N2 - We extend Gregor and Hevner’s knowledge contribution framework (KCF) to cover complex IS artifacts comprised of multiple sub-artifacts. Drawing from the work of Lee, Thomas, and Baskerville which advocates a return to the IS artifact in design science research, we initially extend knowledge contribution evaluation to include distinct information, social, and technology artifacts, by adding graphical elements to create a Knowledge Contribution Diagram (KCD). Additional artifact types are added to show extensibility and expressive power. We demonstrate the approach on four research articles, two from the original set classified by Gregor and Hevner, and two from more recent publications. KCD create an expressive visual evaluation tool. Better articulation of multiple knowledge contributions from complex information system artifacts can improve the appreciation of DSR knowledge contributions in the field. The proposed technique is intuitive, extensible, and can add expressiveness to all design science research reporting.
