One of my design science research based  paper was recently accepted by IEEE and that ignited this article that I wanted to write for a while, as a masters dissertation supervisor, I find that many students don't understand Design Science Research (DSR) Methodology well. Many students struggle with DSR because they are used to the usual way of doing research: read some papers, write a report, and finish. But DSR is different.

If you skip the improvements and only build something once, the whole purpose of DSR is lost. Why Students Find DSR Difficult Students often think DSR is only about building a system.
