We are happy that our research paper has been accepted at the DESRIST 2022 in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA.

Abstract: The development of design principles is an important ingredient in design science research. Design principles capture and formalize lessons learned from a situational design endeavour to guide both academics and practitioners alike in building similar artefacts. Although the development procedure is highly iterative and creative, it requires a certain degree of systematics, in order to ensure rigor. Against this backdrop, this short paper reports on our ongoing project in which we interview DSR paper authors and ask them to reflect on their actual design path to extract general activities and abstract strategies. In doing this, we (1) complement prior conceptual work with empirical insights and (2) present an initial set of four strategies for the development of design principles, structured along with the deductive and inductive modes of theorizing.
