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. Sally Hollis-McLeod For the Editorial Board of anti-po-des journal of design research 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
