Abstract

Progressively, information systems (IS) researchers draw on digital trace data to capture the emergent dynamics of today’s digitalized world. Digital trace data enable researchers to generate highly context-specific insights into the features and dynamics of socio-technical phenomena. We suggest how IS researchers can use digital trace data to develop situated explanations, that is, explanations that capture the idiosyncratic features of real-world problems in order to generate impactful solutions to these problems. We outline five key principles to build situated explanations based on digital trace data. We make several suggestions on how the information system field can adjust its research and publication practices to embrace the development and dissemination of situated explanations.

通过数字跟踪数据生成有影响力的定位解释

渐渐地，信息系统(IS)研究人员利用数字轨迹数据来捕捉当今数字化世界的新兴动态。数字跟踪数据使研究人员能够对社会技术现象的特征和动态产生高度具体的见解。我们建议信息系统研究人员如何使用数字跟踪数据来开发情境解释，即捕捉现实世界问题的特殊特征的解释，以便为这些问题产生有影响力的解决方案。我们概述了基于数字轨迹数据构建定位解释的五个关键原则。我们就信息系统领域如何调整其研究和出版实践以接受情境解释的发展和传播提出了几点建议。
