Schöller Senior Fellow Prof. Jeffrey Parsons, PhD (with K. R. Larsen et al.) published an article in MIS Quarterly.
The paper “Validity in Design Science” tackles a long-standing issue in design science research: how to define and demonstrate the validity of knowledge claims about artifacts such as models, methods, and instantiations. It introduces the “Design Science Validity Framework”, which categorizes validity into criterion, causal, and context types and offers a systematic way for researchers to plan and report validation activities. By applying this framework to existing studies, the authors show how it can clarify, communicate, and strengthen the evidentiary basis for design science contributions.
