Students that first learn about and wish to apply Design Science Research (DSR) perceive difficulties in communicating DSR research designs. This, however, is an important communication use case, since more senior design researchers need to gain a good understanding of the DSR research design propositions in order to provide adequate feedback and thus, support the new generation of design researchers. This study features an artefact that fills junior design researchers’ unsatisfied need for support in presenting DSR re-search designs. The artefact was built based on knowledge from the problem environment (i.e., a research methods course) and the emerging body of literature on DSR communication. It is evaluated in a natural field experiment, and the results indicate that the artefact is useful. A contribution of this article is the artefact itself, which is presented explicitly and can be re-used freely by DSR instructors.
