In reply to G. Mauricio Mejía's wondering about journals 'open to innovative
design research methods that are "simple and quick" ' I hope that we may
eventually be able to satisfy this need.
anti-po-des will soon be published from New Zealand, and we hope to attract
such material, as our position, and that of our near neighbours in the
Pacific, is remote from the more scientific base that some of our European
colleague-journals may require.
We certainly intend a range of different perspectives, especially those
which reflect our alternative look at the world, hence our name.
Please keep an eye on anti-po-desdesignjournal.org (or a url we will supply
to the list) or contact me at [log in to unmask]
The call for papers for #2 will be going out in January.

However, I wonder if there is a recommended design research journal for
publishing research that is open to innovative design research methods that
are "simple and quick". When you read the list of journals that Ken shared
with us last January (Design Research Journal Study
<https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=PHD-DESIGN;f4a97cf0.1001>),
it
seems that the top journals only accept very traditional research designs.
In
other words, if the journals in our field are trying to be "scientifically
rigorous" by demanding traditonal experimental methods, how design
researchers
can innovate and share new methods with the design research community?Š
I also have the sense that these journals have a better reception for
research
on design rather than research by/through designŠ
This situation also discourages and reduces our opportunities to
share explorations on developing our "own experimental methods".
Best,
G. Mauricio Mejía
