“…Since little is known about EA principles in EA research, prior work mostly concentrated on EA principles nature through: (1) suggesting an exhaustive and comprehensible definition of EA principles and shedding light on the role of principles [3-6, 8, 9, 11-15]; (2) discussing the formulation and statement of EA principles, as a set of constraints on the syntax and semantics of EA principles documentation [7,10,11,26]; (3) categorizing EA principles into different areas and scope [10,[25][26][27]; (4) suggesting a set of EA principles, which are either generic or company (context)-specific [10,26,[28][29][30]. We thus reveal four streams of research related to the nature of EA principles namely EA principles definition and role, EA principles documentation, EA principles classification, and EA principles proposition.…”
