Design Science

Arabic translation: منهجية البحث العلمي التصميمي

English to Arabic translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
English term or phrase: Design Science
Dear Translators,
Apparently, this is a well-known research methodology in the field of IT research, but I cannot find an equivalent term in Arabic.

Its definition, according to Wikipedia, is: Design science is an outcome-based information technology research methodology, which offers specific guidelines for evaluation and iteration within research projects. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_science_(methodology))

Here are some contexts:
"This study follows a design science research approach, with the purpose of developing a maturity model to
assess organizational agility."

"Based on a design science research approach with a comprehensive literature review and an empirical investigation utilizing factor
analysis, both scientific rigor, as well as practical relevance, is ensured."

"A typical design science project includes four basic phases: analysis, design, evaluation, and diffusion."
I hope you can help me figure out its Arabic translation.
Thank you all in advance.

Arabic translation:منهجية البحث العلمي التصميمي
Explanation:

The expression "design science research methodology" is a layered expression with three levels of modification, as follows:

1. The word "research" modifies the noun "methodology." In other words, the methodology in question is not just any kind of methodology, but a "research methodology," or منهجية بحثية or منهجية أبحاثية (both are used, but منهجية بحثية is better).

2. The word "science" modifies the noun "research," so that the research in question is not just any kind of research, but "science research" (بحث علمي). Therefore the methodology in question is not just any kind of "methodology" or "research methodology," but "science research methodology," or منهجية بحثية عليمة or منهجية البحث العلمي

3. The word "design" modifies the noun phrase "science research," so that the science research in question is not just any kind of science research, but "design science research" (بحث علمي تصميمي), and the methodology" in question is not just any kind of science research methodology, but specifically "design science research methodology," or منهجية البحث العلمي التصميمي

As you can see from the Wikipedia article that you included in your question, the phrase "design science" is not commonly used as a stand alone phrase as if it were a regular noun phrase. It is used mainly to characterize a particular type of methodology, more specifically, a particular kind of research methodology. You can see that in the very title of the article.

We can, of course, translate "design science" by itself, but it would be what we call a red herring. It would throw the reader off completely. But when taken in its context, its meaning comes out clearly.

"This study follows a design science research approach."

مشروع يتبع المهجية العلمية التصميمية

Notice that the Arabic language does not use noun modifiers, so we have to resort to using attributive adjectives instead of noun modifiers, but that is a separate topic of discussion, and a very long one at that. It would not be appropriate to address it here.

Asker: Thanks for your help. How would you translate the term "Design science research approach"? and how does علم التصميم correlates with its being an IT research methodology? Also, the provided link leads me to an Amazon page about a book entitled القيادية and nothing else. Thanks again.

Asker: Thank you for your help!
