Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyse research published in the Journal of Enterprise Information Management (JEIM) in the last ten years (1999‐2008).
Design/methodology/approach
Employing a profiling approach, the analysis of the 381 JEIM publications includes examining variables such as the most active authors, geographic diversity, authors' backgrounds, co‐author analysis, research methods and keyword analysis.
Findings
All the findings are in relation to the period of analysis (1999‐2008). Research categorised under descriptive, theoretical and conceptual methods is the most dominant research approach followed by JEIM authors. This is followed by case study research. The largest proportion of contributions comes from researchers and practitioners with an information systems (IS) background, followed by those with a background in business and computer science and IT. The keyword analysis suggests that “IS”, “electronic commerce”, “internet”, “logistics”, “supply chain management”, “decision making”, “small to medium‐sized enterprises”, “information management”, “outsourcing” and “modelling” are the most frequently investigated keywords. The paper presents and discusses the findings obtained from the citation analysis that determines the impact of the research published in JEIM.
Originality/value
The primary value of this paper lies in extending the understanding of the evolution and patterns of IS research. This has been achieved by analysing and synthesising existing JEIM publications.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the first two years of e‐Government research published in the Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy (TGPPP) from 2007 to 2008.
Design/methodology/approach
Employing a profiling approach the analysis of the 41 e‐Government publications includes examining variables such as most productive authors, universities associated with the most publications, geographic diversity, authors' backgrounds, co‐author analysis, and research methods.
Findings
The analytical, descriptive, theoretical and conceptual methods were the most dominant research approaches utilized by TGPPP authors within the last two years. Another fact that emerged is that the largest number of contributions comes from those with an information systems background, followed by business and computer science and IT.
Originality/value
The primary value of this paper lies in extending the understanding of evolution and patterns of e‐Government research. This has been achieved by analyzing and synthesising existing TGPPP publications.
