Thisedited three volume edition brings together significant papers previouslypublished in the Journal of information Technology (JIT) over its 30 yearpublication history. The three volumes of EnactingResearch Methods in Information Systems celebrate the methodologicalpluralism used to advance our understanding of information technology's role inthe world today. In addition to quantitative methods from the positivisttradition, JIT also values methodological articles from critical research perspectivesinterpretive traditions, historical perspectives, grounded theory, and actionresearch and design science approaches.
