Abstract:

Business & Information Systems Engineering is a relatively young academic discipline in the German-speaking area. Its roots can be traced back to the fields of Business Administration, Social Sciences, Applied Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics, thus consisting of two streams of research that are Formal Scientific Research and Engineering. A weakness of the discipline, as Heinrich et al. highlight, is the methodological education of researchers. This paper takes up this challenge and presents a bibliometric analysis of (co-) authors and media in the discipline in the German-speaking area, the main research works, and bibliographic maps, graphs, and tables. The objective of this paper is to shed light on the nature of development – a contemporaneous state of knowledge in the discipline – and quantify the processes of written communication. A further aim is to develop an infrastructure for the bibliometric analysis of the bibliographies of the used papers.
