Design Principles in Information Systems Research: Trends in Construction and Formulation
Abstract
Design knowledge has become increasingly important in information systems research in recent years, withDesign Science Research (DSR) as an approach to developing innovative and effective artifacts. DesignPrinciples (DPs) have proven to be a popular tool for contributing to abstract design knowledge. Theconstruction and formulation of DPs has become more professional in recent years, with publicationsproviding guidance. However, the implementation by researchers of these rules needs to be investigated.To address this gap, we conducted a systematic literature review, analyzed the various forms of designknowledge that have emerged, and examined the state of design principle construction and formulation.Our analysis shows that in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of publicationsdealing with DP design. Our results shed light on the characteristics and evolution of DPs, as well as theirconstruction and formulation, and provide valuable guidance for future research.
