Abstract [en]

In this chapter, we explore different types of research contributions and research implications. We explain why such a distinction can be useful when discussing research outcomes both when crafting and when evaluating manuscripts for publication. By taking an incremental view of knowledge development, we identify three types of research contributions: theoretical, empirical, and artefactual. Because an implication always exists in relation to a contribution, we explore what implications these contributions lead to in research practice and domain practice. This leads us to propose an analytical framework that we hope can help increase the quality of researchers’ discussions about research contributions and implications, enabling researchers to pinpoint these aspects with higher accuracy. In addition, understanding the implications of research can provide guidance to reviewers and editors in their efforts to scrutinize and develop manuscripts evaluated for journals and conferences.
