Abstract: We have fully read and analyze 550 articles in order to describe the MIS field and its evolution over time. This paper has three objectives. First of all, we are attempting to describe the field of MIS on several dimensions, by identifying the issues, areas, methodologies, and so on. Then, we will attempt to understand the evolution, and in particular, confirm or invalidate the hypothesis of the fragmentation of this research field. Finally, in light of our analyses, the objective is to contribute to the advancement of a recurring debate at the heart of the scientific research community in MIS: the diversity and the relevance of academic work.
