The contribution of this paper is a methodology for profiling literature in Management Information Systems (MIS) using a powerful software for co-citation analysis — Citespace. We analyze ten years of research published in the Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS) from 2000 to 2009. The analysis of the published material includes examining variables such as most productive authors, universities with the most publications, geographic diversity and citation analysis. This study has also identified potentially important studies that have contributed to the expanding and collection of intellectual wealth of JMIS. Other IS/MIS journals whose works have largely influenced and led the researchers published in JMIS have also been highlighted. The primary value of this paper lies in extending the understanding of the evolution and patterns of MIS research. This work also has implications for researchers, universities, research institutions and journal editors. We hope that the readers will employ and extend the given methodology to conduct similar studies in MIS and other research areas.
