The Status

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.

Scientific Knowledge Base

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.

Guiding Questions

Without a guideline or structure, conducting a literature review on a psychological construct might become a chaotic process . This canvas was built based on the author's experience in order to help psychological researchers classify, organize, and summarize the information relating to the psychological construct of interest into several essential aspects including definition, classification, measurement, sample, predictors and outcomes, mediators and moderators, interventions, and theories. For each aspect, there are some guiding questions which are expected to help researcher decice which information should be focused while examining scientific documents. The completely filled canvas should depict the status quo of the research on the psychological construct of interest, facilitating the research process.

AbstractContext awareness is essential for successful business process management (BPM). So far, research has covered relevant BPM context factors and context-aware process design, but little is known about how to assess and select BPM methods in a context-aware manner. As BPM methods are involved in all stages of the BPM lifecycle, it is key to apply appropriate methods to efficiently use organizational resources. Following the design science paradigm, the study at hand addresses this gap by developing and evaluating the Context-Aware BPM Method Assessment and Selection (CAMAS) Method. This method assists method engineers in assessing in which contexts their BPM methods can be applied and method users in selecting appropriate BPM methods for given contexts. The findings of this study call for more context awareness in BPM method design and for a stronger focus on explorative BPM. They also provide insights into the status quo of existing BPM methods.
