Comprehensive Framework for Evaluation in Design Science Research
1. The document discusses the importance of all the features which has to be considered
while the evaluation occurs such as the purpose of the evaluation, nature of the
evaluands, design goals and methodology.
2. The different purposes of evaluation are discussed in the paper such as the
performance of the artefact, utility of the artefact and efficiency of the resultant
evaluand. One of the most significant purposes of the evaluation in DSR is to
authenticate the ID design theories (Lewis, 2015). Identification of the better artefact
with enhanced features is the other aim of the evaluation as the better one can be used
for a longer period of time. Formative evaluation is the final purpose of the evaluation
which states the strengths and weaknesses of an artefact (Venable, Pries-Heje &
Baskerville, 2012).
3. The qualities of the evaluands are evaluated based on accuracy, performance,
functionality, completeness, consistency, reliability and usability.
4. There are different kinds of artifacts in DSR like the product artifacts, process
artifacts, technical artifacts and socio-technical artifacts (McKenney & Reeves, 2018).
The three different types of objectives of the evaluation design in DSR are ethics,
efficiency and rigor.
5. The different types of evaluation methods used in DSR are different for different
authors. The paper concludes by stating the importance of evaluation in IS Design
Science Research and its impact on the aspiring DSR researchers for enhancing their
effectiveness (Abdulkadiroğlu et al., 2017).
