This book introduces higher-degree research students and early career academics to scientific research as occurring in the field of information systems and adjacent fields, such as computer science, management science, organization science, and software engineering. It covers the entire research process, from start to finish, placing particular emphasis on understanding aspects of research, such as motivation, modes of inquiry, theorising, planning for research, planning for publication, and ethical challenges in research. The book guides beginning researchers in their quest to do scholarly work and assists them in developing their own answers and strategies. Jan Recker explains the fundamental concepts that govern scientific research. He then moves on to introduce the basic steps: choosing research questions, developing theory, building a research design, employing research methods, and finally writing academic papers. He also covers essentials of ethical conduct of scientific research. This second edition contains major updates on all these elements and significant expansions to several chapters. A companion website provides pedagogical materials and instructions for using this book in teaching. It focuses on the entire research process from start to finish and provides a guide not only for the methods, but for the ‘process of learning the life of a researcher.’ This well-written and easy-to-read book consists of eight chapters, divided into three parts.
