Abstract

The research onion is widely applied as a guideline for research design. Even though initially it was more designated toward business research, however, more researchers from other disciplines refer to research onion model as a framework for designing the researches. That is including researchers in information system (IS) field. Since IS is a branch of knowledge that combined both social and natural studies, therefore using research onion per se needs some modifications because research onion has not accommodated all of research methods/approaches in IS research. This paper aims at proposing some modifications on research onion to fulfil the need of IS research design. The modified research onion will provide some guidelines for IS researchers in designing their research in accordance with IS research body of knowledge.
