*Artifact: Journal of Design Practice* is an Open Access journal that
publishes double-blind peer-reviewed design research examining the nature
of, developments in, and understandings of design practices.

*Artifact does not charge APCs or submission fees.*

Design research is rapidly becoming a knowledge-intensive field,
characterized by an overwhelming scholarly interest in design’s many
interfaces, from the role of design in solving societal problems, to
enhancing the sustainability and profitability of businesses across
industries and geographies. Artifact encourages contributions from diverse
perspectives related to both traditional and the emerging new activities of
design, professions of design, and organizational uses of design. The
journal aims to reflect recent decades’ substantial transformation of the
field of design research, with contributions that touch on design practices
from a broad spectrum of scientific fields such as semiotics, design
semantics, critical discourse analysis, science and technology studies,
design(erly) thinking, management, organization, and material history.

*We invite manuscripts that may engage with (but are not limited to) any of
the following themes:*

   - Theoretical and conceptual perspectives on the nature of current and
   future design practices.
   - Theoretical and empirical inquiries into the nature and understandings
   of design practices.
   - The role of design practice in shaping and realizing entrepreneurial
   processes and/or strategies.
   - The role of design practice in relation to societal or organizational
   change, innovation and value creation from a competitive, financial, social
   or sustainability perspective.

*Broad questions that may be considered are:*

   - Is it possible to limit domain-specific bodies of professional
   knowledge and authorized procedures of design?
   - What are the roles of classical design disciplines such as craft-based
   design, graphic design, industrial design, etc. in relation to the growing
   interest in the concept of ‘design thinking’?
   - In a time where the boundaries between professional design fields tend
   to blur, does it any longer make sense to talk about a professional design
   practice, rather than many ways of practicing design?

*Submission guidelines*

Prospective authors should ensure their papers follow the *Artifact:
Journal of Design Practice *author guidelines and Intellect Style Guide.

All submission must include a signed Open Access publishing agreement
giving us permission to publish your paper, should it be accepted by our
peer-review panel.
