- In a recent Stanford University study on the career impact of 8 million researchers across 174 fields, I was included in the Top 1.16% among 16,581 global researchers in the field of Information Systems (broadly defined to include not only IS but also many applied areas of computer science such as software engineering, database management, distributed computing etc.) for career impact. The study uses a total of six citation-related criteria which are compiled into a single measure, the “composite citation index” in an effort to develop a more transparent, comparable, and less error-prone approach to citation metrics. This index accounts for biases such as self-citations and reflects the scholars’ career-long citation impact.

- Paper on Requirements Traceability published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2001) is ranked # 39 among nearly 70,000 papers published in the field of software engineering in the 50-year history of the field. It is also the third most cited paper on Requirements Engineering and the most cited paper on Traceability. It is one of the only two articles authored by an Information Systems faculty member that are featured in the Top 100. Google scholar citations: 1330 (09/21/2022) [See Vahid Garousi , Joao M. Fernandes , “Highly-cited papers in software engineering: The top-100”, Information and Software Technology, Vol. 71, 2016. pp 108-128].
- Co-PI on a $ 3.92 Million grant (Cybersecurity workforce development in the age of Artificial Intelligence) from the National Science Foundation. It is the 4th largest regular research grant ever to Georgia State University (excluding three infrastructure grants) from the NSF and the largest research grant from any source to the Robinson College of Business.

- A recent conference on “Grand Challenges of Traceability: The Next Ten Years” notes that my ‘seminal work’ has been critical in laying the foundation for a “flurry of research that has continued until this day”.[See Giuliano Antoniol, Jane Cleland-Huang, Jane Huffman Hayes, Michael Vierhauser, Grand Challenges of Traceability: The Next Ten Years, https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03129]
- Traceability reference models and mechanisms developed in my research have been incorporated in several leading commercial system and software engineering tools. They are at the center of requirements management capability and traceability in the SLATE system engineering tool from TD Technologies / Texas Instruments. TeamCenter, a Product Lifecycle Management tool from Siemens which has its roots in SLATE has the highest worldwide market share (over 25%) and is used by nearly 4,700 organizations worldwide in a wide variety of industries including computer software, aviation, and manufacturing.
- The REMAP model for managing design rationale developed in my research has been used extensively in large commercial and government system engineering organizations such as Raytheon, MCI, and Westinghouse to manage design rationale in large, complex, mission-critical projects.
- REMAP is a primary component in the Knowledge Based Software Assistant tools Concept Demo and ADM created by Arthur Andersen / Andersen Consulting on behalf of the U.S. Air Force. It has also been integrated into several commercial tools such as Rapid Object Application Development (ROAD) environment, Requirements Elicitation Capture and Analysis System (RECAS), TraceNet, and Knowledge Based Software Assistant /ADM.
