Abstract
In the debate on rigor and relevance in MIS Quarterly Vol. 23 No. 1, March 1999, some models that presented the concepts as conflicting were presented. This paper reviews the debate, defines a number of concepts, and concludes by presenting a model of the relationships between rigor and relevance that is more complete with respect to the earlier debate; that is neutral towards different research methodologies and different research topics; and that presents the two concepts as supporting each other rather than being in conflict. We believe the model is useful for the purpose of being able to assess research efforts from a position that is not biased by methodological or other preferences.
