**Please note the extended deadline is *1 January 2019*
*Aims & Scope:*
Artifact: Journal of Design Practice is an Open Access, scholarly
peer-reviewed journal that publishes doubleblind peer-reviewed design
research broadly concerned with examining the nature of, developments in,
and understandings of design practices.
Design research is rapidly becoming a knowledge-intensive field
characterized by an overwhelming scholarly interest in design’s many
interfaces. These range from the role of design in solving complex societal
problems to enhancing the sustainability and profitability of businesses
across industries and geographies. This trajectory in many ways focuses
attention on processes and social construction of meanings rather than
design process outcomes.
Against this backdrop, the journal provides an outlet for researchers
across disciplines and research approaches and encourages contributions
from diverse perspectives that examine practices related to traditional and
novel: activities of design, professions of design, and organizational uses
of design. Moreover, 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.
For the upcoming journal issue, we invite manuscripts that may engage with
any of the following themes (but not limited to):
- Theoretical and conceptual perspectives on the nature of current and
future design practice.
- Theoretical and empirical inquiries into the nature and understandings
of contemporary design practices.
- Dimensions of design practice vis-à-vis design knowledge.
- The role of design practice in driving and shaping 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, and/or sustainability perspective.
Broad questions that may be considered in this regard 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’?
