The different traditions of European and North American Information Systems research are highlighted and traditional means of measuring research quality (including citation patterns and journal impact factors) are questioned. Shakespearean metaphors are used to highlight these distinctions. The article concludes with a call for greater diversity and appreciation of alternative research traditions and cultures, and of the journals that publish such research.
