Design Science: Why, What and How - Revisited
Design Science, v 11, 48
18 Nov 2025
Abstract
Design Science is the discipline that studies the creation of artifacts - products, services, and systems and their embedding in our physical, virtual, psychological, economic, and social environments. This editorial is a collective effort of the Design Science Journal's editorial board members, past and present. The journal's inaugural 2015 editorial, "Design Science: Why, What and How," reflected the thoughts and vision of that first editorial board for the new journal and the discipline it represented. The present contribution offers the reflections of editors who served the journal in the past 10 years. The individual contributions were not primed and are presented here unedited for conformity or consistency. Differently from the 2015 editorial, there is no effort to synthesize the individual contributions, leaving the task to our readers, who can draw their own conclusions about the Design Science Journal and community accomplishments to date, and the challenges ahead.
