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 Industrial Design Monash University p) +61 3 990 31059 f) +61 3 990 31440
