This paper reviews the origins, techniques and roles associated with action research into information systems (IS). Many consider the approach to be the paragon of post-positivist research methods, yet it has a cloudy history among the social sciences.

For those faced with conducting, reviewing or examining action research, the paper discusses various problems, opportunities and strategies.
