A core competency of master and doctoral students is the ability to advance the knowledge in the field. To successfully acquire this competence, first it is essential that the contours of the discipline are very clearly understood so new knowledge can be consistently proposed and recognized in the field. Effectively delineating a discipline requires knowing its four essential and interconnected dimensions, which are: (1) Domains: what are the real and significant problems that are addressed in the short and long term by the discipline; (2) Criteria: the values and conditions that legitimize new knowledge and researchers; (3) Practices: the scientific approaches and strategies that are mostly recognizable and employed by the participants in the sense that characterizes a set of best practices in the field; and (4) Gates and Agents: the key processes and actors involved in producing new knowledge and disseminating it, and from where useful examples can be obtained. This course aims to provide students with broad knowledge about these four dimensions in the mainstream of
Information Systems (IS) discipline. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to recognize and navigate in IS research field, as well as plan and articulate actions that meet the key requirements for proposing highquality knowledge, which will allow them to guide their choices in the development of their own research proposals
