	abstract = {Purpose {\textendash} The purpose of this paper is to analyze the types of research published in the Association for Information Systems (AIS) basket of top journals. Design/methodology/approach {\textendash} This paper uses bibliographic analysis to analyze all the articles that were published in the AIS basket of top journals over a ten-year period, from 1998 to 2007. Articles were classified based on their paradigmatic and methodological approach. Findings {\textendash} Although there is a common perception within the information systems (IS) research community that European IS research is mostly qualitative and interpretive, the bibliographic analysis reveals that the two European IS journals are not significantly different from their US counterparts. All six journals in the AIS basket are remarkably similar in terms of the types of research published. Originality/value {\textendash} This article is one of the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the types of research published within the AIS basket of top journals. It provides a picture of how the two European IS journals differ from their US counterparts.},
