October 29, 2001 Colleagues: Some time ago we posted a request for assistance us in ranking "Exemplary Works on Information Systems Research".A good number of you responded, and the preliminary results are provided here.

Our thanks to all those who participated.

The results are listed as follows: Citation (abbreviated Author, Year),Number of Raters, Mean, Std Dev, and Ranking (based on number of 1st place, 2nd place etc. votes times5 points for a 1st place, 4 for second place etc.).
