Authors highly value reviews, yet complain about the time it takes to get feedback to the point of putting research timeliness at stake.

Learning and conducting Design Science Research (DSR) are complex undertakings, for which there is little assistance other than publications describing how to do them. They include many activities which must be mastered and coordinated, sometimes when doing them for the first time. This paper describes a new tool, DScaffolding, developed to support...
