. These insights inform all stakeholders involved in the development and publication of review papers.}}, author = {{Wagner, Gerit and Prester, Julian and Roche, Maria and Schryen, Guido and Benlian, Alexander and Paré, Guy and Templier, Mathieu}}, journal = {{Information & Management}}, keywords = {{Literature review, review papers, scientometric, scientific impact, citation analysis}}, number = {{3}}, title = {{{Which Factors Affect the Scientific Impact of Review Papers in IS Research?

Accounting for the widely acknowledged limitations of pure citation analysis, we adopt a knowledge-based perspective on scientific impact to develop a methodology for content-based citation analysis which allows determining how papers have enabled knowledge development in subsequent research (knowledge impact). As knowledge development differs between research genres, we develop a new knowledgebased citation analysis methodology for the genre of standalone literature reviews (LRs). We apply the suggested methodology to the IS business value domain by manually coding 22 LRs and 1,228 citing papers (CPs) and show that the results challenge the assumption that citations indicate knowledge impact. We derive implications for distinguishing knowledge impact from citation impact in the LR genre. Finally, we develop recommendations for authors of LRs, scientific evaluation committees and editorial boards of journals how to apply and benefit from the suggested methodology, and we discuss its efficiency and automatization.}}, author = {{Schryen, Guido and Wagner, Gerit and Benlian, Alexander}}, keywords = {{Scientific impact, knowledge impact, content-based citation analysis, methodology}}, title = {{{Distinguishing Knowledge Impact from Citation Impact: A Methodology for Analysing Knowledge Impact for the Literature Review Genre}}}, year = {{2020}}, }
