Dear Colleagues,
The design journals list posted here by Marcio Dupont Caballero de
Carranza seems to be the study that my colleagues and I published in
2008.
Friedman, Ken, Deirdre Barron, Silvana Ferlazzo, Tania Ivanka, Gavin
Melles, and Jeremy Yuille. 2008. Design Research Journal Ranking Study:
Preliminary Results. Melbourne, Australia: Swinburne University of
Technology Faculty of Design.
This study was a first effort. It was done rapidly to meet our needs in
a national debate, and for the purposes of this debate, we included
professional magazines along with research journals.
The list published here is inadequate for research. Instead, I suggest
the far superior study led by Gerda Gemser from Delft University of
Technology together with Cees de Bont, Paul Hekkert, and myself.
Gemser, Gerda, Cees de Bont, Paul Hekkert, and Ken Friedman. 2012.
“Quality Perceptions of Design Journals: The Design Scholars’
Perspective.” Design Studies (2012).
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.destud.2011.09.001
The Design Studies article is a far better compilation and all journals
have been subject to evaluation by a broad group of global scholars. The
article contains both the grouping of leading journals and a list of the
40 top journals.
Best regards,
Ken Friedman
