Abstract: Design Science Research (DSR) enjoys increasing popularity in the field of information systems due to its practical relevance and focus on design. A study from 2012 shows that DSR publications in general have a weak rigor in connection with the selection and use of research methods. At the same time, there has also been a recent increase in Data Science publications based on the paradigm of DSR. Therefore, this study analyzes the rigor and the specific characteristics of the application of DSR based on 62 publications from this field. Major deficits are observed in a large part of the sample regarding the rigorous documentation of the scientific process as well as the selection and citation of adequate research methods. Overall 77.4% of the analyzed publications were therefore characterized as weak in regard to their rigor. One explanation is the novel combination of DSR and Data Science together with the speed at which new findings are obtained and published.
