Dear David and Ken
For me, the dissemination is quite high in ISI indexed journal
because of monitoring the citation. So why we must encourage PhD
publication in there . I did not mean the other journal value is
low. But There are several important journals in there. For
instance Anyone doubt about the quality of Design Issues, Design
Studies, Digital Creativity etc. indexed by ISI ? My argument
was their number is not enough.
Anyway, I prefer to stop this nice argument here.
Thank you for your contributions
Nice evening
