[Jacob Nørbjerg]

I am pleased to announce the publication of volume 27, issue 1 of Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems.

This issue contains two articles:

S. Westin & M. K. Sein: The Design and Emergence of a Data/Information Quality System

Abstract:Poor data and information quality (DQ/IQ) has remained a consistent prob- lem plaguing both the practitioner and academic communities in Information Sys- tems (IS). The consequences of poor DQ/IQ is particularly severe in Construction En- gineering, and the field lacks sufficient DQ/IQ assessment frameworks and tools. To address this shortcoming, we applied an action design research (ADR) approach to develop and implement a DQ/IQ assessment tool called Information Quality System (IQS). The multi-year research project took place in a European construction engi- neering company, and lasted from 2007 to 2012. We drew upon insights from the liter- ature on DQ/IQ assessment and related challenges in construction engineering, as well as practical lessons learned from managing DQ/IQ in the target organization. Through our research, we develop a set of design principles for meeting DQ/IQ challenges.
