  text: Review papers are essential for knowledge development in IS. While some are
    cited twice a day, others accumulate single digit citations over a decade. 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.
