CDS Research Paper Template 📝

注意逻辑的完整性和严谨性!!!
要不断思考:从introduction提出的contrbution到related work存在的methodological gaps,以及method的key design choices,到evalution的实验设计分别想要验证什么。

Introduction 🎯

Introduce the business or societal problem to be solved and describe its significant impacts on real-world practices, also identify research gaps and highlight methodological innovations or contributions achieved by a CDS study.

1. problem elaboration

  • problem formulation
  • problem motivation / importance, e.g.,
    • justifying the problem is fundmental
    • connecting to IS literature by placing the problem among a class of relevant IS problems
  • context-specific characteristics of problem

2. research objective

3. methodological gaps

  • core of CDS research

4. methodology illustration

  • overview of the method and findings
  • contribution to the knowledge base (in brief)

Literature Review 📚

1. problem-relevant literature

2. general methodological knowledge base

3.Key novelty of our study: from two perspactives, problem and methods

Problem Formulation 💬

A formal definition of the problem, generally it can describe as an optimization problem

Method 🔍

follow a logiclal, cohensive and easy-to-understand manner

design novel IT artifacts to realize the methodological novelties specified in the Related Work section. It is important to link designed IT artifacts with their corresponding methodological novelties.

the rigor in method design is reflected in the sound rationale that guides the design and the proper justification for key design choices, which could stem from the analysis of the requirements and properties of a focal problem or be informed by theories.

1. theoretical analysis(not necessary)

2. method framework overview

3. detailed description of each components

  • should foucs on the methodological gaps / contributions to illustrate.

Evaluation 📊

demostrate and explain the performance advantages

1. ML-oriented evaluation

2. domain-specific evaluation

  • case study
  • some specific metric improvement(e.g., accuracy, auroc) -> actual benefit in practice
