Editor’s Comments
这篇编辑评论关注信息系统领域对创新性作为发表标准的担忧，指出创新性定义模糊、缺乏具体指导，并探讨其与严谨性和相关性的平衡。
This editorial is inspired by a growing concern within the information systems (IS) community that novelty has become a dominant criterion for publication, despite being unevenly interpreted and poorly specified. In our editorial experience, when authors are told that their papers lack novelty, they often receive little concrete guidance on what precisely counts as novelty, how it varies across paradigms, or how it should be balanced with rigor and relevance.
