dc.description.abstract	This contribution analyses the impact of information quality on research. It presents a theoretical discussion of the concept 'information quality' and shows that good information quality entails good research. The discussion is relevant for both researchers and research users, because it shows that information quality is a critical determinant of research success, as measured by the creation of new knowledge. Thus, information quality fundamentally impacts research. Reasons for the existence of low quality information as well as proposed solutions to this problem are provided in the paper.
