Consider:

Periodically (or continuously) updated, perhaps under the watchful eye of a departmental editor responsible for that line of research. These annotated bibliographies could be spun off from literature reviews and handed off from one researcher to another as research interests change.

Works that track the measurement of a particular construct through the literature. This might include the instrument itself, validity and reliability data, and so on.

Have you developed an exciting data highway based methodology. Perhaps, in addition to the publishing the primary paper, you may have an opportunity to fully document the methodology for others to employ. Or, how about establishing a short term business on the internet - say, for selling cases to students - to serve as a living laboratory.

A compendium of conceptual models used in information systems research. These might be done collectively, in a standardized format, by various individuals familiar with different lines of research. They could provide brief tutorials on each model, links to original references, citations for the applications of the models, and useful instrumentation. An interesting project for a doctoral seminar.

Constantly growing and accessible from anywhere in the world. Involves interesting questions of categorizing modules for easy identification and sharing.

Researchers located throughout the world could design, implement, and document research that involves replications in many different cultures and environments. Information Technology infrastructure comparisons could also be readily carried out.

Short lived conferences of international experts focused on specific research issues with both a summary and the detailed conference transcript available online.

Virtual organizations, such as ISWorld Net or MISQ Discovery can be made into open ones with all procedures, communications, measures, programs, and other data, available to be poked at, prodded, studied and reported in MISQ Discovery .

Student project teams, curious faculty, and a worldwide organizational lab could help us learn quickly. Couple that with openness, visibility, worldwide access, and nonproprietary technology so others (students, faculty in other disciplines, executives) can quickly learn with us. Experiments of such schemes are likely targets for MISQ Discovery.

Developments in online Pedagogy, in unique and proven effective, could be described and illlustrated in MISQ Discovery.

Web accesss data, discussion groups logs, email archives, and so on can provide a rich opportunity for analysis. Interface features can be varied to see how it influences user behavior as detected in log traces. Behavior of new versus return visitors or of browsers versus buyers can be compared. Discussion lists might be catalyzed to so and subsequent subscriber behavior or attitudes measured. Firms may be willing to share transaction and log data for subsequent analysis.
