Rigor-Mortis: The Knowing-Doing Gap in Research Methods and What We Should Do About It

The knowledge base for conducting both qualitative and quantitative research in information systems (IS) is continually expanding, and novel tools are routinely emerging aimed at making the application of new techniques easy.
