Abstract

Design Science Research is a research paradigm suitable for application-oriented disciplines that develop (construct) artifacts as solutions to practical problems. Design Science Research is known to be a mainstream research paradigm in engineering and other disciplines. In recent years, Design Science Research (DSR) has become an established research approach in the field of Information Systems (IS). Nevertheless, there is an ongoing debate about the methodology and guidelines for Design Science Research in Information Systems (IS-DSR). This paper proposes to gather and leverage insights from other design disciplines, such as engineering, to provide clarity and inspiration for IS-DSR and to work towards a common understanding of design science research across disciplines. This paper provides results of an initial empirical analysis of research literature from engineering disciplines. The results provide suggestions for validating DSR results and contribute to the understanding of research guidelines for DSR. In addition, a novel, fine-grained, and operational framework for analyzing DSR papers and projects is presented. The third contribution is a proposal to develop a common basic schema for design science research, analogous to the standard IMRaD schema for empirical research. Based on the analysis of samples of papers, this paper proposes IDEaD as the standard scheme for Design Science Research, i.e., Introduction, Description, Evaluation, and Discussion.
