Management information systems are a comprehensive discipline. Over the years there have been many areas of research covering topics such as IT research, strategy, technology, and implementation in a variety of environments. Numerous studies have examined factors related to various areas of research as well as rankings of various kinds. Prolific authors were surveyed using a qualitative questionnaire for the purpose of obtaining data on the factors that motivate their research. This study reports upon the completion of a pilot study in the development of a quantitative research instrument to evaluate the factors that affect MIS research.
