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. Instead of focusing primarily on research methods as
many other textbooks do, it covers the entire research process,
from start to finish, placing particular emphasis on understanding
the cognitive and behavioural aspects of research, such as
motivation, modes of inquiry, theorising, planning for research,
planning for publication, and ethical challenges in research.
Comprehensive but also succinct and compact, the book guides
beginning researchers in their quest to do scholarly work and to
assist them in developing their own answers and strategies over the
course of their work. Jan Recker explains in this book the
fundamental concepts that govern scientific research and then moves
on to introduce the basic steps every researcher undertakes:
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 plus significant expansions on relevant research methods
such as design research and computational methods, a rewritten and
extended chapter on theory development, and expansions to the
chapters on research methods, scientific publishing, and research
ethics. A companion website provides pedagogical materials and
instructions for using this book in teaching.
This book offers postgraduate and early career researchers in
accounting and information systems a guide to choosing, executing
and reporting appropriate data analysis methods to answer their
research questions. It provides readers with a basic understanding
of the steps that each method involves, and of the facets of the
analysis that require special attention. Rather than presenting an
exhaustive overview of the methods or explaining them in detail,
the book serves as a starting point for developing data analysis
skills: it provides hands-on guidelines for conducting the most
common analyses and reporting results, and includes pointers to
more extensive resources. Comprehensive yet succinct, the book is
brief and written in a language that everyone can understand - from
students to those employed by organizations wanting to study the
context in which they work. It also serves as a refresher for
researchers who have learned data analysis techniques previously
but who need a reminder for the specific study they are involved
in.

This book is designed to introduce doctoral and other higher-degree
research students to the process of scientific research in the
fields of Information Systems as well as fields of Information
Technology, Business Process Management and other related
disciplines within the social sciences. It guides research students
in their process of learning the life of a researcher. In doing so,
it provides an understanding of the essential elements, concepts
and challenges of the journey into research studies. It also
provides a gateway for the student to inquire deeper about each
element covered . Comprehensive and broad but also succinct and
compact, the book is focusing on the key principles and challenges
for a novice doctoral student.

This book presents ten essays that examine the potential of digital
responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The essays explore new digital
concepts for learning and teaching, provide an overview of
organizational responses to the crisis through digital
technologies, and examine digital solutions developed to manage the
crisis. Scientists from many disciplines work together in the fight
against the virus and its numerous consequences. This book explores
how information systems researchers can contribute to these global
efforts. The book will be of interest to researchers and scholars
in the field of digital business and education.
