Abstract

Within many fields of science, there are well-established principles and structures for communicating research results. Most of these can also, with some adaptations, be used for design science. This chapter introduces the IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure used for presenting empirical research and shows how it can be adapted for presenting and structuring design science work.
