Despite multiple efforts by senior scholars, Design Science Research is viewed as underperforming given its distinct value for the IS domain. Conducting a descriptive literature review, this study sets out to survey the DSR landscape in the Senior Scholar Basket to measure the actual performance of DSR and provide a benchmark for future DSR strategies and studies. Reviewing 111 studies using a coding scheme developed over seven iterations, the status quo of DSR is depicted and analyzed. The results present: (i) the current balance between theoretical and practical impacts achieved in DSR, (ii) a pattern of perpetual black box prototyping, and (iii) a reluctance to tackle real-world messy problems and deliver practically useful artefacts. Finally, the study provides the IS community with the opportunity to reflect on the shape DSR has taken and decide if indeed this is what the community needs or deserves.

The construction of an artifact to visually represent information is usually required by Information Visualization research projects. The end product of design science research is also an artifact and therefore it can be argued that design science research is an appropriate research paradigm for conducting Information Visualization research. Design science research requires that, during the Rigor Cycle, the design of the artifacts should be based on a scientific knowledge base. This article provides a knowledge base in the form of design guidelines that can guide the design of the view for an Information Visualization solution. The design principles and guidelines presented in this article are identified by means of a literature review.
