This paper is a research proposal to review research activities in Information Systems (IS) in Korea. We are planning to review and analyze research papers published in top five IS-related academic journals in the twenty-year period between 1987 and 2006. Published papers are to be classified by 1) research topics, 2) research methodologies, 3) the units of analysis, and 4) reference disciplines. The classification system employed in this study was developed by Vessey et al. (2002). The results then are to be compared with the similar studies of Korean, Western and Chinese researchers. Comparison analysis will show us the 'similarities and differences of IS research discipline in different countries. Using the results of the study, we will suggest some recommendation for the improvement of IS research in Korea.
