How do MIS researchers handle missing data in survey-based research: A content analysis approach
作者：
Highlights：
• Outline the causes of missing data in MIS survey-based research.
• Detailed review of common remedial techniques for treatment of missing data in survey-based research.
• Detailed review of 749 survey-based research articles, published between 1990 and 2010, in 9 mainstream MIS Journals.
• Research reveals that MIS researchers rarely report, explicitly, the presence or treatment of missing data.
• Recommend editorial policies that encourage reporting of missing data and techniques (with rationale) used to treat them.
