This single journal study investigated the predatory journal landscape in the information systems field, by analysing the International Journal of Applied Information Systems (IJAIS). The IJAIS was viewed from a bibliometric and citation perspective. The bibliometric study examined article productivity, authorship patterns and collaboration. An analysis was performed of 728 articles published in 11 volumes and 104 issues of IJAIS in the period 2012 to 2017. The citation study analysed citations to IJAIS papers in Scopus and Web of Science. A cited reference search was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science, and IJAIS papers cited in the list of references or works cited in Scopus or Web of Science papers were retrieved. Results of the bibliometric study revealed that the average number of articles per volume in IJAIS was 62. 1837 authors contributed to this journal. The journal displays a collaborative authorship pattern with 627 (86.13%) articles that were co-authored, compared to 101 (13.87%) that were single authored.
