  title = {Doctor of Philosophy, Heal Thyself},
  abstract = {As doctors of philosophy who are specialists in information systems, we routinely perform diagnoses of, and write prescriptions for, individuals, groups, organizations, societies, and their artifacts. The proverb {\textquotedblleft}physician, heal thyself{\textquotedblright} requires that we ourselves, along with our scholarly artifacts, societies, organizations, and groups, undergo the same manner of diagnosis to which we subject others, and that we have a taste of our own medicine. This essay uses three published papers of Working Group 8.2 of the International Federation for Information Processing{\textemdash}from the 1984 Manchester meeting, from the 1990 Copenhagen meeting, and from the 1997 Philadelphia meeting{\textemdash}as a source of rich material with which to illustrate the difference in our diagnoses and prescriptions if we were to do unto ourselves what we do unto others.},
