Abstract:
Industry–academia collaborative research faces a persistent challenge: how to promote effective knowledge transfer while maintaining both scientific rigor and industrial relevance. This paper introduces nine methodological guidelines for a Dual Impact Research Methodology (DIRM). The guidelines include mechanisms such as dual-purpose artifacts, hybrid evaluation criteria, and institutionalized knowledge capture. The paper concludes the guidelines provide a coherent yet adaptable framework for achieving dual impact: advancing theory while delivering actionable industrial value.
