Hi Robbie,
I find research often has resulted the research products of a stiff back and
an empty wallet. Should these also be included as publications?
Cheers,
Terry

Chris, Ken and list,
Thanks for the posts on dissemination, it helps to clear up some of the
mystique in this area that I have encountered so far in my studies. The tips
on getting work online and available are very helpful for this new
researcher.
Ken's comment:
"There are many other ways to publish -- books and monographs, book
chapters, refereed web sites, papers at leading conferences..."
... raises a question I have been thinking about for a while. I was
discussing only yesterday with my supervisors the nature of design research;
where the written word is a large part of our communication, but not the
only part. In many situations, mine included, the research has resulted in
manufactured products. Should we design researchers consider these artefacts
as a publication? If so, who will count them?
best regards,
Robbie Napper
