The IS discipline has accumulated a large corpus of published works.  A project is being undertaken whose purpose is to establish the conceptual foundations for a research technique for the critical analysis of published works, and to develop methodological guidance for its application. This article discusses the challenges that have confronted that undertaking.</p>}, journal={Australasian Journal of Information Systems}, author={Clarke, Roger}, year={2020}, month={Mar.} }
