On the Use of Experiments in Design Science Research: A Proposition of an Evaluation Framework. Mettler, T., Eurich, M., & Winter, R. Communications of the Association for Information Systems, 34:223–240, January, 2014. ![On the Use of Experiments in Design Science Research: A Proposition of an Evaluation Framework [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Although experiments are considered a valid scientific method for evalu ating the outcome of design science research (DSR), only minimal procedural guidelines or standards exist that help researchers in the setup and conduct. To take advantage of and encourage researchers to include design experiments as an inherent part of th eir build and test cycle, this study proposes a set of guidelines. In order to get a broad overview of how researchers currently apply the experimental method in DSR and to detect potential drawbacks, an extensive review of the extant literature was conduc ted. On this basis, we propose an evaluation framework that complements the general design science research guidelines of Hevner and colleagues. The purpose of this framework is to assist researchers, reviewers, editors, and readers in understanding possib le pitfalls as well as to ask the right questions which need to be answered in the conduct of design experiments.
