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,
