Abstract
We propose to create a methodological framework that can be applied to evaluate Research-driven Information Systems (RdIS) in a consistent way. This is done by picking those examples of RdISs that have been evaluated properly and making those evaluation processes standard. Our proposed methodological framework for the evaluation of RdISs can assist IS researchers in selecting the appropriate evaluation methods. Further exploration of the characteristics of RdISs has led to a better understanding on suitable methods to evaluate the potential applicability of RdISs in practice. A study of IS literature revealed that the evaluation of RdISs should be interpretive and multi-method of nature. An RdIS that was developed in our research group is evaluated using a method that was designed with the new methodological knowledge.
