• Resist, comply or workaround? An examination of different facets of user engagement with information systems (2006, background): “…implementation remains elusive with many theories and frameworks emerging intent on enlightening designers and developers regarding the sources of implementation problems and specifically user resistance to new implementations (Hirschheim and Newman, 1988, Davison et al., 2004, Markus, 1983).”
• Action Design Research (2011, methodology): “It is typically an iterative process based on working hypotheses refined over repeated cycles of inquiry (Davison et al. 2004; Susman and Evered 1978).”
• Co-Creation in Virtual Worlds: The Design of the User Experience (2011, background): “Action research is a collaborative, rigorous, iterative process that goes through several phases in several cycles (Baskerville and Wood-Harper 1998; Davison et al. 2004; Iversen et al. 2004).”
• Design Principles for Competence Management Systems: A Synthesis of an Action Research Study (2004, methodology): “Although there are a variety of action research approaches available to IS researchers (Baskerville and Wood-Harper 1998), Susman and Evered’s canonical action research method is one of the most widely adopted in the social sciences (Davison et al. 2004).”
• Evaluation and Measurement of Software Process Improvement—A Systematic Literature Review (2012, methodology): “• Action research if the study states this research method explicitly [61], [65].”
• Being Proactive: Where Action Research Meets Design Research (2005, methodology): “The rigor of the exemplar study is based on adherence to a set of AR criteria based on the canonical criteria of Davison et al. (2004).”
