*Abstract*

Design science research is a research paradigm focusing on problem-solving.
It is increasingly accepted and adopted by Information Systems (IS)
researchers as a legitimate research paradigm because of its capability in
balancing research relevance and rigor. In the last fifteen years, many
design science research has been published in top IS journals and has
received a lot of attentions from IS researchers. However, current
confusion and misunderstandings of DSR’s central ideas (e.g., definition,
philosophical foundation, research outcomes, etc.) are obstructing it from
having a more striking influence on the IS field. The purpose of this paper
is to present a comprehensive and critical review of existing DSR
literature. In total, 119 papers, published in top IS journals and
conference proceedings, were included in the review. The results of this
study portray a big picture of current DSR in IS field and build a
comprehensive theoretical knowledge base in terms of DSR-related issues.
This study also identifies many research issues which can be examined by
future DSR.
